    Prior to going to prison, Tyson reportedly did not lift weights

    While locked up, I remember reading that he lost a lot of muscle. After his release, if memory serves he started training with the Gold's Gym owner, although I'm not sure if I'm remembering that correctly. Was the weight training just smoke and mirrors to get him looking the part again?

    I wouldn't say it was all smoke and mirrors but that was certainly in the equation.

    Dude didn't lift a single weight for 3 years while locked up and to his own admittance never trained and most likely smoked or sniffed some of that Dust. The breakfast of champions!!
