George Foreman had faster hands than prime Muhammad Ali (Hear me out)

Yep - Amir Khan had a great chin.

The speed of a punch is how quickly you can get it from starting point to the target. When learning to jab, I was always taught how quickly you can throw it and return back to base with good form was the truest measure of your speed.

Foreman threw no punches quicker than Ali, but he deffo threw punches better than Ali - hooks, uppercuts, at times, his poleaxe jab (huge, controlling punch in his arsenal).

 

lol

 

I was just thinking how Valuev was the world's fastest puncher.

 

NO ONE HEAR THIS MAN OUT

 

I’ll have what he’s having.

 

Yes and I also think Two Ton Tony Galento was quicker on his feet than Ali as well.

 

Also butterbean.

 

I think you might need a day off

 

We should all partake in what he's having because.....................

 

Bones matter just as much as fast-twitch/speed.

Foreman did have fast hands though. He simply often put power generation over direct delivery.

 

That's true for the Julian Jacksons and Thomas Hearns' of the world. Not the Foreman, Saad and Monzon types. They were strong enough to beat the living daylight out of you with slower pushing punches.

 

Foreman had more speed than for which he is given credit, for sure, but he isn't in the same time zone as Ali as far as speed. Not even close.

 

I think I need to ingest some ‘Shrooms to process this proposition.

Well, at least it’s an excuse for my next intake.

Give it up to the dancing banana!

 

This forum is so deranged and backward that they are mocking the idea that speed equals power/power equals speed...when it literally does do that?
