    I look at Tyson putting away huge guys and then I look at Earnies KO highlights and they arnt anywhere near as impressive as in he didnt put away many big guys like Tyson did.

    I dont really know though thats my uneducated guess, what do you think?
    How can we measure it?? Im not so sure. I doubt he hit's harder than some of todays SHW's! A lot of mythology surounds the fighters of yesteryear.
    Bruno had his measured on a machine.

    I'll try and fight that article about it.
