I know you said he was one of the best, but I thought he underestimated the damage he had already done to opponents, or at least it sounded from what you said as though you felt Tyson already had opponents gone before he laid on the finish. I don't think Tyson did that too often at all, a lot of his knockouts came from hurting people and finishing them almost within one event, or minute or so of boxing. But hey it is not always possible to correctly ascertain empahsis on flat forums, so perhaps your words/the way I read them or a combination of the two ( be it you or me) are a little different from your intention. If you did not mean what I have explained above then, fair enough. If you did mean what I have stated above and the reason for my comment, then we differ slightly in opinion.

And once Tyson had his opponent hurt he would jump in and throw a barrage of punches in order to finish, and he was very good and accurate at it..

Your points are nearly always good and offer validity even if I don't always agree.
I know where you are coming from on this point and mentioned it myself in my last post, I take a slightly differing view of it...not much else.
