No! What I know is that he is in a rehabilitation clinic to cure his cocain adction! Read it now in a newspaper! And he was a boxer not a powerlifter...

Tyson was a little machine back in the day.....nothing huge, but he had power......it's certainly possible.

[MoralMan]

In 1989 he was more like 230lbs. Strong mofo if this is true

[Dingleberry]

How could any of you think he couldn't? Look at the power this guy had -

right right...1989, 2007. same thing to me

he won the title in 86, lost in in 1990. he didnt lose his "grip" until his rape charge in 92.

in his bio it says he weighed 200lbs by age 13!

thats a big kid at 5'11"

[Rich Gainihger]

he weighed 215-222lbs for a fight.  I imagine he was heavier at times.

Wrong. He was 225lbs in his hayday and built like a freight train.I believe it.

PB

i thought i had seen every single video of tyson, but this one is probably the best i have seen for displaying tyson's attributes as a fighter. the only feature missing was the left hook that made berbick do the funky chicken (but that ko was more an accumulation of shots anyway).

well done Dingleberry. great vid and musical score.

oh, btw, i don't know whether tyson could bench 135 or 400, but who the fuck cares bench press has as much to do with fighting as hop scotch. hope this helps.

Thanks Beast. Your above comment made me think of this COPS episode I saw a few years ago. It had a bunch of cops working out, and they were teasing each other about the weight and shitty form. Then this one cops says  “I highly doubt the criminal is thinking about my ass coming off the bench when I’m slamming him against the hood of my car”. Hahahaha

Best Tyson highlight around. Song is perfect, too.

Wrong.  My friend trained him for 3 months and he said he could barely do his bodyweight for reps in the bench.  He would wake up and run 5 miles then come to the gym and train.  He hired my friend to train him for K-1.  Didn't last long.  Weightlifting wise Mike was not strong at all.  He could do allot fo pushups though and situps.

So lifting huge weights and bench 405 for reps doesn't make you a great fighter. Lot of delusional gym bullies still don't know that.
