You in your prime VS. 12 year old Mike Tyson

[dissectingaorticaneurysm]

I doubt that is him at 13 but w/e. Dont tell me he was 5 foot 10 here at 13 and stopped growing too? Cause the truth is most stop growing at 18-21.

he wasnt 5'10 yet here. and here is Tyson 2 years later at 14:

Everyone remarked on how freakish his physical development was for his age. Some people just hit their peak sooner. Watch that Lennox interview on Rogan's podcast. He talks about what an early bloomer Tyson was compared to himself who took much longer to hit his prime.

This is why people still talk about Tyson so many years later. He really was a freak athlete and a generational talent.

@XYCromosone** who said Tyson was 5'0 at 12 y/o? Think you are mistaken once again

 

[XYCromosone**]

You are spouting opinion. I've found 3 different websites. Here's a 3rd.

At 12, Tyson was arrested for purse snatching and sent to the Tryon School for Boys. He soon met Bobby Stewart, a counselor and former boxer who saw in Tyson a pugnacious kid who had grown to 200 pounds and could bench press more than his weight.

I am using logical thinking dude. Mike at his prime was 220 pounds. 220 poounds. And you are trying to convince us that a 12 year old Mike who was likely 5 foot was around 200 pounds? A 12 year old mike who was not 60 percent as strong and chiselled as a prime 220 pounds Mike Tyson?

You make absolutely no sense. I am done with this though. Not trying to convince you how this is not logically possible.

Again, you must be stupid if you think Tyson at around 5 foot flat and 12 years old is 190 pounds. No way is a 12 year old who is 5 foot 190 pounds. If you believe that bullshit story from Teddy I have a bridge to sell you.

He was taller than 5 foot at 12! I know 12 year olds who are like 5'5" at least and probably 120 pounds and not muscular.

It's entirely possible Tyson was into drugs or steroids that early in his life too. I don't think people understand his upbringing.

 

[method115]

Nope I'd take him down, mount him and GNP the fuck out of that 12 year old.

I can see him being 14 there. he doesnt look to be 200 pounds even at age 14. Looks to be about 5 foot 6 and 165 pounds there. At age 12 I can easily see him being 5 foot and 140 pounds.

Drugs maybe I doubt he could afford steroids.

I'm not saying he was 5 foot tall. You are saying that. I'm saying he could very likely have been 5'5" and 180 or maybe it was exaggerated slightly and he was 170. That's not completely out of the question.

My 10 year old is tiny and he's like 4'10". A kid a year old than him is at least 5'4" or more.

So on a conservative side take a 5'5" Tyson at 170 pounds from the streets who grew up his whole life fighting and stealing and doing who knows what else. Yes, he would murk most office dwelling shedog men here based on ferocity, fear, and willingness to take and give punishment.

Thats bullshit, no way was Tyson 190 pounds at 12 years old. Mike Tyson was likely around 5 feet around that time and you are trying to tell us he was chiseled at that age? Please. That is bullshit from Teddy if he did tell it.

Teddy Atlas helped trained Mike for a few years before the issue (Atlas's niece) ended that relationship. He stopped training Mike when he was 15. Please note that Mike first had been arrested at least 38 times, had multiple street fights with adults, gone to juvenile detention, picked up boxing for a few months, impressed Bobby Stewart (a National Golden Gloves and Mike's first trainer) to recommend him to Cus and then Cus started training him (with Kevin Rooney and Teddy Atlas).

A 12-year old Mike Tyson would fuck up any version of you up and then fuck your gf at the time... LOL

Exactly!! Arguing whether he was 5'3" or 5'5" or 160 pounds or 180 pounds doesn't matter. A 12 year old street hardened Tyson would crush most poeple here......except UberTS of course.....like I said earlier, just based on his speed, anger, power, and ability to take and receive punishment. The guy was like a game pitbull no matter what the size.

 

[loyalyolayal]

So youre telling me he was 5 foot 10 inches at 12 years and stopped growing and remained 5 foot 10 inches? Yeah Seems very logical.

Somewhere between this 10 yr old kid

and this 14 yr old man.

 

[dissectingaorticaneurysm]

no, he wasnt 200 lbs yet and whoever is saying that is wrong. However, he was still powerful enough at 13 to beat GROWN MEN.

 

[TheNinja]

yup. TS is not very smart thinking a 12 year old could beat up most Adult males in their prime, GTFOH. I am not that big 5"7 inch but I am sure a 12 year old mike would be about 5 foot and not that strong or know as much about fighting as I do.

Wait....you are currently 5'7"??? Oh, a 12 year old Tyson would dominate you and he abosolutely knew as much about fighting as you and likely much dirtier fighting. I'm 6'1" and 190ish and I think he'd KO me.

I was thinking maybe a 6'4" 235 pounder would do well simply b/c of the size difference.

 

[XYCromosone**]

@XYCromosone** who said Tyson was 5'0 at 12 y/o? Think you are mistaken once again

lol, me? I am using logical thinking. No way was he anywhere near 5 foot 10 at 12 years old. If you think that then continue listening more Teddy Atlas stories. 5 Foot 10 was his maximum height. At 12 I would say he was about 5 feet and at max 5 feet 4.

LOL

5'7" manlet thinks he can handle a 12-year old Mike Tyson!??...

LOL!

he needs to read some boxing history. He was hardened kid by 12 years old and fuckin' grown ups by that time. not soft ass sheltered bitches... other grown ups in the hood.

I am 5'6" and he sounds shorter than me!... hahahah!

Yes and a 5'4" Mike Tyson would fuck your wimpy ass 5'7" of empty bravado shit with the utmost ease.

Hey dude, speak for youself. I am sure he would kick your ass. I bet you also believe Teddy's Story that at 12 years old Mike was 190 pounds. I am done with this though. Dont give a damn what you clowns think.

I sound shorter than you? Totally makes sense. I am done with this though. When I have to hear stupid shit like this you know people arent thinking logically. Keep believing Mike was 190 pounds at 12 years old when at his prime he was 220 pounds.

 

[XYCromosone**]

Yes and a 5'4" Mike Tyson would fuck your wimpy ass 5'7" of empty bravado shit with the utmost ease.

ok

 

[AznTrojan]

i can't even KO him in the punch out video game in my prime..
