    :patsch Lennox is NOT the puncher that Foreman is, furthermore he was old, inactive and out of shape and Vitali still couldn't beat him, Foreman would work him over.

    A lot of people have dropped tua in the mix; great power, insane chin, good stamina back in the day etc, but no one has mentioned the guy that outslugged him and took his bombs?

    I know it's hard to judge given he's one of the most frequently mentioned "what if" guys but what about Ibeabuchi?

    I just don't think Tua is good or skilled enough to beat Foreman.

    NO he isn't, Lewis had a very hard straight Right but guys like Foreman, Tyson & Louis would get great leverage behind ANY and every power punch.

    I wouldn't rank foreman in top 15 punchers of HW.
    He is hard hitter who got job done by multiple punches. Lewis could end fight with single shot. Only one worse of note Foreman stopped with one punch was Moorer who happened to have not best jaw.
    Now lets talk about Tyson.
    Tyson was INCREDIBLY accurate. His power came from speed and placement and he is not that beast that many believe him to be. Listen to Larry holmes. He said Tyson will hit you in your most vulnerable spot and wont give you any chance to recover.
    I can't argue about luois because there is too much variables(different gloves, era).
    But My point is Lewis is definitely much harder puncher punch for punch. Less effective, maybe, but more powerful no doubt.

    Prime Sir Bert Cooper

    Holyfield and Moorer agree he hit harder than Big George. EVen George agrees.

    "Sir Cooper – the hardest I’ve ever been hit. I don’t remember going down or getting up. When George Foreman hit me, I remember going down and getting up. "-Michael Moorer

    "Bert Cooper hit me harder than anyone."-Evander Holyfield

    "If anybody hits harder than Sir Bert Cooper..I'd shoot them!"-George Foreman

    Tua is the master of the **** punch. Ike never saw demonz or madez rapez before Tuaz.

    Ruddockz also haz the rapez punch in his arsenal.

    Did any Foreman opponentz makez rapez after they foughtz him.

    I doubt anyone could outslug Foreman but I can think of a number of boxers who could outbox him. Of the top of my head:

    Ali
    Lewis
    Klitschkos
    Holyfield

    Young Foreman was not much of a boxer (they call it "rope a dope" for a reason).
