At 13 tyson was 5'8 180 pounds of muscle. He is natural no doubt. I am 5'5 175 with a 30 inch waist and people would think I am on steroids. My father is muscular a svelt. My uncle is extremly thickly muscled. My great grand father had an old dumbell I found that is 50 pound he used to press overhead in his seventies. It is genetics.

You guys are getting off the topic. Point is Holyfield is a major roid head, growth hormone and probably a few other things as well. Its despicable that he has been able to get away with it for so many years. Look at his build in the first Qawi fight and then the dramatic change in his jawline and forehead just 1 1/2 years later when he was simply too big and strong for Qawi. First fight Holyfield hit Qawi with about 1 million punches and they never hurt Dwight. 2nd fight Holyfields punches were killing him. Nevermind this change in physique, but look at his face and head. Furthermore, he now weighs 20 or 30 pounds more with no fat. Its ridiculous! Finally, he was trained by Lee Haney. Case Closed! LOL
Absolutely Tyson's power was overrated
Tyson was not a devastating one punch puncher. Many of the guys mentioned previously threw with one punch harder then Tyson. Where Tyson's dominance came from his his electrifying hand speed and powerful combinations. Yeah Holmes was badly hurt ,but if you would bother to go back and watch the fight you would see it was several punches that hurt him and then he tried to punch Tyson and his arm got caught in the ropes which left him in an awkward, completely exposed position and down he went. If Ruddock had Holmes hurt badly and then was able to land the his devastating smash Larry would have been knocked unconscious for several minutes just like Bonecrusher Smith and Dokes had been.
Exhausted Tyson defeated by brutal KO
Tua has more devastating one punch power and he is physically stronger. Tyson of course is quicker and more skilled. Both have outstanding (incredible) chins. However, Tua early in his career displayed great stamina while Tyson always became arm weary and tired once his fights went past 5 or 6 rounds. Therefore, the bout most likely is a brutal war as neither man is going to dance away and if it goes beyond the middle rounds Tyson suffers a brutal knockout after becoming exhausted and defenseless.
One Punch Power Tyson isn't the man
Because I have only heard racist people say things like that about someone they have NEVER met.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The biggest punchers of that era meaning biggest 'one punch' and not combination power would have been Bonecrusher Smith and Razor Ruddock. Guys who would put literally put you to sleep with one punch. More recently Lewis and Tua come to mind. Tyson never had devastating one punch power.
This is potentially great news for Tyson. Now maybe he can get
cleaned up for the first time in many years and get his life together. Why don't y'all say some prayers for him too.
Morrison vs Liddell
Morrison is such a devasting and I emphasize the word "devastating" puncher that fighting him with those light mitts on would be very dangerous. If Tommy lands clean with one of those left hooks someone may be very seriously injured and perhaps killed. I am not now a fan or was I ever a fan of Morrison but the man had frightening power in that left hook.
