Did Tyson use 'roids?

he was a little fat 185 - 190 pounds according to teddy atlas. massive for a kid of that age. but he seemed to stop growing early is well. he has been the same height since he was 15-16

I reckon his pysique of 80's was achievable naturally but i still believe he was on something in them days. the 80's was when roid use exploded

 

i agree. they dont give you the gifts that he had

The HW division wouldnt be in such a bad way today if they did

 

runners wouldnt be taken HGH if it did

 

I saw a photo of Tyson's father a few years back, he would have been in his forties and he was sitting in a small grandstand of sorts. You could see a resemblance to Tyson but he was no monster but you could see he was a strong man although not a fit one if that makes sense.

 

these are my thoughts as well.

 

punchy is tysons father a white irish man i heard he was

 

No

 

I believe what Bigcat's saying as I've been reading his posts on here for awhile and he's not one to stir the pot for the sake of controversy alone, and is a trustworthy poster in my book. That the story he's recounting isn't 100% scientifically accurate adds to the believability for me because most fighters (and other athletes, as well) don't completely understand the science behind 'roids and HGH today, let alone 15-20 years ago. If he posted that people in the ring years ago were giving him the 100% same terminology and facts we know today, it'd have been a red flag that he just made it up now.

I can't speak for anyone else, but thanks for posting that personal account Bigcat. :thumbsup

 

You my friend, are a great poster.I dont think i've ever spoke to you or even replied to ur comments, but your a very interesting read !:good

 

I dont think there is any reason to discount Bigcat, I never got the impression that he talked alot of ****.

Anyway, as far as Tyson being on the juice, it wouldnt shock me at all. The guy was a beast. I've never seen any 20 year old look the way that guy did. I think it was already said but I'll reiterate, we tend to hear that Mike was a beast at 12 years or 13 years of age etc, but we've never seen proof of it.

I think Tyson is a combination of great genetics and maybe some drug enhancement. People can juice all they want and still not achieve the look and strength of someone with great genetics.

 

spot on mate. i know people who really struggle to gain anything out of juice

tysons ginetics were awesome whether or not he was on juice

 

For what it's worth here's what Holyfield had to say about it:

 

Tyson probably did them after Prison, he got pretty jacked. Pre prison though, I doubt it. He had a natural build.

 

Hmmm....

This slowing down effect may be a problem for a short athlete 5' 10" tall versus someone 6' 6".

If any athlete took GH, the connective and bone tissue in his joints would increase a certain volume.Let's assume there is no increase lengthwise,in a mature adult,because the growth plates have closed. Therefore on HGH the bones can only increase in width.Since a smaller athletes has smaller bones than a taller athlete,that would mean on an intensive course of HGH his bones would increase the same size,but the broadening of his bones and joints would be greater.

Of course with greater cartillage and bone surface area and width come greater range of movement in the joint.This fact may allow an athlete to develop a greater crescendo of power in a punch .

However,the success of a small explosive fighters is highly contingent on quick,compact punches,thrown with balance and with minimum expenditure of muscular energy(ie. combinations) . The broadening of the joints would mean that it wouldn't be possible to throw compact powerful punches without to a certain extent losing balance (because your centre of gravity is thrown further forwards because of the greater range of movement of the joints).Also to keep from being thrown off balance you have to use muscular energy to catch yourself and 'break' your movement.

Maybe this is one way that HGH can affect the speed of one aspect of a fighter's game (especially a smaller fighter). :?

 

Somehwere around 1996 I'd say he was beginning to juice........ Prior to jail, I doubt it.......... Tyson was naturally trained at 215 to 220 pounds..... But them 230+ pounds days with no added fat seems suspicious to me.........
:huhthumbsup
