Foreman also has a present from his Maker-sheer strength-and it would seem to give him an overwhelming advantage next week. At 25, Foreman is at his powerful peak. With legs as thick as railroad ties and arms that resemble oak limbs, the 6-ft. 3-in., 225-lb. (fighting weight) Foreman is the most feared puncher since Sonny Listen.
