Why do a lot of people think tysons power was overrated ? .

If tyson did hit harder than everyone in the division then why do we have *******s like holmes,thomas and berbick saying he didnt hit that hard ? .

cause there asses got floored horribly thats why.ahahahahaa. i would say the same thing. buuuuuuuuuut the evidence proves different.

It has nothing to do with punching power. The usual reason a punch makes a different noise than others is because of the way it is thrown, it does not mean its a harder punch. When Joe Calzaghe punches they sound hard but there slaps. The noise of impact doesn't meassure the power.

but every1 knows tyson doesnt slap. sooooooo that was a really bad comparison.

Because fools only remember Tyson throwing arm punches in his last couple of fights !

Tyson is one of the hardest puncher ever , but time cault up with tyson !

Joe Calzaghes punches do not sound louder than others fighters that bull**** and you know it .

noise of impact dose measure power . For example if i was to hit a bell with piece of iron and it made a loud noise and someone else was to hit the same bell with the same piece of iron and it made a louder noise . Then who do you think would of hit the bell harder ? .

it doesnt apply to every situation, sometimes it is the case but sometimes not

Why do a lot of people think tysons power was overrated . Tyson punches made a bigger **** on impact then any other fighters punches in the heavyweight division in the eighties , noise = amount of impact which = power

because they were. he dominated a weak division of has been and never where's

you clearly no nothing about boxing. devastating punches thrown with great leverage make no noise. loud noises are from slaps. get a clue

because it was. Its was his speed that was devistating. Think about it. The last thing the a fighter loses is his power, and the first thing that goes is his speed. So all those year where mike was KO bums he had Power AND Speed. Now that he is in the latter part of his "Career" he has only his power left. But without the speed, his power does nothing for him. EXAMPLE: Williams, Lewis, Holyfield, Mcbride. With the execption of holyfield, tyson should have easily KO all of the rest.

thats what i dont get ....he never fought anyone so he's not one of the hardest hitters..he may have fought alot of 2nd rate guys but most of them were only ko'd by Tyson ...or he was the 1st to do so
