Some of you are measuring thigh wrong...

you take a tape measure and measure 4" above the knee cape and then measure around the leg at that point. 
thighs are not necessarily measured at their "biggest" point, which is what a lot of people do when they measure their legs...

International Organisation of Anatomical Standard Measurements approved

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

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.

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

Post by: ESFitness 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.

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

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

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."
