    I think in this one you have to give Evander the benefit of the doubt and take what he says at face value. After all, no matter what, he is truly the only one who knows for sure, its his head and body in there getting hit.

    Well Foreman was dropped by Jimmy Young... he certainly wasn't a big puncher. Holyfield was stopped by Toney... he certainly wasn't a bigger puncher than Tyson or Lewis.

    Foreman probably did punch Holyfield harder than anybody else did.

    Foreman made a comment that Moorer and Cooney hit him very hard... Lyle certainly did. Ali stopped him but didn't have the power of Frazier, Lyle, or even Holyfield.

    Holy is gracious, but, also delusional........... I know Foreman landed some wicked but slow leather back in 1991 on Holy's head, but none of Foreman's power ever landed with the force of Bert Cooper's or Riddick Bowe's stuff...... I think Holy is a little off here.........
