Tyson's Talents Are Way Overrated

[butterfly1964]

Tyson's talents are definetely not overrated. I think some people might overrate his power, but that's about it. tyson was a great fighter.

i cant understand how people can dimiss tysons phenominal power . i have seen punch stats of tyson punching at 1450 psi .Foreman 1600 psi . Some of his opponents have said that he dosent hit that hard and it was reckoned that bruno was the hardest puncher in the divsion but tests show that tyson hit harder than bruno and bruno is a massive puncher.

He had heart, but it was nothing compared to Frazier, or Holyfield, or Ali, or Marciano. Therefore he was not complete.

heart is heart. he only showed no heart in like 3 matches compared to over 60

people keep throwing around numbers that are apparently 'punching power' but no one so far has offered ANY evidence to prove it!

well bruno was considered a harder puncher than tyson but tests were done on bruno and tyson and tyson was found to punch harder.

PROVE IT SHOW ME EVIDENCE

[The Noose]

There is no evidence.
People thought Bruno with his size, weight, and muscle probably had heavier punches, which was probably true since in their second fight Bruno weighed almost 2 stone heavier.
But Tyson wasnt a power puncher like Foreman and Shavers, he relied on speed and leverage, plus his timing and combinations were very important to his KOs.

Also Tyson was a great counterpuncher. He knew where and wen to hit an opponent, and needed great technique (somthing he lost later in his career) whereas Foreman or Bruno had power in everything they threw. They had much heavier solid shots.

Hah... you seem to be mistaking losing with Heart. You have to be tested or in trouble to truly show heart. Tyson, in his career only had a handful of opportunities to show hear and he is definately below .500 in those opportunities to show it.

"Could this be the reason why 68% of the population believes that they would only last one minute in the ring with Tyson?"

Amazing how ****** people are.
