    I'd say both Wlad and Lewis hit harder than Foreman.

    Foreman actually hit harder than both. Holyfield said that 42 y.o. Foreman was harder hitter than Tyson and Lewis

    way bad question, foreman was a crusher through and through.

    When Wlad tries the same he gets serially koed by journeymen. Clearly he cant hit like foreman though not for lack of trying. Wlad instead hits when hes outgassed an unconditioned opponent, and doesn't fight conditioned ones. He beats up gassing fatboys when they are all gassed out. Its not the same thing at all.

    Wlad is top three EVER for jab, hardest right ever (or joint with Lewis) and his left hook is absolutely ATOMIC and it isn't his best or most favoured shot!

    A better question would be who hit harder between Foreman and Tyson.

    On topic, I say Wlad, because he's bigger, and has better technique.

    How many one shot ko's did Foreman score? I know Wlad has several in title fights - not vs tomato can journeyman with middling or losing records.

    And Steward also said Wlad hit harder than Lewis.

    Briggs also said Foreman hit harder than Lewis, I may have to revise my initial post.

    Foreman is 6'4" 240lbs. Klitschko is 6'6" 245. They are roughly the same thing except Klitschko has height and reach, while Big George is thicker. Old George was coming to the ring weighing 260. Some of that is fat, but most was still muscle and bone. He's just a big sturdy guy. Basically, he is built the same as Luis Ortiz. Wlad is more technically correct, but Foreman wouldn't be considered small.

    Good points except, without referencing boxrec, I thought George fought closer to 225 during his first career.

    And yeah, second career George was built very much like Ortiz, with one glaring exception...
    Ortiz legs are more like Wilders than Foremans LMAO
