    Explosiveness isnt all about power. Tyson himself wasnt a big hw. It was his speed and combinations that were the killer. It's the same way with Pacquiao. Little guy with a lot of speed, great combinations, and throws every punch to KO you.

    No.

    Maybe Prime RJJ. Even then? It was different.

    For all the **** Haye gets he's always been pretty explosive.
