    I dont know but I was a HUGE fan and if only he could have kept that up!

    It was a shame to see him come to the ring not fully prepared.

    Dude was an ABSOLUTE BEAST though!

    Tyson was a genetic freak, a superb athlete. I don't think we'll ever see anyone quite like him.

    Is this based on that training regime that constantly says (it was a great workout for those big legs of his)?

    Because thats fake.

    Rocky Marciano, Carmen Basilio, Manny Pacquiao, Bernard Hopkins, and Joe Frazier are all known for their incredible work ethics and how hard they work in the gym. I think all 5 of them trained harder than Tyson, there are probably more aswell.

    Chris Eubank sparred 25000 rounds throughout his career. BHop is a gym rat and so's Mayweather. Wlad's said to train like crazy. A massive training session just before a fight is less work than a consistent training regime.
