Tyson is extremely EMO and a wanna be tough guy.

He even bit of a piece of an opponents ear because he was losing the fight.

Needs to stay on medication.

A wannabe tough guy? Are you mentally fukin retarded? Yea, the ex heavyweight champion who used to KO people for a living is a wannabe tough guy? Wow, you need some medical attention immediately. Or, just shoot yourself.

It is completely hand painted.  The back was a huge painting of the United States with all the capitals in larger red crystals.  If I remember right it weighed over 9 pounds.  Everything about it was done by hand.  This was specially made for me in size XXXL

No worries, were you a boxer? Or how were you involved with boxers such as Tyson? Sorry, I must have missed where you stated this earlier. Not flaming at all, just wondering.

That's a really nice jacket! XXXL !?!? Damn  :o what did you weigh in the pics?! 290'ish ?!


Probably between 300 and 305.

Fleb;  My manager was the nephew of Don King's right-hand man.  But, also Tyson I originally met at the Forum in LA and he and my uncle became very close friends.  My uncle also in the 80's and early 90's got free tickets to every major fight or event in vegas.  Boxing was really popular.  He would get as many as 40 comp tickets.  We went to the Tyson/Bruno fight with 14 people all wearing jackets like mine but different designs.  Chuck Norris was with as was the Mayor of Vegas at the time.  We sat 5th row right with the casino owners.  He got the best tickets because of how he gambled

Well you sure lived the life man :)

305 is huge, did you have any problems with your back or knees? when I was walking around at 265 at 6"0/6"1 I was starting to get back and knee pain but I guess part of that was from holding on to excess water.

I played catcher for 18 years and have spent since 1986 or so weighing 300 pounds or more with maybe a few months here and there under 300 but never under 290 and never had knee problems.  I felt great.  I ruptured my L4 and L5 in 83' when I weighed around 240.  It goes out once in awhile.  the weight has made it a little more tender.  I retain a ton of water.  I take a 80mg Lasix and will piss out 14 pounds of water in 3 hours.  I cut the top off a gallon milk carton and piss in it so I can measure.  I was 293 when I got bit.  I was riding my bike 28 miles a day and walking 10+ miles on weekends pulling a tire with cement in it that weighed 120 pounds or so.

the photos below are of me pulling tire around Diamond Head.  they were taken by a magazine that was in Honolulu covering the World Windsurfing Championships at Diamond Head.  The photographer saw me along with a reporter and asked me what I was doing.  They took some photos and put them in the magazine.  She sent me these photos several months later.  People really liked seeing me pulling the tire.

I am interested in boxing although basically completely inexperienced.  I find that I can punch the bag pretty hard which I assume is just due to acquiring strength from training with weights over the years, however I don't know much about technique.  Does anyone here box?  I am interested in learning.

No man this is getbig where they all think boxings a pussy sport, everyone on here takes part in the far nmore dangerous sport of cage fighting

That was back in 97 or 98.  It looked kind of weak compared to guys who push those big tires.  But, I would walk around Diamond head crater which is about 3 or 4 miles around plus up hill and stuff.  I cut a hole in the tire and filled it with cement.  It weighed a good 120 pounds or so, plus the drag on the street so it was pretty hard.  I remember a group of tourists pulled along side of me asking what I was doing and taking -photos.  Two girls and two guys from Texas.  They pulled over and we talked for awhile and one of the girls wanted to take a picture and video with her pulling the tire.  She she got the rope around her and started walking.  Well the rope was not fully extended and when she hit the end it pulled her back and she fell on her ass.  Everyone including people watching just started laughing.  She didn't even weigh as much as the tire and it just pulled her back.  She was amazed and then the guys grabbed it and pulled it.  They couldn't believe how heavy it was.  So it was harder than it looked.  I had a few people along the way that would bring me out water.  I also had a backpack I put on the tire sometimes with oranges and water and apples.  It was fun.  Nowadays I can barely walk on my own

It's rough getting older. Im in my 30s and already feeling it a bit. I get depressed as hell thinkin about the way things used to be or how my body responded to things when I was younger. How do you cope? I respect your wisdom; that's why I'm asking. I'm scared to shit of getting older

Tyson was tough with his entourage but get him on his own and slap him around a bit ...he ain't so tough.

As soon as he tried that mean ass staring shit with me I would headbutt him and instantly shatter his nose. No referee to save his broke ass this time, any more shit from the lisping prick and I'd send the bone of his former nose shuttling into his ( albeit small) brain.


hahahahaah  :D

Getting older is a bitch but my age doesn't bother me as much as what I look like physically.  I really don't feel any different that when I was in my 20's.  The huge problem is because of my size instead of doing everything I used to do I can only think about it now.  I do know when I get back into shape I will be able to do everything I used to.  Other than the weight gain which has nothing to do with my age except maybe the slower metabolism I really don't look that different.  I have no wrinkles or age spots or anything.

I'm getting a few gray's and wrinkles seem more pronounced now. These are things I didn't even notice in my 20s but now I seem to notice any little change, some probably aren't anything but because I know I'm getting older I feel these things are happening. I think a lot is in my mind and paranoia. I'm always lookin back at the "good old days" so much so that that it depresses me.lol Maybe I'm just more sensitive than others with aging but I gotta change my mind set obviously. Stress doesn't exactly help slow down the aging process. I'm in my early 30s so it's not even that bad or like I'm that old. Just pay way too much attention to it.

No reason to stress about it.  You know if it gets really stressful and you start to look really old there are always answers.  HGH therapy, botox etc.  I figure I will go on HGH within the next couple years.

you look like a fucking tank pulling that tire. Makes me want to get my ass back into the shape I was when I was 30. I felt like a tank when I was powerlifting a lot. I tore my left pec, blew the muscle pretty bad last year. The tendon is still good and i am able to do pushups now and dumbell presses but the muscle will forever be different. Anyway getting old is a state of mind as they say, this is my 40th year on this rock. I let myself go this past year because I got lazy after the injury and have just started to get back.
   Your picture in Hawaii with the tire is inspiring to say the least. I hope you can get yourself back in shape as well.

Well maybe you can post some photos of you and things you have done.  It would be great to see how awesome you are.  I don't them to be from 30 years ago since you are probably 16 or 17 but maybe post some up of you at Disneyland
