    Frazier twice knew what he was getting himself into with George.

    Too bad we can't use him as a "test subject" to solve the argument.

    My opinion George did....but not so repetitively as The Rock provided.

    This is all that needs to be said, really.

    Marciano could punch as hard in the 15th as he was in the first.

    Foreman hit far harder within the first few rounds, though.

    If you measure: weight,height,reach,and velocity i bet it would come out in Marcianos favor...But personally im going with George until round 4 then Rocky until round 15

    This is how I see it. Foreman's blows out over Frazier and Norton were very impressive.

    Foreman hit harder until he gassed out.

    BIG DEE HERE = They were different types of hitters as Big George Foreman was a clubbing type of puncher that knocked opponents down over and over untill they couldn`t get up any more or the referee stopped the fight. While Marciano would hit you with one clean shot and it was over as with the
    Rex Layne fight were he hit Layne one over-hand right and sheared all Laynes front teeth off. Off all the Heavyweight champions only a couple had the power to do that kind of damage. DEMPSEY, LOUIS, MARCIANO, WILLARD
    when he was pissed off enough. JOHNSON when he wanted to really hit as he was really into playing with his victims and making them look stupid, BAER who
    could KO anybody he could hit and if he really wanted to fight.

    Marciano was known for ruining fighters more than Foreman.

    For all of his one punch KO's that are so well known he mauled guys out of there as well.

    BIG MAGOO HERE -

    Sorry, I've always wanted to do that....

    Anyway, I think that Big dee, has a good point about how some punchers pack more power in a single shot while others have constant overwhelming power that can wear a man down. In this particular case however, I do believe that Foreman was the harder puncher from both ends of the spectrum. As sir Russell has already pointed out, Marciano spent a fair amount of time wearing down fighters over prolonged periods of time, with an accumulation of shots, and against men who were quite often, smaller and older as a rule of thumb. Foreman was generally capable of hitting hard in both hands, and regularly scored early KO's over more modern athletes who bigger, stronger, and in most cases, younger. Hell, Foreman was still knocking the bejesus out of young prime fighters 20 years into his old age.

    Foreman was the harder hitter of the two in this biased fan's opinion. Long live George...........THE END.............

    That's how I see it, too. A Foreman with Rocky's conditioning would've been a scary thought, however.
