Mike Tysons power was hugely overrated

I've never heard that. Cooper hit him with 2 punches that rocked him.. that was it. Tyson was banging on Holyfield who had to reach deep to overcome it.

He definitely had different mindsets between Cooper and Tyson.

 

pretty oblique, my man.

 

Holyfield was knocked down an badly hurt by ruiz an stopped by Toney. Does that mean both Ruiz an Toney also hit harder than Tyson?

 

I'm still working out what I think will match what my feelings were but words are hard sometimes. Especially for me.

 

Every fighter has a bout where he isnt that good.Tyson at his best was a beast and to underrate his power is sheer lunacy

 

OP needs to log off and follow a different sport

 

His power is a overrated, his chin and heart is underrated

 

Yes. But he actually had power that large HWs could feel. Unlike some other renowned champions. Hes just not one of the hardest punchers ever the power was adequate to fight the way he fought.

 

I get the other points and i fully agree, but how is this impressive? not like the fat cushions their chin or anything

 

Tyson didn't hit him much apart from that body/head uppercut in round 5 of their first fight. Had Tyson cut loose on him like Cooper did he would've knocked him out.

 

WTF ? Please name the ''several '' punchers who dropped Larry Holmes ?

 

When Tyson used to flatten opponents with one punch, I always thought ‘he doesn’t hit that hard’ and when an opponent of his was lying down comatose, I always thought ‘he doesn’t look that badly hurt’.

 

Caught Holyfield with a big right in the first seconds of round 1. Holy definitely felt it but recovered well.
