Ah, look what I wrote again, I didnt say he had the most power ever or was the fastest ever but he had everything, he could knock you out with one shot from either hand, he could take big shots from big punchers, he could befuddle skilled boxers with his movement, if you were to put all the best attributes of a fighter together you would get Mike, or to put another way, if you had a list of the best attributes for a fighter to have, im sure Mike woould tick off the most.

Yeah Mike makes his own choices but if King never existed we may have seen Mike stop Holyfields heavy career in its tracks and Lewis may just have been another fighter that Tyson beat, Ifs and buts and all that but Mike was something special for those years he made the heavy division enjoyable.

People loved watching him because he was brutal and skilled, when people watched Holyfield it was to watch him struggle against the bigger men and with Lewis it was with baited breath to see if the next big shot that got through would spark him.
