That’s why he is the most asked who hits the hardest because if someone hit him hard as he hits them and others than u gotta believe they have power to be honest I think the best chins in boxing are even better to ask this question than the heavy punchers tho yet foreman has both his chin is one of the best
@@ascendancy4900 He hadn’t been consistently hit over the course of his career. Granted it really only takes 1 match, or even 1 punch to seriously damage someone, but Foreman was a very big and solid man with a big neck. His punch absorption was insane.
@@KingJachaiyeah, but honestly, I would expect him to at least slur a little after the fight with evander. George really is a brick, both in his punches and damage soak.
After Muhammad, George was depressed and angry. It was later he had a spiritual experience that changed him and made him a different person who could reconcile and befriend Muhammad.
When I was bartending in Denver, I befriended Wild Bill Hardney. He said Shavers could cave your chest in. He sparred Foreman and Lyle. But Shavers was the most terrifying for his money
Think I like with George is people say he’s the hardest hitter but he always down plays the guy said thank god I didn’t fight shavers how much more humble can you be
Earnie Shavers visited us in Prison in Fl. He was so humble and genuine. He told us that the real boxers have to be able to take a hit in order to set up their big one. If we can’t take a hit, we have no future boxing. Solid life advice outside of boxing
A great advise for all of us. We must be strong enough to recieve the great blows of life without getting KO...until we had the chance to fight back and win the fight of life by the right way. My best wishes to you.
@The-Pugilist True, but George was not out cold. George actually got up, but the ref didn't want the fight to continue. Neither did George though cause tbh at that time he had no more stamina. Ali beat him with stamina and smarts.
I knew the chef for Mohammad Ali years ago. He told me George either called every couple of days or flew in to spend time with Ali. He said he was the kindest loving man you'd ever meet. He said Ali would smile when he saw him.
Most people only see it on tv and that doesn’t even come close to what seeing in person is like never mind getting hit by one. If you want to get an idea by seeing then go to a boxing gym and stand near a heavy bag while some 250lb legit boxer is working it… even if they aint a true puncher it’ll be an eye opening experience for sure.
What’s funny is how a punch is portrayed on TV and in shows - they always show someone flying backwards etc.😂 Truth is, a truly HARD PUNCH is like a bell being rung: it stays still, but is vibrating . The human body is mostly water - so when it’s struck suddenly with power, there’s a shock wave running throughout the body- like Foreman says “you feel it all the way down to your toes”
Ooh yea eazliy. Two time heavyweight champion and I believe 15 or 20 years separated his titles. That'll never ever be accomplished by a pugalist again. TRUTH FACTS
@@MikeSmith-cn6ub ABSOLUTE FACTS. Foreman might be the GOAT, fighting multiple challengers in a night, and the way he destroyed virtually everyone he ever fought.
Yeah! Cleveland Williams was one bad man, unknown to even most boxing fans. He had two action packed bouts with Sonny Liston. Toe to toe, non-stop slugging from Liston and Williams. Glad to know I'm not the only "long time" fan....
George Forman has been hit by the hardest punching boxers in the world. Wow and can still answer a question articulately. What a athlete. Freak of nature.
I knew Earnie Shavers from the gyms in the Akron Canton area and had a chance to spar with Earnie. Earnie was only arm punching us with an open glove and when he hit you you got that sinking feeling and you felt it in your toes. It was the hardest I was ever hit by any fighter I was in the ring with.
But you 100% right Because Muhammad Ali struggled with Joe Fraizer and Ken Norton George Foreman destroyed Joe Fraizer and Ken Norton People thought George Foreman would kill Muhammad Ali But Muhammad Ali beat George Foreman
@@StoneCold2k57 yea, but Ron almost had Foreman knocked out there. Foreman genuinely looked like a dead man being pulled up by strings after that one knockdown. If it wasn’t for his heart, he would’ve been out.
I remember wen George was an HBO boxing commentator and he was always on the money with his comments George knows boxing and he’s always telling the truth
I feel that cleveland williams never got the respect he deserves, he went through so much pain and set backs just to get up and keep fighting, is sad to see his fight with Ali to be what he's remember for but he was a truly great fighter and could punch like a mule, much respect for the big cat they call Cleveland Williams 👏
Considering Cleveland Williams was shot in the stomach by a magnum, it's a wonder he even fought at all after that incident. He was past his prime when he fought Ali.
I want to thank George Foreman for his Foreman Grill. I've owned several throughout my lifetime and they have always been a source of convenience and efficiency.
Brotha ,he turned his life over to God before retiring from boxing the 1st time. God bless him ,his family members and all his friends in Jesus mighty name I do pray Amen!!!😇
Can't help but love big George Foreman! So gracious to everyone. He wouldn't put himself at the top of that list, but that's where everyone else would/should put him. 🥊
Every fighter has said the same about those people. One other included, George Forman. Ali rope adoped him and Ali stated he thought several times he thought George was going to make him go down from body shots alone.
It was that fight they were speculating where Ali 1st suffered his brain injury. In the clinch Shavers kept hitting Ali in the back of the head. I wish he never fought him 👍🙏
@@mikewhite6288 yes mate, to many unfortunately. Ali said he was the hardest puncher he faced as did many others. Some boxers hit you so hard it jolts the whole body. Imagine a Liver Shot from Ernie, l would take it on the chin any day, but only if l had to choose 👍
Love George ! Met Ernie Shaffer when I was young when he lived in Braceville Ohio ! What a nice man he was ! He was training and jogged down the road . He stopped and talked to us out of the blue . He had change in his pocket and gave it to us . I will never forget that .

George Foreman would surely have to have been one of the hardest-hitting heavyweight boxers in professional boxing. And he's a genuinely humble and modest man. He's a good bloke.

I have straight up grown to love Mr. Foreman, not just his Meineke papa bear form but back to a time when he was the most feared man alive. He has always been thoughtful, fair, honest and a soft-but-well spoken gentleman. We are lucky to still be graced by his noble presence to this day.
Cleveland Williams is from my hometown and he would come and pick up my Uncle and Auntie and they would go out on the town great man gone but not forgotten...
wow im interested to hear more about this what year was this and how was williams like in person i make videos about cleveland williams and research him alot because hes one of the greatest heavyweights ever
This guy was a god gifted talent. The dents he used to leave in them heavy bags demonstrates how hard he used to hit. Everyone feared this man in his era. Even the great Ali avoided a rematch with him.
@@markgonzalez4199 not so much his chin but his life kinda fell apart after the holms fight, alcohol and depression hit him hard and he declined fast, his will to fight was gone
I think it was mainly Cooney’s left hook. Truly a savage punch, he could put you down with a badly shot. George was tough enough to take it, but man enough to admit that it hurt like hell
Man we have to give more credit to Ron lyle He started boxing late and turned professional at 30 4 years later he fought against Ali and was 10 rounds ahead on the leaderboards Had a brutal fight with Foreman And knocked out Earnie Shavers
The Foreman/Lyle fight is the biggest slug-fest I've ever seen. Foreman couldn't even lift his arms to defend himself in the final round, only to throw punches. Foreman fights are like fights you see in Rocky films. The Frazier fights, the winning the title at 45, the going the distance with Holyfield at 42 and losing but smiling at the end because he knew he'd done the impossible just to go the distance and get the opportunity at age 42 after not fighting for a decade.
It really suprised me that he said that about cooney. But when I went back and watched that fight. I watched closely and after cooney would land a punch, you could really see the wince on foreman’s face.
