15 year old Mike Tyson was able to KO elite fighters?

He didn't KO any elite fighters at 15.
He was incredible at 15 but he didn't KO any elite fighters.

 

I think so

 

You are very sensible to show why Tyson did not take or was not given HGH. And of course specific evidence is needed to rationally & fairly believe someone is guilty of anything.
So why do you say he was given PEDs?
Anything is possible. But that he was strong & fast does not show he used anything.
There are genetic freaks or outliers always. People like Carnera carried more muscle than most any of the biggest SHW boxers you know-before steroids were even invented. Before modern training techniques, nutrition, & supplements.

Tyson was bulky by 13 when he was a poor J.D. kid with no access to anything.
He never added muscle so rapidly-or so much for his bone structure-that it is likely he used.
Anything is possible. But it is not the most likely explanation.
Especially since as you indicate re: HGH it would have come out-most everything else did.

 

Sam Langford and Canelo Alvarez have similar physique and body type to Mike Tyson.

 

Reminds me of a Black Canelo at heavyweight.

15 year Prodigy KOing full grown men. (Not elites)
Still = Greatness

 

I dunno I think he's a contender but I would favour Jones Jr just in terms of pure physical attributes. Mike could be nullified to an extent by some of the bigger guys even in his short prime.

Although of course genetics contributes

 

Prime Tyson never KOd an “elite” prime opponent. The only elite guys he fought beat his ass. Tyson was fun to watch but was a marketing creation. He could KO bums and flawed opponents but the first time he fought a guy who wasn’t overmatched he lost (Buster Douglas). Evander also kicked his ass and I think would have beat any version of Tyson.

Was Tyson the ultimate can crusher? That crown belongs to Wilder but Tyson made a bigger name for himself by beating a lot of bums. I was a fan but in hindsight the facts are undeniable.

 

He was definitely the best 15 y/o I have seen but at 35 he was finished.

 

Tyson wasn't able to KO elite fighters at 20, never mind 15.

Tyson benefited from a weak HW division.

 

Superior Coaching…

 

I think RJJ was just as, if not more physically gifted than Tyson.
