How did Foreman generate so much power with such short movements?

Word is he used to punch with 100lbs barbells.

 

Danny Williams only fought 4 opponents under 210lbs. But about half of Foreman's opponents were under 210lbs......And Foreman never knocked out 90.9% of his opponents over 225lbs

 

he just threw hooks like a sledgehammer

 

Danny Williams was KO artist himself in his glory days. Just look at all this power:

Lol , someone just got completely owned . Get him the hell out of here .

 

Shut up ... You are just a know nothing Klit fan most likely ... You have lost the small amount of credibility that you originally had in this thread .

 

Funny thing is those numbers are deflated because Foreman's last 5 opponents who weighed north of 225 he went the distance with. When he was less then 42 years old that number was 90.9%

 

These guys aren't even boxing fans , that became painfully obvious when you see Them mentioning Danny Williams in the same breath as George Foreman. These guys are worse than the fanboys of any other fighter .

 

How do you judge power then? Foreman could not hurt Ali with his best shots but at the same time Ali needed smelling salts to get up against 188lb Cooper.

Big / thudding power.

 

Ali's chin was legendary ... And he didn't take any real flush shots to the chin in that fight , go watch it actually . He took punishment to the body more than anything .

Just shut your mouth , we all know you aren't a boxing fan ... Just a fanboy with an agenda .

 

Foreman was a natural puncher. He could throw a punch wrong but still hurt you.

 

Very true. Danny Williams is a nice guy but a C class HW on his best day.

 

Big George was just a powerful man. Without technique George had the kind of power to knock most heavyweights out. The term "heavy hands" fit Big George perfect... He was a wild brawler in his hay day who would put all of his weight into all of his punches.....every shot was thrown with bad intentions aiming to knock someone's head off. When he came back......he was older, less wild but threw shorter, straighter punches which helped with improving technically. George was just a man who was a natural puncher.....sometimes they are born with the gift......others have to work at it for years and never become the type of devastating puncher Foreman was known for throughout his career.

 

That may be true but Danny Williams had the power though. Just watch Tyson fight. Tyson didn't even know what hit him.
