There is no way Tyson is 218lbs in the pic you posted either.

Nor is he 5'11.5, more 5'10ish

Tyson is nowhere near 5'11.5".. 5'9"-5'10" guy legit.

You have big legs for a skinny dude. I'm 5'10" and 220 pounds and my legs are 27".

everything is fine with tysons, measurements except his height. he is more 5'10

also the calf is wrong. no sure how they fucked that up.

holyfields are correct except his weight. he was 206lbs the guy never weighed above 210 in a fight.

this the tiny legs

Yup and Holyfield was never about 6'1".

Icelord · « **Reply #31 on:** May 08, 2014, 09:56:13 PM »

Tyson was 5'11.5" on paper, 5'9.5" in real life. He also has small joints...that 8" wrist crap was a Don King promotional thing.

old-school-lifter · « **Reply #32 on:** May 08, 2014, 10:16:24 PM »

i think those measurements are inaccurate

Tysons record before the 1st holyfield fight was not 33 wins and 3 losses

i think @ that point he'd only lost once to Buster Douglas

Simple Simon · « **Reply #33 on:** May 08, 2014, 10:16:49 PM »

they measure their arms unflexed.

ESFitness · « **Reply #34 on:** May 08, 2014, 11:17:12 PM »

I don't see the problem.

dude's 220lbs and bottom heavy. Tyson's thighs are/were always much larger than the guys he fought.

look at his arms, they're boxers arms, not bodybuilders arms. all biceps and no triceps. so 16" seems right and I recall seeing those same #'s on Tyson on many 'tale of the tape's". I'm guessing the 19in calves are a typo, most likely 16inches. 16in bicep on a bodybuilders arm doesn't look the same as a 16" boxers arm.

ahh thats what i was thinking.

so realistically tyson had 18-19 legit arms

kyomu · « **Reply #36 on:** May 09, 2014, 01:38:35 AM »

Boxers are twinks. And Mike Tyson is not twink nor big. So If you have 16inchs arms next to a boxer, you look huge.

Skylge · « **Reply #37 on:** May 09, 2014, 01:40:25 AM »

Both relatively light weight fighters for the heavy weight category

Griffith · « **Reply #38 on:** May 09, 2014, 01:42:24 AM »

I remember seeing Tyson listed as 5'9.5 ft before one if his fights.

He's 5'10 max.

JasonH · « **Reply #39 on:** May 09, 2014, 02:24:28 AM »

Most of those stats are nonsense.

Did they measure their 19" calves unflexed too?

oldtimer1 · « **Reply #41 on:** May 09, 2014, 04:14:05 AM »

Like someone wrote before boxers don't flex like bodybuilders for the tale of the tape.

flinstones1 · « **Reply #42 on:** May 09, 2014, 04:43:25 AM »

i think mike just had crazy high natural test levels

hench · « **Reply #43 on:** May 09, 2014, 05:04:02 AM »

Mike was built like a tank but arm measurement is clearly to small and vice versa for the calves

Rascal full · « **Reply #44 on:** May 09, 2014, 06:25:47 AM »

Bullshit stats anyway. Tyson had only lost once when he fought Holyfield for the first time. Mike had just knocked out Frank Bruno in three rounds and was 41-1 at the time. 36 knockouts or something stupid as well.

That’s Kevin McBride on the left. A friend of mine knew Michael Murray who had previously fought and beat McBride. He said that McBride was so unbelievably slow, he just needed to wait for him to commit forward and would nail him.

The fact that McBride would then go on to beat Tyson shows you how far Tyson had declined at that point.

Darren Avey · « **Reply #46 on:** May 09, 2014, 06:44:33 AM »

Mcbride claimed to rep 440 on the bench.

LOL

Very large man as he was, no way could he do that. He looked like he barely touched the weights.

If you google Kevin Mcbride bench press theres loads oftalk about it. If its online it must be true.

You find lots of bullshit online.

I googled it and McBride himself is quoted as saying he benches 265lbs, which is probably true.

Quote

"I'm bigger, and I'm stronger," said McBride, who weighed in at 271 pounds to Tyson's 233 on Thursday. "I've trained hard for this fight. I worked with a strength and conditioning coach for the first time, and I've been bench-pressing 265 pounds. I feel as strong as an ox. I have a hypnotist on board who's got me mentally focused, so there's no way I'm going to be intimidated. I'm confident that when Tyson sees me in the ring, he's going to be intimidated by me."
