He really didn't, man. He had terrific hand speed but he never had the power he was credited with. George Foreman could pick you up off the ground with an uppercut. Tyson's hand speed caused him to hit some flush shots that put guys on their asses, but he didn't have the really elite heavyweight power. In read an interview with Donovan "Razor" Ruddock where he stated Tommy Morrison hit him ten times harder than any shot Tyson hit him with, and Ruddock had a glass jaw. Read Burt Sugar's book and it will give you a lot of insight on Tyson's power...
