Was the punch that Foreman KO`d Moorer with harder the shot Wlad floored AJ with?

    That's just not true, Foreman hurt Moorer on a few occasions and just prior to the knockout he had him out on his feet.

    the punch that dropped AJ would have KO'd Moorer earlier

    I was simply defending AJ`s chin by comparing his to another fighter who was flored by a forty something heavyweight because some guy said his chin was glass since he got decked by an older fighter, that was my logic, whatever Wlad had lost it clearly wasn`t his punch at all. Foreman`s KO over Cooney was one of his most devastating and he was around 39 and flabby at the time. Archie Moore waass really old when he floored Marciano.

    I never said he never hurt Moore, I said he waited until Moore was off guard and approacjing to hit with his full strength. This is Foreman we're talking about, even a glancing blow or an arm punch could have hurt Moore prior to the KO.

    Moorer, Holyfield (who fought loads of top punchers) and Quawi all said Old Foreman was the hardest hitter they faced. His power even at that age was top class he never really relied on speed so when he was old he was still effective Wlad relied on speed more so when that went it affected the impact of his shots.

    Wlad`s hanspeed against AJ was still quicker than Foreman`s when he KO`d Moorer.

    I think the shot Vlasti landed was harder for sure .. the problem was Wlad had nothing left to follow up .. it was a massive shot.

    I think it added more snap to Wlad`s punch, a lot of Foreman`s punches weren`t as hard as when he was young, some of his punches still came with great force other punches looked sloppy, the punches he hit Cooney withj were harder than the shot that caught Moorer.
