Tyson's Punch Questionable?

[Pugnacious_Z]

after the tyson fight, didnt williams say hes never been hit dat hard, dats wat i heard. he said its like a shock being hit by tyson, u cant get prepared for it, its the hardest punch ive taken.

[JUYJUY]

Williams is just pissed because Mike called him a journeyman a while after their fight.

[elveiel]

Yes but when Williams fought Tyson he was already pretty old and lost a lot of handspeed...

I agree that he'd lost a bit of the power and speed but Potters a low level fighter without a great record of KOing fighters.

It at least proves that Tyson should have retired a long time ago then.

[Truth]

I don't think there is should be anyone question about Mike's power.

[The Devil]

i was wondering if any1 has heard any fighter who has fought tyson say dat sum1 hit harder then tyson?

Larry Holmes said Tyson hit "almost as hard as Acorn" meaning Ernie Shavers. In his book he says when Tyson hits you you lose all your senses but you know where you are and just cant get up. When Ernie Shavers hit you, all of a sudden your on the ground and you feel a strange numbness.

If Tyson were 6'5 245...his power would kill boxers in the ring..but since he was.. 5'10 225 or whatever..he didnt hit has hard as..Shaver, Foreman..etc...but.u can say if he were bigger..he wouldnt be as fast..and maybe not as accurate.

Tyson's speed/power combination is unmatched by any other Heavyweight.

Trust me, I know....I sort of have Tyson-like power.

Both a younger George Foreman and Earnie Shavers weighed in the vicinity of what Tyson weighed during his prime (give or take a few pounds either way...Foreman's average weight was a little bit more, whereas Shavers' average weight was a little bit less than Tyson's), so I don't exactly know where you're going with that statement of "what if" Tyson was bigger.

exactly wat i was thinkg yogi. and by the way, larry holmes has lost it, he said butterbean hit harder then shavers and tyson, maybe coz he was 53yrs old wen he fought butterbean, dat cud be a reason, LOOOOOOOOOOL
