Tyson could have fought at cruiserweight.

Nah.

 

WHAAAAAH?????? :huh
I guess that's a typo?

 

Ummm..... no.

Tyson was a powerhouse and a lil block of iron at 215-220. He coulda never safely made Cruiser. He was a heavy through and through.

 

With a 19inch neck and 27inch thighs, making 200lbs could only hurt him.

 

Wasn't the cruiserweight limit 190 pounds back then?

 

Good call.

/ thread. :good

 

So Holyfield could just beat him even earlier (and even worse, since Mike would be drained like a pregnant sow's tits at the rooster's crow)?

Interesting proposal, but totally uninteresting.

 

Although he's short, he's too big boned, look at his frame!!

 

Mike Tyson was 190 lbs rock solid and could bench press 250lbs when he was 14...............

 

It would have been ineveitable that Tyson eventually would make the move to HW. At the time the Crusier weight divsion was fairly unknown and with the way Tyson was in his prime the smaller guys wouldn't have had ANY chance...including Qwai and Evander whom were the top Curiser weights at the time. Tyson in his prime was blowing away men FAR larger than himself and it was the men who held size advantages over tyson who had a shot at being that man.

 

Wow, he had some very thick thighs.

 

HAHA... Mike 'Butterbean' Tyson :bbb
