His jab was termed the best since Louis back in the 70’s. It was a power punch for George but lacked the perfect form that Louis exhibited. Foreman looked unbeatable vs Norton. Scary power.
Great video by haNZAgod as usual. I would to love to have seen him include amateur Foreman from his Gold Medal match as well and that would have rounded out all three versions. He busted up the Russian big time with his jab in that one. Take particular note just how fast and far Foreman can advance/skip forward behind that jab when it suits. Such a dangerous unit.
Very heavy jab. One of his primary weapons for keeping people on the backfoot and keeping them from coming in out of his control. His jab is one of the main reasons why he was one of the ATG stalkers of boxing history.
It really looked like he was hitting his opponent with a police battering ram. You either got the hell out the way or you got your head snapped.
Like I mentioned in the other thread, Foreman was one of the few guys who had an almost effortless power. This jab looks like it should be a paw, he's not turning his glove or snapping it but it lands with the force of a power punch.
