Whatever it was most people don't grow like that.
the young and fresh tyson i grew up with looked fresh faced and didn't look older than said IMO, genetic freak maybe, there were 2 lads i grew up with that were differently built NATURALLY, 2 guys out of 100s. so yes most guys don't grow like that.

The growth i'm talking about happened before Cus got a hold of him.

wasnt tyson quite poor though? and not particularly smart? This access to roids or PEDs to me just doesn't add up. I knew dudes in highschool built just like him.

when i was a kid i was in sports school instead of normal school and we had kids who were like 180 pounds of muscle at 13-14.
Maybe him gaining 90 pounds so fast is an exaggeration, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was 5 9 and 170 -190 or something around 14.

Curious thing about Tyson is when Cus first laid eyes on him as a twelve year old, he was already around 190lbs and 5'9" all muscle.

So how does a poor underprivileged 12 year old get that physique?

A couple years earlier, Tyson, was small little kid that use to get bullied and beating up by older boys, and used to run and hide in wall cavities because he was so scared in getting beaten up.

2 year later, he is mugging old ladies, knocking their teeth out, but only old ladies as he too scared to take on anyone else.

But from 12 to 18 Tyson ony grows an inch and puts on 10lbs.

Doesn't anyone else find this strange?

He supposedly puts on 100 lbs in a few years before puberty, then from 12-18 he only puts on a 10th of that gain, when the rest of the human race put on their size.

And to top it all, Tyson now at the age of 45 is now around 180lbs, 20lbs lighter than he was at 12 years old.

Is there anyone else smaller in there 40s that they were at 12?

Something is not right here, so what is it?

Poll Coming!!!!

u fat fuckin virgin LOL thats the worst case of no life ever seen
shitttttttttttttttttttt

Tyson never did any weights but had a muscular bodybuilders physique.
He did do weights, in fact I remember reading somewhere how he was benching 220 when he was 15 or something like that.

Some people are simply genetic freaks.

Jonah Lomu was 220lbs and winning sprint events when he was 15

No, he was 12 and 190lbs, and by all accounts he small little kid that used to get picked on.

Lomu filled out at 6'5 or so and Lomu was 15 not 12.

If Tyson would have growned to 6'4" an filled out at 240lbs at 20 it would have made sense.

I doubt he was 6'5 when he was 16.

Like I said,some people are simly genetic freaks.

As for his build, all the early photos Ive seen of Tyson in his early or pre teen years shows a chubby kid.

Its probably simply a case of him losing the chub and gaining muscle. He didnt start looking jacked and strong til he was 15/16
