    Me thinks Tyson was taking PED's throughout his career....

    16 years of age is too early to build up big muscles with steroids or without. And Tyson wasn't known as a hardcore body builder at that time, anyway, he might have trained some, but for the most part it was genetics.

    you know that tyson was a fat boy by genetics? he trained like mad from monday to sunday to get his athletic body. tyson was a kid who developed his body very early, just like foreman they looked alpha male at 20, but it does not mean that if he weighed 190 at 16 he will increment his weight forever.. he was developed at 16, and he was in perfect shape at 198 pounds in the amateurs at 18 in 1984. HE HAD TO ADD MUSCLE IN HIS PROFFESSIONAL CAREER BECAUSE THERE ARE NO LIMIT IN THE HW DIVISION, IF NOT TYSON WOULD HAVE FOUGHT IN THE SUPER HW DIVISION IN THE AMATEURS LIKE FOREMAN(226 POUNDS AT 18-19),BOWE(216 AT 22) OR LEWIS(220 POUNDS AT 23) DID, BUT TYSON WAS NOT THAT BIG

    In two years Tyson had put on over 20lbs of muscle by the time he fought Berbick, me smell something fishy. He was using drugs just like most boxers of those times.

    I haven't seen examples of fully developed 16-year-old bodybuilders, not one. If he was 195 lbs of muscles at that age, he could get close to 250 lbs of muscles had he decided to do serious training. I can't imagine Joe Frazier being that huge as a bodybuilder.
    Craig Payne was the super hw national GG champion in 1983, Tyson fought him that year and didn't look small compared to Payne. The video is available on youtube. I'd conclude that Tyson fought him at super hw.

    Why do you keep saying 16? Tyson wasn't 16 when he fought Tillman. Tyson wasn't a bodybuilder though he was an athlete.

    tyson never fought at super hw in the amateurs, he fought at hw, under 200 pounds, cus damato wanted him fast, not a pork.
    Nobody is talking about if tyson could increment easily his musculature, i am talking about natural weight.. Sometimes the people think that if a guy has not fat he is in his best weight... A bodybuilder has no fat.. And still he is overweight... The frame of tyson was not bigger than frazier´s.. Simply tyson got ripped more easily. And stop dreaming.. Tyson was a tank at 220 i can´t imagine him at 250, he was not ronnie coleman

    The quote I saw said he was 195 pounds at 16 years of age, that's why. And Craig Payne was the national GG super hw champion in 1983, how could Tyson fight him at hw division?
