    Who the hell wants to buy a smelly pair of old battered boots? What next, his old jockstrap that he wore before the Lewis fight?

    I remember reading somewhere that mike had boxing shoes with lifts specially built in, which elevated him to the 5'11.5 height we sometimes see on the tale of the tape for his fights. They supposedly made him more explosive, but if true i wonder why other boxers dont wear them. In any case tyson was a short heavyweight and im sure his handlers or even himself frequently bought elevator shoes for squaring off against opponents, media pieces, those sort of things.

    So Tyson cheated in other ways as well hey, I've read Mayweather is going to wear stilts and challenge Joshua next year.

    I'd buy just to put it on your face while you were sleeping.

    Wouldn't that interfere with his fighting and pose a risk of twisting his ankle?
