Prisoners,
You are absolutely correct.
" The shock of being hit..."
I trained and taught Karate for 14 years, so I know a little about getting hit, and hitting.
But when I was younger, I only knew how to "street fight ".

When I met my girlfriend's ( now my wife) Uncle , I found out what a boxer could do.

Her Uncle was a Professional Boxer in the late 1930's. He had to stop because of injuries he suffered in WW 2. He was a personal friend of Jack Dempsey, he always chersished the signed picture he had.
When I met him, I think he was around 60. I was 5'7, 150 lbs at the time, in great shape, as I was a delivery truck driver in New York City.
Fooling around one evening,at my girlfriends house, he was showing me the proper way to punch.
I think he fought as a lightweight. His name was Nicky Gerard, and I believe he was rated pretty high, until he got hurt.
Anyway, he hit me with a punch, so hard, so direct, that I remember it to this day. No one, No one, ever hit that hard. Good thing he hit me in the upper chest, as he didn't want to hurt me.
I can't imagine the damage Tyson would do.
