Raw genes he never picked a weight up in his life.

He d have got his ass handed to him in da octagon

One of the few boxers to always admit that, and say how amazed he is by the way he learned how MMA fighters train, etc.

He really is a pretty good case of the fat kid training his ass off "weights" being the last thing on the program. Kind of like how Evan Centopani says he realized he had a good build after losing a ton of fat by running,etc and then knew he could turn that base into...well a way different level of the word huge

ps- Had no idea of the facial thing with T levels...how is it then most rapists/crazy fucks who can't keep their hands off women are usually redneck-meth looking?

[Branchs Ears]

I can believe he didn't seriously lift weights. Dude was just a crazy genetic freak from the get-go.

[240 is Back]

Also, the gloves should be evidence of that as well, since you don't come out of the womb with gloves.

I did.  My mom was banging quite a few getbiggers' fathers and I didn't want to catch anything on the ride out.

[oldgolds]

Guarantee he was on the juice. Holyfield too.

Tyson lifted weights - it's in the vid. I also recall one of his later fights a few years back when Chad Nicholls was "working with him as a nutritional advisor" ...

Tyson showed up for that fight weighing about 240 or so IIRC (much heavier than his previous fighting weights in the 215-220-ish range). He was still lean, but he was obviously bigger and had a bit of a watery look about him.

I don't think any MMA twinks would have had a chance in hell with that crazy fucker - at least not when he was at his peak in the late 80's.

[ProudVirgin69]

He was not who he was because of weight lifting.... the muscular size, power, and strength were mostly innate.

But he did supplement his boxing training with weight training.... as does just about any boxer/fighter

Of course he trained with weights ... and of course he used anabolic drugs ... and of course he was naturally aggressive and muscular ...

Why does any of this even require consideration? If you have any clue, you know. Weight training for Mike was just that, weight training. It wasn't some all-intensive bodybuilding approach, obviously.

And as far as the whole MMA thing, Tyson would have been at a disadvantage in the sport, sure. Who wouldn't agree? But in a spontaneous real fight, my dough would have been on Iron Mike. In his prime the guy was too aggressive, explosive and talented with his fists to have been at much risk of having to duke it out on the ground. Within the first few seconds the foolish bastard who chose to pursue the altercation would have had holes punched into him. MMA hero or not.

He lifted, there's footage of him squatting and benching in the high 200's - low 300's on a few training tapes. I can't find it online, but about a 1:20 in you can see him training with weights here -

.

- Hard to hit
- Crazy head movement
- Absolute precision as far as punching from the entire body. Vintage Tyson was heavyweight perfection, never saw anything like him before or since. When he started becoming easier to hit (goofed of with his training)  and didn't develop a back up plan if the knock out didn't happen, everything went wrong.
He had ALWAYS fought opponents bigger than himself and once they had an easier target to hit and were no longer scarred shitless....

[Marty Champions]

Some black guys have this weird thing about pretending they don't lift.  Carl Weathers used to say the samething

hahah they dont like to admit to effort, to me this is an awesome effect!

Ali in his prime would have made Tyson in his prime look like a helpless baby.

Not to put Ali down, but Tyson would have put him into a permanent coma.

[anab0lic]

From memory he was already 200 pounds at 14.Ive met chocolate faces who were huge who knew nothing about weight training.

how in the hell is this stupid shit so funny LOL.

[ESFitness]

you believe anybody working with Chad Nicholls is NOT using PEDs?

[Pray_4_War]

Tyson

This is the PED using, weight lifting Tyson.  1995 and beyond.

[chess315]

 Tyson genetic gifts aside would not have done that well at mma he is so athletic would win local fights easy but would have trouble with ncaa level type wrestlers just cannot seeing him having the patience and iq to deal with something like mma. Boxing carries over in fights but not a lot more then the ability to run a football or other athletic feats. Hell professional wrestlers have done better historically then boxers in mma. MMA requires a some what patient mind. So he can bench 315-400 every high level 200lb athlete can.

 I could honestly see someone like john cena or Mariusz Pudzianowski beating him. I almost think if no wrestling/grappling background football is damn near a better first skill then boxing. Plus he would be 205 that takes away glory of the big heavy weight fight

[MAXX]

You can have a muscular physique from doing other exercises than lifting weights.

this

try a session of boxing a sack at high pace intervalls and see how your arms and shoulders feels after.

also he self admittedly did steroids.
