    Lol, this is Tyson we're talking about. I'll say he does end up trying to take him out. The red mist will decend..

    I'll watch it for free on YouTube...when it lands on there. No way would i pay for this circus.
    Want a real exciting fight....Dubois vs Joyce. Now that will be good while it lasts.

    Betting sites were freaking out, and probably the promoters as well.

    Very very depressed seeing Tyson's dad body, i was expecting lesser body fat and that the stomach muscles wouldn't hang out. He looks like having a dad body which is unlike his 20's and 30's.

    That weight is irrelevant, he is showing hanging love handles in the tummy abdomen area which is disgraceful and is nothing like the physique he had in his 20's and 30's. Was very depressing to see him with a dad body

    You see body builders with excellent six packs in their 50's. Why couldn't Tyson do it?

    Because he's a boxer... not a bodybuilder. Show some pics of yourself?
    Dumbest post of the week award.

    Some people are not living in the real world. Both looked great for their respective ages. They weren't fat, they had some muscle, yea they weren't as defined as they were in their primes but you would be foolish to think they would be. 54 and 51 years of age for God sake.

    He is 54 you know.

    And how is it irrelevant that he's same weight as when he was 20? It doesn't have to be a good thing, maybe he has cut too much, but it's still crazy that he got down to the weight he was almost two and a half decades ago. I didn't see that coming.

    Tyson was looking tremendous in previous pictures leading up to this, but during the weigh in he looks so deflated


    it I was shocked by how much of a difference there was

    it look like you let the air out of a pumped up balloon

    The fact Tyson weighs LESS than he did in his prime while being much fatter is more good evidence for his roid-bulking back in the day.

    If his natural weight really was around 100kg/228lbs as people pretend, he would be at least this now but actually likely more. Because even though the muscle drops off, it will generally be replaced by fat and people don't get lighter at that age. He's probably also been PED-ing just to get some bulk for this fight. His natural lean weight is clearly far below his HW fighting weight.
