He faught everyone put infront of him. Some said he would duck Cotto, but he stepped up to the plate.
Accuracy was the first thing that jumped to my mind. His punches went from point A to point B with none of the force lost in transit.
Young Foreman was excellent at cutting the ring off. Once he did that, it usually spelled disaster for his opponents. The guy was just too damn strong and hard-hitting and he usually knew what punches to throw to maximize his opportunities.
Foreman in his comeback fought many of the same guys the young contenders fought! Old Foreman has many common opponents with Bowe,Tyson and Holyfield. Foreman beat Cooney in 2. He destroyed the same Bert Cooper who dropped Prime Holyfield. He beat Adilson Rodrigues in the same round as Holyfield. Foreman beat the tough Pierre Coetzer in the same round as Frank Bruno an only a round later than Riddick Bowe. Plus Foreman at age 48 wasn't hurt once by a prime Shannon Briggs and Foreman beat Briggs 8 rounds to 4. This Briggs would later go on to stun Lennox Lewis in round 1,win WBO title and challenge Vitali Klitschko. Foreman wasn't dropped once in his comeback by the way. He was still very powerful and still a force. K2 would beat Prime Foreman? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! K2! Vitali was stopped by Chris Byrd,Rocked By fat Sanders! Wlad was KO'd by Ross Purrity! LOL! I guess Prime Foreman was not as good as Lamon Brester huh? You're an idiot. Prime Foreman KO's Wlad in 4 rounds and makes Vitali quit inside 8.
Locard and janeschicken are ****ing stupid bo surprise What strikes me about Foreman is how hard his arm punches were. He coukd generate power with wide swings like he was trying to fell a tree with an axe
Yeah I agree! According to those ****s Locard and Janeschicken,Foreman wasn't as good a fighter as Lamon Brewster.
Great jab, physical and mental strength, excellent timing, huge ring presence that allowed him to apply pressure without expending a lot of energy, heavy hands, underrated ability to cut off the ring, good punch variation. In his comeback he added great composure and an awkward arms out defence that prevented a lot of fighters landing clean on him.
He had such great punching power along with pure physical strength hed push guys around push their guards down and i mean if anybody got hit by him alot theyde shell up, good chin as well,
hey idiot, do you already know the meaning of floored by now? Look at this ***** looking for validation from another ******. why do you klit haters love to ****-suck each other? stand up for yourselves you fairies let me remind you Wlad is not the same fighter he was against Brewster, not by a long shot. Foreman would get beaten by current Wlad worse than little shrimp Jimmy Young did. A puncher's chance, that's all Foreman has against Wlad, against Vitali he wouldn't have even that:hi:
Oh that's right! The unbeatable Vitali Klitschko! HAHA! Foreman is 3 times the fighter than Corrie Sanders is pal. Yeah Wlad is suddenly so much better of a fighter! Stop. He looks good against Mormeck and Thompson. Chill out dick smoker! Wlad was floored by Sam Peter while he was with Steward! He was covering up against the talentless Wach! Foreman would **** him up. Wlad is a nice man and a good fighter but he's not beating Foreman nor was he ever as good.
His power for sure. His first fight with Frazier showed that for sure. He definitely wasn't a technical master, like with his fight with Ron Lyle. But yeah, his power was what made him great.
