    He kinda threw his arm toward his opponent with his fist clenched and gloved.

    He kept imagining all his opponents were Robyn Givens.

    I meant what exactly in the way he punched made it so that he was one of the hardest hitters ever

    The enormous torque generated from his waist and hips which were also integral to his defense in generating his upper body movement, oh.....and steroids. :yep

    He was good at landing fast combos


    For single shot power, both Klitschkos, Lewis, Foreman, Shavers, Tua, Bowe and some others are ahead of Tyson
