ummmm fuck no. he was juiced aswell as jacked up on cocaine before every fight. thats why his career nosedived so early. pun intended. some people say it was his coach dying/ prison yeah that didnt help. but it was most likely the drugs he was on not good for long term performance. thats just my opinionView attachment 817161
you guys think he was natty? This was the early days of juicing, I wouldn’t be surprised if he dabbled in a few picograms of stuff.
Tell that to deron Winn.He was 5'10 210 lbs in his prime.. he wasn't' going to be winning in MMA unless he cut down to MW or WW
And Parker “portly” porterTell that to deron Winn.
Mike Tyson, even in his prime, was very weak physically. Naturally he was very weak in the clinch, every single opponent who faced him was the visibly stronger man and pushed him back.
Some people just have that weakness. Some are naturally strong like George Foreman, some are naturally weak in the grappling department.
.... No
"genetically gifted" its called steroids broWhen he was young, his genetically gifted body was just clay waiting to be molded, his brain was a sponge, his desire to learn evident. If he truly dedicated himself to sprawl and brawl and blue-belt level sub defense, he would have wreaked havoc.
Kevin Rooney said Mike was 190lb at 15yrs old. Hit him with a jab that hurt him. That's when he said he knew the kid was something special. That aint steroids"genetically gifted" its called steroids bro
lol @ very weak. every opponent outweighted him for at least 15 kg (probably 35lbs or so). you know how clinching works? height, reach, weight disadvantages in his whole career.Mike Tyson, even in his prime, was very weak physically.

Anyone claiming Mike was on roids his entire career just prove themselves to be noobs that have no clue about the man's history. I'm not going to speculate if he was on anything after he dropped Rooney or after he started lifting when he got out of prison but that dude was born a genetic freak. It's also not the type of thing that would fly with Cus. That guy was all about the mind and would think a crutch like that would make a person mentally weak and risk being mentally dependent on it.Kevin Rooney said make was 190lb at 15yrs old.

Yeah, that's why he was weak.. he was small. Too small to be strong. 210 lbs isn't going to cut it in MMA.lol @ very weak. every opponent outweighted him for at least 15 kg (probably 35lbs or so). you know how clinching works? height, reach, weight disadvantages in his whole career.
Tyson is a straight specimen.
You always hear about Vikings this and Spartans that.... but Tyson's got that African warrior king blood.

seriously. 1000 years ago tyson would unified africa and conquered the whole world. he has this special warrior king thing.
and @superpunchLike superpunch above me said, his small size is one of the reasons he was weak. If he went into MMA he would be a HW with a huge disadvantage. The DC comparison doesn't fly because DC is a former olympian who dedicated his entire life to wrestling and an extremely rare talent.
I will also add that Tyson was actually physically weak pound for pound as well. He did fight some guys around his size and he was still glaringly weak in the grappling.
