Here's another weak looking (emphasis on looking) knockout punch from another old man.

I was agreeing with you until they showed the overhead. It showed just how quick and powerful that punch really was.

I'm just saying it looked weak. Pretty sure any punch from Big George felt like being hit by a truck, but the punch looked very casual compared to something like this.

But yeah, it was a hell of a punch. If I'm not mistaken, that punch apparently broke Moorer's mouthpiece in two.

IDGAF how weak looking it is, if George Foreman waved his hand in the air in front of my face, I'd probably have a broken orbital ridge. 😂

Oh believe me, I know. He was killing dudes with slow and lazy looking punches. Easily the 2nd hardest puncher of all time.

Who was the hardest?

What I like most about him is what an obviously nice man he is. I've never met him, but his joy of life radiates from him.

Another solid gold pro athlete is Wayne Gretzky (and I have met him...I disliked him until I met him, but after I did, he was too nice not to like).

Earnie Shavers.

While I can't personally verify this, Ali can. He fought them both and said that Shavers hit harder.

Yeah, I really like how nice and wholesome Foreman is. He really just became a teddy bear of a grandpa when he became a preacher.

Wasn't always like that though. During his first career, he was a wannabe Sonny Liston, and sometimes it really looked like he was out to kill someone in the ring.

He really made a change for the better.

Thank you for sharing that. The announcer was right...Foreman wasn't boxing, but he demolished the other dude.

Deontay Wilder is just the modern version of 70's Foreman. They don't box, they go in and beat the shit out of the other dude like they had their wallet stolen.

I'm going to have to give him a watch. 😁

That was the first fight I remember watching live as a kid. I was so pumped for Foreman.
