    Some of these shots look even more powerful in slow motion especially the Kenny Norton one.

    Great Vids! I love me some Big George. Wlad would probably faint if he saw some of these shots coming at him

    Wide punches and no upper body movement on defense, but if he hit someone clean their going down.

    I've always been a fan of Big George's power, but at the same time, this vid makes me respect the ones who survived and won against him even more. It took skill, slipperiness and finesse.....and in Tommy Morrison's case, a disciplined, smart game plan. Nobody faces Foreman head on and wins. Of the greats of thye past, it would take getting in a dynamite shot first..sort of a preemptive strike...and I'm thinking of Joe Louis here....and he would have HAD to have done that against a powerhouse like Foreman.

    One fight..one of my favorite knockouts ever, is Foreman-Norton...man, did he do a number on Kenny. Foreman reminded me of a lion tearing into Norton.

    I also admire how George Chuvalo soaked it up without going down before the fight was stopped.

    I think Joe Louis could beat him by breaking him down with the jab and using skill and finesse, as well as power.

    Interestingly, watching the video, I was reminded what a great and vicious weapon that looping right hand to the body from Foreman was, a crippling shot that also steered and herded the opponent - and I'm sure he must have got that from studying Joe Louis.

    What he did to Joe King Roman was almost manslaughter.

    Very keen observation, rip. What would this forum do without this kind of insight? Re-writing the book on Foreman.
