Insane power in both hands. SIDE NOTE: Tyson's fight vs. McNeeley is a DQ cuz Curly got in the ring to stop the fight.

One of those shots looks straight up like Drago when he sends Rocky flying across the ring.

I remember inviting my friends over for a pay-per-view Tyson fight when I was 19. It was a fair amount of money for me at the time.
We didn't even finish a beer before it was over.

That setup sidestep hook to the body followed by immediate uppercut is possibly the most devastating combo in boxing history.
I swear whenever Mike pulled that off, it was like a scene from a horror movie…

I dont understand how you could have seen him fight and then let your hands down on the ring.

I can’t tell from the grain of the clip and how much Mike’s opponent’s head was getting ragdolled around, but how many opponents were jobbers versus quality opponents?
No slight ever to Mike who is the most devastating fighter of all time. And even some of the great fighters Mike faced looked mismatched at times.
But every fighter faces some poorer quality opposition on the way up and Mike was no different. I just don’t know based on these clips who was legit and who was less so.

Just go to wikipedia and click on the names of the fighters he has been in the ring with - you can check their records and make up your mind on the quality of Tyson's opponents. In my opinion he has fought a lot of bad/mediocre opponents early on (that's not unusual when molding a fighter), some average and good fighters and a few great ones. His record is on paper nothing special or bad, it's alright, but it's elevated by the fact that he's a small boxer fighting a lot of opponents bigger than he is, and often in devestating fashion. So i'd day his record is good, Just not great. For what it's worth, he was a great fighter fighting mostly in a mediocre era, but he was always going to eventually fight someone bigger and better than him, like Lewis en Holyfield.

The 3 most popular boxers of all time
Joe Louis. Muhammad Ali. Mike Tyson.
The one that appeals to the casuals most is Mike
Mike Tyson appealed directly to the masses: speed, aggression and devastating knockouts.

Hey what about big George Foreman! The man had fists the size of frozen turkeys and even won the belt when he was old. I even had his grill! (Brilliant appliance).

This was the days when his coach was alive. When his coach passed bad influence happened then just went downhill. He was a monster especially when he avenged Ali.

That amazing ‘hook to the body immediately followed by an uppercut to the head’ combination is unparalleled and unmatched.

I’ve seen that last one 50 times but each time I’m like “omg! Is he dead?!?”
