Tyson had one punch KO power but he wasn't a pure slugger until after he got out of prison. At his best the guy was a boxer who set up his KO's. His jab was effective for a guy out-heighted and outweighed every time out. And his body attack was vicious. He was a swarmer who fought in close, but not a volume puncher. Mike used to be very accurate. He was much more of a boxer than people give him credit for.

Tyson was a pressure fighter, in the vein of Jack Dempsey, who used his strength, speed and power to overwhelm you.

The ring of the bell was like someone shouting "Release the Hounds" when Mike was at his best. He would just put the pedal to the metal and there would be carnage.

Unfortunately that's exactly what happened. Had Cus D'Amato not passed away so early in Mike's career, then maybe we wouldn't have seen the career threatening relationship of Mike and King, which ultimately led to his downfall
