Tyson's lack of range devalued his speed. Tyson's reach was 71" (Tua's was 70") but Tyson still couldn't and wouldn't throw anything but inside punches. The heavyweight division is a tall-man's division, and any short boxers who had success against real heavyweights had to throw outside punches, like Holyfield, Frazier, Dempsey, etc.
