    in the last round, the finish was impressive I've never seen another heavyweight throw a combination like that

    Quick reminder: 7:10 onwards

    This is actually my favourite Tyson KO. That finishing combo was awesome in its ferocity and power.

    Great KO but not his best IMO...His KO of Marvis Frazier was pure destruction...

    I thought it was a great combo especially the final uppercut followed by a lightning left hook that thomas never saw which then set up the final hooks,but what a chin thomas has man,took many many power shots to put him down. Did he have any broken bones in his face after that ??. A great reportoire of punching from Tyson as well from different angles. I dont know much about thomas or what condition he was in,peak or past peak so that could of made tyson look better as a side note.

    Probably my favorite Tyson combo of all time. This was back when top heavies actually used to throw punches in combination

    And while we're on the subject, a couple of my favorite combo's from recent heavyweight champs are;

    Evander Holyfield - George Foreman where Evander hurt big George and unleashed something like a 16 punch unanswered combination.

    Lennox Lewis - Francois Botha where Lewis finished Botha off with a tremendously powerful combination that sent Botha ass up through the ropes.

    Vitali has a higher KO percentage, therefore Klitschko > Tyson

    Might aswell have thrown combinations on a heavybag, Pinklon showed NO headmovement or any signs of wanting to get out of the way of Tysons punches.

    Tyson was throwing combinations like a lightweight (with HW power ofcourse). I don't think that was even his best combination.

    Here are some more:

    How the hw division has fallen: we now have to beg champions to throw combinations :(

    That's typical of big men in the heavyweight division. When you get inside their footwork and jab, they don't duck to get out the way, and you blocked their movement, so where they gonna move?

    You ever seen Wlad duck a punch? No, he just uses his footwork and jab to get out of the way. Against, Tyson though...well...

    Let's just say Tyson is a nightmare matchup.
