    Tyson's power came from his blazing fast hands.

    Which often resulted in quick knockouts. But Sanders was more likely to do it because he was also a southpaw. And towards the end of his career he tended to walk guys into his shots.

    the guy hit very hard and had fast hands, you just don't like him for some reason,,,

    Sanders also was a hammer head outside the ring and didn't take his career as seriously as some which was a big reason why he was a lackluster performer at times imo.

    I personally never liked him or followed him much but its stupid to say the guy never hit hard, yeah ok if guys are saying he was the hardest hitter EVER than yeah I agree with you but not too many are saying that imo.

    I have nothing but respect for sanders. Blasted out wlad. Knocked Vitali down, probably would have stopped him if he even bothered to train. Just saying his power is overrated by klit fans

    Maybe vitalis chin is overrated also. His dancing skills are not however. If you put a white suit on him in that fight I would of swore John Travalta was fighting Corrie.
     
  7. Sanders never knocked down vitali

    I'm with you on this. The best chin doesn't get hit. To tall for most guys to land on properly and frequently enough to make an impact.

    About Corrie Sanders, I think his power is somehow overrated, but people forget about his exceptional timing - the real key behind his success.

    He had great power and great speed. Where he was badly lacking, however, was in terms of skills, stamina, and durability. But his power and hand speed were excellent.

    Speed and timing, not just timing.

    Lethal left hand. Not over rated.

    Yes, speed also. But his timing alone made the trick. Tyson Fury also has fast hands but not the same accuracy and timing as Sanders. He had a great eye and knew exactly when to pull the trigger.
