Tyson's strength was good but not great whereas these guys I just named were ridiculously strong for their size.
          yo kid achilles . get this . according to mercer bert cooper was the hardest puncher he faced not tommy morrison and bert cooper knocked out lorenzo candy before tyson did . Candy said tyson was by far the hardest puncher he faced.

                Isnt Bert Cooper the one who knocked down Holyfield. He must have hit hard then, but when it comes to hard punchers his name dont normally crop up. I would think Tyson hit harder than him.

                  Tyson was nartrally strong but with training he became stronger Custmoa made him a KO artist.

                  I know Miranda power coming from the **** that happened in his life he used to work in construction when he was less than 16year old and was all alone in his childhood years.


                  It weird that on the Eastman fight Miranda didnt trash talk and all of a sudden he became a big time trash talker

                    Tyson had great power because he was a born puncher, Its been said punchers are born not made. His normaly Perfect technique didnt hurt either! He usually got his weight rite behind his punches, No arm punches from this man!

                      Also he didnt lift weights untill after Kevin Rooney had gone. I dont think he was particularly strong in the ring anyway!
