    Mike Tyson was able to KO elite fighters at the age of 15. That just shows how genetically gifted Mike Tyson was. Even though he trained hard the saying "fighters are born, not made" is the truth. Genetics can beat hard work.

    You can't teach that speed and power. Its genetics.

    I dont doubt it. Tyson in his teen years was a specimen, someone who you looked at in school and wanted to be your friend. A very intimidating youngster in his youth.

    It wasn't around then like it is today. You have to administer it a specific way. Besides, Teddy Atlas would have mentioned it.

    Other PEDS were though.

    No one. Not elite fighters.
    But Mike became champion at age of 20. That record never be broken.

    Does anyone agree that Mike Tyson is the greatest PHYSICAL fighter ever?

    Who has ever combined speed, power and maybe even skill together as well as him?

    He may not be on the same IQ level as other fighters, and he may have been one dimensional, but he's the best physical boxer ever.
