Tyson was scared to fight Foreman! - A MUST READ!

[gyrokai]

mate how can you say Tyson doesnt punch hard? he is in the top 3 heavys of all time for his one punch take out, you try to name 3 heavyweights that punched harder than tyson..

I didn't say Tyson wasn't powerful, just that he and Foreman's power were different.

Let me explain:

Now here's where people don't know much about boxing. Power is different for just about every boxer.

Foreman was overall the most powerful boxer ever to enter the ring. Tyson was the most explosive fighter to enter the ring. Explosiveness relies on speed, while Foreman's power relied on his god given power. The fact that Tyson could no longer KO opponents early in his late career was because he lost the speed of his youth, therefore losing his explosive power, WHILE Foreman couldn't KO them early either, but he could still end it before the 12th with quality opposition even when he was Forty-Five years old.

Sad click me or whatever, but if you listen to me, you'll learn. I didn't learn this myself either.

yea true well said tyson had good technique and explosive speed which made his punches powerful and like you said foreman didnt have that he relied on his power and i wont give you sad click but ill give you cool click

Thanks man. Yeah, it's good that you added technique. Every time I imagine a Tyson Uppercut I think of the most natural and beautifully executed uppercut ever to happen inside the ring. cc back.
