tyson was really tiny for a heavyweight.

I believe maybe 3 guys ever had that much weight on him all at the end of his career, McBride, Williams &Nielson i believe had like 30 some lbs on him But Mike was 220 lbs with 17 inch arms, something Peter would be if he trained for real.

 

Yes, 5 foot 11 is not really overly short, even for a heavyweight.

Its not like he was 5 foot 2.

Holy was only about four inches taller, and Bruno, Ruddock, etc were only about three inches taller than Tyson.

 

I'm surprised we have not had the old height debate yet.

There used to be arguments of Holy War proportions regarding Tyson's real height.:rofl

 

And Sam Peter is only 1 inch taller:yep

 

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

not alot of people on this forum know that eventhough tysons height waz listed at 5.11, tyson waz actually much closer in height to a garden mouse

thus his nipplin on holyfiields earz after running up his arm

 

When tyson started boxing he was only 180-185 and when he turned pro most of his fights were at 210-215. He could have made it down to 200 pounds easily.

 

todays standard cruiserweight limit is 200

 

You never noticed? He wasn't even 6 foot; that is damn small for a heavyweight. Shows how good he was that he was beating up on people twice his size (not literally). This is why I think Haye has got the beating of Wlad- you aint gotta be tall to take someone down, you just need the skills.

 

No taller than 5' 10",believe me.

The Klitschko's heights I can well believe.

 

In today's standards he is...
****en Valuev is a mythical creature.

 

As a puncher,though,he was all that he was made out to be-and more.

 

Did you also notice that Muhhamad Ali was fast.

 

indeed.
