The thing people remember about him was the savage power but he wasn't just brute force.

granted he had no jab but he actually had very good movement, you couldn't generally find him to hit. Plus with his gloves tucked under the front of his chin if you did manage to hit him it didn't do much damage...then again we didn't know why he held his gloves that way...because if you tapped his chin he'd collapse.
Overall, Tyson was one of the more complete fighters of the heavyweight division. Until he won it all. Then Cus died and all that training went right out the window. And of course Don King got a hold of him.
Tyson could have been a magnificent heavyweight Champ.
