    Humanly, you can't really throw punches much harder than George is there. He's throwing them from the floor, surreal.

    Not going to lie, the last 2 shots are some of the scariest I ever saw.

    Foreman's best performance and probably his best win (since I believe Frazier was a depleted fighter when Foreman got to him).

    Huge punches, accurate too.

    I agree...I think it's Foreman's best performance and one of my favorite ko's to watch.

    Is it just me, or does Foreman seem to flinch after that right uppercut connects - almost like, "Oh, that HAD to hurt!"

    The Foreman of 1973/74 was a Bad Ass monster. Only the great Muhammad could master him at that point in time.

    For some perverse reason, and God knows I have a world of like for Ken Norton, I've always enjoyed the hell out of this performance by Foreman...absolutely one of my favorite knockouts...

    Only a man with the mental and body toughness of Muhammad Ali could handle this version of George Foreman.

    First of all another amazing post. I have never seen that angle and it is brutal. Well done .. Foreman was a monster.

    Sure the undefeated 29 year old Frazier was totally shot by this point in his career.
