    Can't get over how impressively Tyson looked and moved as a kid still relatively new to the sport. Kinda interesting Teddy Atlas voiceover too:

    Tyson is among the most underrated when it comes to boxing skills and technique.

    Impressive shoulders and biceps for someone so young.

    Was this before Teddy put the gun to Mike's head?

    Too bad he didnt keep that up his whole career. After Rooney left he was standing up too strait and used that movement in spurts instead of throughout his fights

    The team should have been charged with child abuse, pumping a kid with steroids for competitive gains is disgusting.

    Silly posts like this undermine your credibility in the your other anti-Tyson posts (the ones where you criticize the "Tyson myth" and argue that he was always overrated). Tyson had impressive size and strength when he was 13, before he ever met Cus.

    You thought wrong. Just read anything Bobby Stewart has ever written or spoken about discovering preteen Tyson.

    So why did you raise the matter then... Tyson was almost certainly on PED's from a young age.
