The way he flattened Holmes is proof of his power, technique, skill, whatever. When an older Holmes can extend, beat and give a hard fight to Holyfield, Mercer and McCall and take all their best comfortably, it just goes to show what Tyson had. Whether it be quicker punches or better skill to get inside or bigger power altogether.
