Was tysons power overrated ?.

[hugh grant]

I am sure if u asked Tyson who out of his opponents he had fought who hit harder than himself he might be able to pick a few.

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.

I am sure if u asked Tyson who out of his opponents he had fought who hit harder than himself he might be able to pick a few.

how could tyson possibly know . unless tyson was somehow able to hit himself with full power . which he couldnt.

And how are we supposed to know how hard Tyson punches without taking them ourselves. We all know Tyson hit hard, and we all think that he was in history one of the harder hitters.
But Tyson has been on the receiving end of people who hit hard and i am sure he has an opinion of whether he thinks Lennox Lewis, or Razor Ruddock etc hit harder than himself.

Yes. It was overrated by everyone who was NOT knocked ******ed by him.

This was an ok topic ruined by several ****** points being made.

As if talking about other boxers having more KO's , A better KO percentage, A harder punch....etc..

Has anything to do with Tysons power.

Look at the record books, thats all you have to do. Does he have a lot of KO's or not?

Well....ummm....yes he does. So there you have it.

tysons power was not overrated . A journalist who was in tysons camp in 1986 saw tyson dislodge a heavy bag from the ceeling . shavers and foreman never did that .

This is why I love catskills. Not only does he ask a question... a thousand times but then he responds to his own question and why your answer is wrong... a thousand times.
