      Tyson's punch was amazing but he wasnt fit to be the greatest. As far as power will get you.. it wont get you to the very top. Well its hard to say.. Tyson in his prime used power at its best. Lewis would still have rocked him haha!

        Lewis may have, but Holyfield wouldn't have.

            A 34 year old Holyfield rocked and stopped a 30 year old Tyson, but he wouldn't have phased a "prime" Tyson? Explain.

              The same Buster Douglas that was previously stopped in 2 by David Bey, in 9 by Mike White, and in 10 by Tony Tucker? That was later stopped in 3 by Holyfield and in 1 by Lou Saverese (where he was knocked down 3 times) for cripes sake?

                Tyson had different trainers and was with don King, he had also been to prison.

                If you watch his older fights his corner man would tell him useful information on what he was doing wrong, he threw combos had great foot work and used the jab effectively.

                In Tyson holyfield 2 tyson wasn't getting rocked, but he turned to his instincts and ruined it.

                    I think tyson hit hard as a run away 18 wheeler. They should have him on that one show where they measured **** like this.

                      Any way you slice it, Tyson hit miserably hard. Not only that, he had actual handspeed.

                      Now if only he had heart, ring intelligence, technical skill... boy mighta amounted to somethin.
