How to meet Mike Tyson. Any ideas?

[Mr.pain]

Unless I grew an inch or two, I am sure he is not. I am 5'10 and I am taller than him

I agaree

Im 5,8 and Tyson was the same as me or slightly taller.

Well I'd guess you had your back straighter than a grizzlys dick trying to size yourself up against him. Mike on the other hand was probably relaxed and hunched slightly. I can assure you he isn't 5'8.

He is mainly reported at 5'10 but I have seen other reports having him at 5'11. Boxrec has him at 5'10 and you'll struggle finding any other reliable sources stating he was under that.

My buddy saw Mike Tyson at the movie theater in AZ. He said Mike is super short... definately shorter than 5'10''

Boxrec has Floyd at 5,8 and Hatton at 5,6

And..........

 

[GlassJaw]

Tyson is BARELY 4'10.

 

[Mr.pain]

And..........

It's not the be all and end all.

Im talking from experience, Ive also met Floyd and I would say he's more 5,7 because I was taller then him.

 

[GlassJaw]

Paul Williams I'd swear to god is 6'3-6'4, I'm 6', and i came to about his chin.

I'm not saying it is the be all and end all. I'm just making a point that a one off meeting with Tyson is by no means enough to make an accurate assumption of him being 5'8 or even 5'9.

These sites even have him listed as tall as 5'11 and they include Mike's own website and Wikipedia. I'm just saying I'll go with what they say over my friend's friend knew somone, who met someone, who was related to someone, who knew Mike Tyson and says he's 5'8.

 

[Mr.pain]

Fair enough

Here's a site where they are debating the same topic.

Also here is a Video of Tyson talking about getting out of prison, and everybody telling him "We love you mike" then he talks about some of the "Bad Habits" he had picked up.


Gotta love the laugh.

Gotta wonder what those bad habits in prison were......

Its common practice for professionals to list guys taller and larger than they really are.

But I understand what you're saying here.

Use Google alerts to find out if Mike is making an appearance anywhere. It will also tell you what Mike is up to every time he goes out. If Mike is listed anywhere on the 'net, Google will find it.

 

[mschatz]

Professional basketball players are often listed as taller than they actually are, especially coming out of college trying to get drafted. Hmmm...that must mean Mugsy Bogues is like 4'10"...

 

[GlassJaw]

He's 2'6 thanks Mschatz. with a 10 foot verticle.

 

[lugubriousduck]

Does it really matter that he is 5'8? He can still kill anyone in this forum. And in his prime, 95% of the boxers in the world.

 

[aceventura]

225 pounds of muscle on a 5'8 frame??

he would be alot more stockier if that was true.

I thought MCPB would have bumped this thread.

On topic, apparently if you steal his tiger he will come find you.
