    Although Tyson is my top 3 all time in power in the HW diviosion...

    But with the animal instict he had DEVISTATING NO DOUBT!

    Explosive Indeed!..I grew up watchin him..never missed a Tyson fight, he won the title when I was about 11...So ya he was idolized in my house..And ya, good call on him being missed, they just dont make like that anymore, And we will probably never see anything Iron Mike ever again..:good:good:good

    Explosive combo puncher. Punch for punch I would put many guys in front of him. But so exciting,so fast. I wish he was 18 right now.

    Given that he combined his power with blinding handspeed, yes, he's arguably the most devestating of all time. He's definitely on the short list of most devestating.

    Dempsey, Baer, Marciano, Louie, Liston. the list goes on but I am not a boxing historian I just know from what a lot of people say.
