            Well legend has it that Tyson was raised by a She-Wolf when he was younger. He then wrestled Silverback gorillas to increase his strenght and power. He was discovered in the wild by Custamoto who instantly saw Tysons potential and raised Tyson from late adolesence on.

              tyson seemed to use apeed and skill to enhance his power however he did lift weights

              shavers foreman and alot of other boxers used to chop wood or slam a sledgehammer on a tractor tyre to develop power.

                  alot of punching power also comes from technique and getting your feet planted and getting leverage

                    Shavers didnt have to cut trees with sledgehammers to develop power. He could press a remote control for his tv, sitting on the settee and he would still have power. Same with Tyson. Tyson only hit the heavy bag and yeah maybe silver back gorillas.

                      Tyson got alot of his power because Cus D'mato, when Tyson was younger, got him a Heavybag (at like 13 or so) and had him punching that for rounds and rounds....Though I've only read this I don't know how true it is...


                      BESIDES BEING BORN WITH PUNCHING POWER-
                      Alot of punching power comes from leverage, which is why weight plays a factor in punching alot, however you have acceptions. Marciano mastered leverage, which is why he was only around 188 but hit harder then almost all 200+ lb guys...Also Foreman didn't use any leverage at all, he only used arm punches and he was A FREAK...

                      but for the most part you have to be born with punching power..
