Punching Power Debate : Mike Tyson v.s George Foreman

[them_apples]

Foreman had great power, but many times he threw arm punches.


Tyson put his weight into his punches. From watching both fighers, I gotta go with "Iron" Mike.

he threw arm punches to set up big punches. but when george loaded up theres no comparison he hits harder than Mike

[MartialMind]

Power equals speed x mass, Foreman had the mass, Tyson had the speed. Tyson could unleash 3 shots in the time it took Foreman to unload 1.

They unleashed their power in different ways. Would you prefer being run over by a Lambo travelling 120 or a Mack Truck travelling at 70? Both would suck.

- -Joe Frazier said no fighter came close to the way George blasted on him.

That don't solve the question, but I'd just add their was something about Mike that he got out of Dempsey that put fear in the hearts of fighters viewing them from their corners before the first bell, the fear of the unknown.

Foreman being such a big strong guy, they at least knew what they were getting.

Mike would hit you close ranger harder than you should be hit, unprepared. Foreman hits harder though if we are talking raw power. no question. everyone who faced the 2 said so and he wasnt even in his prime.
