Why was George Foreman such a successful slugger?

I live in MO and have only seen 2 episodes of that show, which i didn't care 4

 

He’s one of the strongest athletes I’ve ever seen....George Foreman...Reggie White ...and Shaquille O’Neal ( in their respective sports)

 

wrong thread. ha ha. As to Roman, he was a walking dead man after the Foreman fight.

 

He demolished a top ten ATG still in his 20s, another top 20 ATG who was in his prime and had just split two bouts with the GOAT. He also won the title back 20 years after he lost it, becoming the oldest man to ever win the title, and remained a force in quite possibly the strongest heavyweight division even at his advanced age. He's now worth a hundred millions of dollars because he was able to use his illustrious boxing career to market himself in a completely different ballpark. If that's not success, I don't know what it. **** off moron. To put it simply, you're an agenda driven toll and dksab. You're the worst poster here (just MAYBE SerbianLoudmouth is on your level). I've never once see you offer something even remotely resembling a contribution.

 

That's not true.

 

There are two main differences between Baer and Foreman:

- a jab - Foreman had all-time great jab, Baer didn't use it often,
- mentality - Foreman was always prepared to destroy his opponent as quickly as possible, Baer was sometimes lazy and didn't care about finishing fights quickly.

 

I still marvel at how Foreman manhandled and destroyed an ATG like Frazier.
I mean who else could have done that to Smokin Joe?
Apart from his obvious clubbing power and underrated subtle skills his strength was off the scale.

 

besides Power & Chin Foreman can box & have ring IQ.

example pushing tactic to shorter & smaller boxer like FRAZIER 1.
marciano will ended same like frazier..

 

These guys were not as big as Foreman, you are confusing weighing similar with being as big as him, George was a big boned guy drained in his first career. And Foreman was greater and better overall than all these guys, it is why he is an all time great and they are not.

 

In 2 words

 

One of the stupidest comments ever, then Ken Norton should be ranked above Ali? Because Norton won every fight or at least 2/3.

 

He's a boxer puncher
