Was tysons power overrated ?.

[BKM-]

tyson didnt hit hard enough to knock out tucker, willams, ruddock ,lewis, tillis or mitch green and none of those guys have granite chins.

Tucker had a granite chin. Never took the full 10 count.
Mitch Green had a granite chin. Never stopped in any of his fights.
He had Williams hurt and was about to knock him out untill he twisted his knee.
Tillis was extremely crafty and wasn't that easy to KO in his prime.
Lewis? He never hit him.

speed and the sheer fact that people were afraid of him. he was an intimidator because of what he was capable of and did on a regular basis for a while. davarall williamson, williams, the guy tyson got ko'd by that went on to fight vitaly klitschko...he said that the only person that ever hit him harder was klitschko. and come on, these folks that say someone hit harder than tyson are lying. not saying no one did, but can they hit that much harder than iron mike to tell a difference? i don't think so.

tyson was also well past his prime.

Tyson's punches were not that felt because they don't gradually kill you. They put opponents to the canvass and rattle their brains into thinking something hit them that wasn't a punch.

ahaha. i remember when i sparred this guy,i hit him so hard with a left hook he thought i threw an elbow, he even stopped the sparring and complained to my coach that i threw an elbow and my coach had to correct him,i guess he was still stunned. but yeah i get what your sayin about tyson cause his punches came so fast i bet some ppl didnt know what it was that hit them

[nelsoncm]

Yeah. It was the same sort of punch that Rahman hit Lewis with. Lewis was asking what happened when he got up.

Back in the 80's, I was watching this boxing match between two completely awkward upcomers. The other one was losing and was swinging wildly out of frustration. Then suddenly, ****! The other guy laid on the canvass. A few seconds later, he was being helped to his stool.

Then just when about a minute passed, he shot up from his corner and charged the other guy. When he was stopped, he asked what round was it.

The scene was just funny as hell.

and this is coming from a tyson fan. that made the thread what a trader

[Hitman932]

you can tell that tyson had power by the exorbitant amounts of blood he managed to withdraw from the faces of his opponents. i remember one of his earliest fights against some big dopey white dude he smashed this guys face in and that **** was pourin like a faucet, almost made me sick.

[hemichromis]

tysons punches were so effective because people would just not see them coming whereas foreman knocker people out even though they could have seen them coming same goes for shavers
