    Foreman was a beast, imagine frazier dealing with a prime foreman and having all those style and size disadvantages getting beat through the ring like a rag doll and always getting up.
    He really had heart, people like the frog nowadays could take a example from it.

    Just watched Foreman vs Norton for the first time. It's amazing how Foreman's punches don't look like they're so big when he's throwing them but you see the effects instantly on the fighter's he's facing. His jabs look like pawing jabs but the opponent is thrust backward with velocity. His uppercuts look like regular uppercuts, not like he's throwing his whole weight into it like Mosley, but the uppercuts are like someone swinging a sledgehammer upwards at your face. Yeah, I remember the Holyfield fight, it was obvious that Holyfield was like WTF does this guy have in those gloves. Good video, thanks.

    Holyfield has token shots from both Foreman & Tyson. I damn sure would not want to take shots from Tyson & Foreman so I'd have to go with what Holy said.

    " when he was being considered for the part of "Clubber Lang" in the film Rocky III. Shavers was invited to spar with Sylverster Stallone, but refused to do more than jab with the movie star. Stallone egged him on, though, and Shavers punched him on the liver. Stallone immediately quit, went to the toilet and threw up. He later said "that nearly killed me."
