Mike Tyson<\/a> was one of the most fearsome and dominant heavyweight champions in boxing history. While Tyson might not be the GOAT<\/a>, he's still great at one thing, and that's having powerful punches. Here's a brief look at just how powerful Tyson's punches could be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike Tyson's long history of knockouts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tyson fought in the heavyweight division, so naturally, he had a lot of power in his hands<\/a>. That said, while heavyweights generally are powerful, Tyson had power that few could match. As a result, Tyson claimed 44 wins by knockout out of his 58 total fights. With that said, Tyson did start to get fewer knockouts at the end of his career.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At his peak form in the late '80s<\/a>, though, Tyson held an undefeated record of 37 wins; 33 came by knockout. The early career of many boxers tends to have a lot of easy fights, but Tyson also knocked out a lot of respected heavyweights in his time. For example, Tyson was able to knock out men like Larry Holmes in the fourth round and Michael Spinks in the very first round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
