What made Foreman hit like a truck?

[db03892]

Foreman had a unique punching style. Unlike to other boxers, George planted his feet and punched with mostly his arms and upper body; yet was one of the greatest punchers.
How does he get his power in punches? Is it natural or does he do something particular?

He did some crazy training like carrying cows,pulling cars and chopping wood.

Also he has the best genetics a heavyweight boxer could have

Could you post a video. Not that I'm trying to be any more contrary than usual, but I'm pretty sure he put his hips into everything.

It's natural heavy hands. not everybody could punch hard, he just had that talent and gift.

Years ago there was a boxing site where you could chat with pro boxers and ask them questions. I asked Evander Holyfield who of his opponents hits the hardest. He said George Foreman.

So an " old " George Foreman hits harder than a young Mike Tyson, because Evander Holyfield has fought them both.

Then I emailed George Foreman website and asked him what the best way is to improving punching power and he said chopping wood.

I think George Foreman hits so hard, because of his natural power and of course his boxing training and his strenght/condition training.

Friend of mine (Puerto Rican Boxer) always talked about how, "you gotta do pushups. Back exercises" yada yada yada. "But not George Foreman. George Foreman choppeddda woooood."

I'd say that's it. Chop a lot of wood.

Now if the key to increase punch power is chopping wood..........goddamn i'm gonna make a mince out of my garden. Fuck trees, i need my hands of stone.

Nah , he didn't put as much hip into it like a Julian Jackson or a Mike Tyson .....or even the average boxer.

When ppl ask me how hard George Foreman hit , I just say that he hit so hard that when he was 50 years old he one punch KOed the heavyweight champion of the world.
That usually ends the discussion.
