Was tysons power overrated?.

Is Tyson's power overrated according to who? If you're talking about the outrageous Tysonettes (those who worship the man for his blatant hostility), then he is absolutely overrated. If you're talking about boxing historians, objective insiders, and reasonable knowledgable fans, then it's about right....that being that Tyson was a smallish heavyweight that was very aggressive and possessed impressive knockout power. I have no problem with this assessment. But for those that say Tyson was the hardest puncher in the history of the sport, I've got a one word response....bull****.

His power was overrated without a doubt. His fanbase reminds me of that with Miranda's. I dunno, I guess it's because of his KO power, yet when he doesn't KO his opponet, he get's KOed. Nah but really, I believe his power was overrated and he did fight a lot of bums. It's like saying, only Tyson could of KOed those opponents he did. Are you saying Lennox couldn't? Foreman couldn't? Or just about any of the other big heavies we have today? Wlad-Vitali-Peters?

true! his speed and hunter-killer mentality just made him phennominal against journeymen
