Another great video by @haNZAgod. The Real Deal showing his combination punching variety. IMO he’s probably the best combination puncher at HW along with Joe Louis. This content is protected
It's amazing how much larger the man got over his career. He looks like a totally different fighter by the end of it.
Hard work, scientific training with the likes of 8X Mr. Olympia Lee Haney...And PEDs such as steroids & HGH. He did not have as big a frame as some, & his legs never got that big. But add the drugs into the equation, & he became essentially Super-Sized. His effectiveness shows you need not have more than decent power to have a devastating effect with the right accuracy, aggressiveness & work rate. Forman looks like a different breed over there, given his size & ability to soak up punishment lol!
Watch his fight with Nielsen. 226lbs still diced (last fight) career high weight. Then go back and watch the Qawi fight. Strangely people will always say things like "Too strong for Holyfield" "Natural strength" ect. Evander was among the strongest lineal champs we have ever had at HW once he filled out.
By the time of Bowe 2 I would say he was physically one of the strongest men in the division. He could never add to his raw punching power but his actual strength on the inside was overwhelming. Even Lewis had to throw his body weight on him and hope for the best. He bullied Rahman in the clinches while 40 years old.
