    People question Tyson heart should really reconsider. You don't become a undisputed Heavyweight champion without having a heart. He came from the gutter and became one of the most recognised people on this planet.

    I agree Tyson had heart.

    The 3 uppercuts he took from Lewis in round 1 felled a lot of men on the spot just taking one.

    But Mike was still battling away 8 rounds later. And that was a washed up Mike whose heart had left the game many years prior.

    You don't take a single handed beating from Lewis left jab, upper cuts, right hands a total of 168 power shots for almost 9 whole rounds without being tough. The fact that the narcissist Lewis acknowledged the guy can take a heck of a punch tells everything

    I'll give Tyson that he had heart on occasions yet it was sporadic, he's nowhere near at the top of the league for fighters with heart.

    don't forget you fool from age 12 to 17 he grew at least 2 inches! 5'8"-5'10" each inch of height is about 7lbs! That would take him from 190lb to 204lb without gaining muscle or fat! Don't argue with me on muscle growth i have yrs of experience.

    No it's you who looks a fool, so from 12 to 17 he only gains about 8lb of muscle yet in 10 months from 17 to 18 he gains about 16lb of muscle??? It looks like you know lots about muscle growth.... :nut:nut:nut

    Like you said, Tyson had great genetics..... :rofl:rofl:rofl

    Tyson chose to get KTFO rather than quit on his stool against Lewis.

    His heart should not be brought into question.

    Its just a cliche parroted within the hater herd. Same as he struggled with big men , even tho he beat them all by large... Say a lie long enough and it becomes a truth.

    No he was crying like a girl but his corner were like "Mike stop being a ***** and fight this glass jawed Brit!!" Mike was crying "no, no I can't"

    Another thing about Tyson, I've never heard a fighter cry and scream so much when cut, it's a pathetic site to see from the so called worlds baddest man. :rofl:rofl:rofl

    It is pretty well known that as opposed to walking around heavier, and having to cut weight for when they enter the ring like most fighters, Holyfield was the opposite. He actually put on weight during his preparation for fights. Now I don't profess to know everything like some folks, but it seems pretty obvious to me that if the powers that be thought that he was doing this continually with the help of PED's they would have ordered stringent testing to be carried out on the guy.

    i do not profess to "know everything" but i have been and involved with weightlifters,powerlifters and bodybuilders for over 30 yrs and the natural and unnatural supplements used by them.first what makes you think the "powers that be" really care? since when has pro boxing been the bastion of morality and fair gamesmanship? one last time, someone with a rapid metabolism could never achieve that mass while training so vigorously doing boxing(aerobic) training without some "help" mr Olympia franco columbu(1976 and 1981) was a boxer in Italy before he started bodybuilding and like holyfield had a very fast metabolism and did not start making muscular gains till he stopped his boxing workouts.

    are you ****ing stupid or what? i never said he gained anything i said from age 12 to becoming a teen he gained 14lb from a HEIGHT GAIN! that is 204lb so he may have gained 10 pounds for his pro debut,making him 214lb.

    I'm not even remotely interested in how many power lifters, shirt lifters, or any other kind of lifters you know or don't know, not even shop lifters.

    What I do know is that Holy's walk around weight was around 200lbs, and he had to bulk up to fight at Heavy to be competitive. Again I don't give a toss about fast or slow matabolisms either. As for boxing being the last bastion of morality, that is neither here or there. For the kind of money that he was fighting for NO boxing commission would knowingly turn a blind eye if they either KNEW or HIGHLY SUSPECTED he was juicing.

    By the way have you ever researched a guy called Mackie Shilstone? You might like to try it, apparently he bulks up athletes / fighters to give them added strength / power, and he isn't accused of giving them " help " as you put it.
