That's a common misconception of Tyson. While he had power, he never had the one punch KTFO power of a George Foreman. Early in his career he amassed that string of KO's by putting suffocating pressure on his opponents and throwing combinations until his opponent wilted under the onslaught. People remember the KO's, but they don't remember that is was the pressure, and not the one punch KO power that caused them. That is why the later, less motivated Tyson was so bad. People no longer feared him, and he no longer trained to keep up that onslaught on his opponents. He would throw some hard punches, and they wouldn't be enough to put anyone down, after which he would just quit...
