Was tysons power overrated ?.

[hugh grant]

I really think Tyson should have fought someone with a renowned iron chin. Someone like Mercer, or Oliver Mcall etc so they would be in a good position to say how hard he hit. I always wanted to see Mercer v Tyson. But it never happened.
May have went somewhere along the lines of Mercer V Morrsion. But i think Tyson would have beaten Mercer.

Tyson was not a devastating one punch puncher. Many of the guys mentioned previously threw with one punch harder then Tyson. Where Tyson's dominance came from his his electrifying hand speed and powerful combinations. Yeah Holmes was badly hurt ,but if you would bother to go back and watch the fight you would see it was several punches that hurt him and then he tried to punch Tyson and his arm got caught in the ropes which left him in an awkward, completely exposed position and down he went. If Ruddock had Holmes hurt badly and then was able to land the his devastating smash Larry would have been knocked unconscious for several minutes just like Bonecrusher Smith and Dokes had been.

Oh really?

Are we talking about the same boxer?

Try telling that to Michael Spinks and every **** else who Tyson floored before Buster Douglas got his number...

Im not sure...Maybe some of those guys did hit harder.But the combo of speed & power definetly made him more dangerous.

The Old Mongoose has more than double Tysons knockouts! Did u mean KO percentage? even still i dont think its him, sure its Foreman.

Or Vitali Klitschko. Frank Bruno has a very high one too.

Carlos Zarate. Wilfredo Gomez.

Yeah true, I was actually thinking out of the heavyweight champs but then Moore wasnt! Klitschko could well do actually, think i'll check that out.

Tyson is powerful punch yes but is the most powerful punch in boxing no.

IMO Tyson power is abit overrated not much because the Bad Boy image he gives and his opponent makes him look powerful.

the bad boy image and his opponents make him look more powerful . Thats right it was tysons bad boy image that knocked his opponents . You are a muppet.
