For a stretch of a couple of years, it seemed nearly all of Tyson's fights ended in the 1st round. No surprise that one of them would be record breaking.

A function of Tyson's ability to intimidate, and his
punching power.

But also the opposition that Tyson fought...

It's not that he ducked anyone. He can only fight who they put in
front of him. But you're right about his opponents; I doubt his record
would have been impressive if he fought in the 70s.

I know, right?

Tyson on his way up was an impressive technical
peek-a-boo fighter, well-schooled, obviously very
fit, difficult to hit, and with perhaps _the_ quality
to have in pro boxing, namely crippling
punching power.

Photogenic combinations included the left
hook/uppercut to the body, then immediately uppercut
to the chin with the same hand.

His whole attitude to the fight game was impressive,
the sweet science or "art of fighting" if you will.

I actually tried this in the gym once, in sparring.
My opponent/friend then immediately dived down onto
the canvas. After a prolonged silence he opened his
eyes and asked "Has he gone yet?"
