That was sad to watch Cooney laying there for that long, looked like he was dead there, Foreman never lost his killer instinct, as soon he realized Cooney was in trouble he went for the kill.
@huntersingle I'd say Foreman was both a bruiser and a skilled fighter, only his skill level as a technical boxer was not equal to that of Ali or Jimmy Young. If you watch old tapes of Foreman fights you'll see that he had very fast hands for a guy his size and he landed a high percentage of his punches. And when you're a bruiser with the power Foreman had, that's all you really need to win.
@huntersingle No fighter is invincible, including Marciano and mayweather for example. So you look at what styles would trouble a brawler like marciano. for example, dropped against moore and walcott.so maybe heavy hitter like tyson or foreman or nearly outboxed by walcott and couldn't take out charles in 1st fight so maybe out fighter like holmes,ali or lewis/vitali
Foreman said Cooney was the hardest puncher he ever fought, Ron Lyle and Cleveland Williams comes next. Though Foreman never fought Williams, but Foreman sparred Williams before so he know.
@tw69hands2 you are just a hater, too slow ha, double left hooks killed kid mathews, one sizzling right hand to walcot and lane, he did look slow against moore and thats why he called it quits. i like frazier too but if joe couldnt keep quarry down how in the hell could he keep rocky down without getting slammed i dissagree frazier comes in winging bobbing adn missing alot but rocky would be hard to hit, too slow you're crazy, how can a slow punch almost be-head someone get outta here
george had a brilliant career and was a hard slugger but boy was obvious and had a bad boxing technique.watched the ali fight earlier,he was terrible
