    Agreed but in that era I would not doubt he took some form of drug ... he was not exactly the most moral guy on the planet nor was he surrounded by them ...

    Tyson was never 200 pounds. Looks the same here. No way to tell though.

    He was supposed to have been lifting in Prison. His body looks around the same size. Its just the smaller neck and more chisled face make him look skinnier

    When a guys drops his body fat he always looks smaller in clothes (a smaller chisled face makes yer look smaller is well as less bloat and bulk) AND Bigger when there wearing a tight top or got no shirt on

    here another prison interview:

    Tyson was 200 pounds when he was 13 years old. Tyson was young in those videos, but still he was well in the 200's for sure. Tyson has giant legs, a lot of his weight is there.

    Tyson was not as heavy as he ever was for that fight. In 1986, he was over 221 for the Berbick fight. That's not the only fight either. Get your facts straight.

    No it was not. He weighed over 221 for the Berbick fight. You people should do your research before posting.

    I've heard this claim a million times, but never seen any evidence (let's say photos) that back it up. If I remember correct, he was around 190-200lbs as an amateur at age 16-18.

    I find it hard to believe he gained a grand total of 14lbs between his 13th and his 20th birthday - despite constantly training during that time. If he was 200lbs at 13 years, then most of it was fat.

    Well, 1 1/4 lbs. is a lot when you make the claim that he was at his career heaviest when he fought in 1995 against McNeeley at 220 and then you turn around and attempt to correct someone who told you that was not his career heaviest. In Tyson's whole career he was basically 213 - 221 until after the second Holyfield fight when he started weighing 223 - 239 in the Nielsen fight. If you meant "nearly" then put "nearly" and no one will correct you.
