    "As a child he weighed around 200 pounds by the time he was 13 which is classed as borderline obese."

    Fat people tend to have fat faces.

    His head doesn't look fat in the slightest.

    So yes, I can assume he wasn't fat.

    You can't guarantee anything , and you've no photographic proof to back up your claim that Tyson was fat before he boxed. Since we can see on film that he was in very good condition as early as the age of 14, your argument is disproved ,unless you have footage of him in diapers you want to share with us? Just let it go Mate.

    So was Tyson lying then when he said he was a fat kid at school? Last I knew school kids didn't go to school in diapers....

    We had video footage of him at 15 so how does that disprove that he was a little fatty at 12 or 13??

    I see how you conveniently ignore my main point yet again, a sure sign of ownage.

    A lot of assuming there, can you confirm how old he was on that pic??? Guess not...

    Wasn't really referring to the candidate's differing positions regarding America's place within the delicate ideological plate tectonics of the current geo-political terrain, more that his jokes are lame...

    Peter Heller's bio of Tyson includes the following taken from Tyson's time in Tryon Correctional Facility.This was early 1979 Tyson first boxed with Bobby Stewart that year.Stewart was an employee there. Stewart had won the 1974 Golden Gloves at Light Heavyweight, beating Mike Dokes. Tyson is described as 5'8"tall 190lbs of muscle, he was 13 years old.
    At the end of that year Tyson bench pressed 250pounds ten times. Stewart took Tyson to the Catskill Gym where the 27 years old Stewart then scaling about 180lbs sparred with the 13 years old who outweighed him by around 30lbs. This was to be witnessed by Cus D'Amato. Teddy Atlas was in Tyson's corner, he stopped the spar after one round despite Tyson's protests.Stewart confided in D'Amato he thought his ribs were breaking in that three minutes of sparring.Tyson was not yet 14 years old.
    Its a good thing you say you have a big punch , because you sure have some issues interacting with others. You lost the argument with posters a trivial argument it was too, and now you're embarrassing yourself Wass.

    I haven't got issues at all, how can I lose an argument when the only video footage we have of him is when he was fighting? A young kid will lose fat extremely quickly once a training regime is started. Can you answer my question please? Was Tyson lying about being a bullied fat kid at school? Yes or no?
