tyson most likely was post prison, i'd give him the benifit of the doubt before then. He certainley had heart though, maybe others had more but that don't mean he didn't have any.
I would bet money that his reference to drugs being false-negged via that method were 100% of the recreational and not performance-enhancing variety.
Tyson is a liar and master manipulator, of course he'd admit to recreational drugs to try and give an excuse for his losses or bad performances, no way in hell would he admit to taking PED's, he's not that stupid.
Pure bull**** again, Tyson wasn't a solid 190lb at 12 years old. I've just done a little research on Tinkerbell Tyson. Tyson weighed in at 198lb aged 17 in his first amateur bout against Henry Tillman, fast forward 10 month later in his first pro bout against Hector Mercedes and he weighs in at a whopping 214lb of solid muscle, I smell a rat don't you...... Me thinks Iron Mike was being fed special vitamins by his crew...
so how many fights was Tyson losing? and have you not see the Mathis and Botha fights, where he was being outboxed until he found the ko? So if Tyson was like Tua, plodding behind on the scorecards and then found a ko you'd give him more credit?
at 6:46 mark is your truth! atlas states tyson was a solid 190lb at 12 yrs old! -- http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=153886861&page=1 --- i believe atlas more than you!
Did you just say Cus d amato was not a great trainer he was perfect fit for tysons tyle him and kevin rooney plus watch tysons fights with Rooney he talks about tyson punching in the clinch tyson 86-88 is a ATG great fighter that few would beat through history. Cus was one the greatest trainers of all time He guided floyd patterson to light heavy and heavyweight title A ATG light heavy. He also trained jose torres to the light heavyweight title Crafted Mike tyson one the greatest heavyweight of all time Invented the Peek a boo style A style that tyson abandoned post rooney. Taught Teddy Atlas how to be a trainer say what you want about Atlas he is a good trainer knows boxing inside and out. Cus also helped Ali for the foreman fight. Kevin Rooney not the words greatest trainer but for Tysons style he was a perfect fit tysons body mindset everything was perfect for the D amato style of Boxing. Not to many people can say they helped build two Heavyweight champions from the ground up.
He was a fat little ****er at 12 years old, come on funny how you ignored my other points, putting on over 16lb of solid muscle in 10 month....
funny how you ignore atlas(a man who actually met him!) who said "solid" you moron! 190lb solid at age 12 proves to anyone who knows about muscles building,that he had awesome genes for muscle mass,no steroids needed.HE ALSO(AT 12) BENCH PRESSED 250LB THE FIRST TIME HE TRIED! THAT PROVES HIS AWESOME STRENGTH CAME NATURALLY AS WELL.
by the way,if you have great genetics (like mike)that much solid weight gain is totally possible naturally.
Yeah thought that would be the answer, so according to you from aged 12 to 17 he only put on 8lb of muscle yet in 10 months time from 17 to 18 he put on 16lb of muscle, them vitamins must have been strong.....:rofl:rofl
Pity Asser as apparanytley blocked me, I can understand though he doesn't like taking a beating just like his hero Tyson..:
