    no it wasnt. great fighters quit on the stool because he hit with such ferosity and quickness. plenty of fighters got hit harder, obviously, cause they never got hit with tysons best. If tyson was given enough time to wind up and blast a fool in the chin, hed KO everyone. So those other opponents prolly just got hit with a cleaner punch before, or they were just sore losers.

    Tyson was easily the most powerful fighter ever. no contest

          If you feel that Tyson's power was overrated, then stand in front of him and let him punch you. That's what I thought.

            who said the greatest of all time. if thats what u mean by overrated then ok. but in other means if u think his power is overrated your crazy remember speed=power. now brute strength is a different topic

                Yeah, his power was a little overrated. Guys were getting knocked out back then because of the speed and combo punches because they didn't see any of the punches.

                    you mean those guys early in his career? Who had china chins? Seriously, man he did have 1 punch KO power but it is still grossly overrated. I hear some people saying he punched harder then Foreman or Marciano. That's bull****.
