He looks so humble and focused, there's a little innocence there too. Then comes Don King, Robin Givens, .. So much shit happens within the next 3 years after this.

"at my best, nobody can beat me"

jesus christ, that is so true. tyson really fucked up his career, thats undeniable - but NOBODY, EVER, could have beaten this mike tyson.

mike at a young age of 13 - 14 was very big boy naturally, he is simply gifted with out standing genetics, every part of his body is big and also he has a big bone structure which adds alot. i'm 5'8 and am gifted mainly on my legs at 26" and 16" calf and i dont train them, they are just muscular so mike was like that all over. kevin roony has said when mike first walked into the boxing gym at 13 or 14 mike was like a Man! i think mike had the illusion to look bigger because he is short compact.

Nah compare 80s Tyson body to post prison Tyson's body.

He weighed the same, but in the 90s his muscle were so dry and veiny and ripped it was crazy. The 80s Tyson just looks like a genetic freak who was in great shape.

Also a lot of people don't realise prime Tyson is really not that big. He looks bigger than he is.

@VCthaGOATdunker |Mike in the 80s was RIPPED ! . Who were you watching ? !

[kimera808]

@VCthaGOATdunker .YEAH BUDDYwhatever the case his hands are kissed from GOD.

I love Mikes evolution now as well....Keep it up Mike Love ya.

@kimera808

True. In the 80s didn't look like he did weights. he wasn't that cut with muscle popping out everywhere.

[AMGRULEZ]

That's my hero !! IRON MIKE FOREVER !!!

[thehitchrules]

What a good interview . Des as cool as a cucumber as always and Mike's a pussy cat !

[kimera808]

@WithBACON Sure I understand that here he peobably just did push ups dips & chins he looks like a classis meso ectomorph great genetics but puts on fat easily if not careful.But later on he definitle hit the Iron just no way for him not to have seen the gym.Regaurdless yeah he still has good genes that's easy to tell.

[WithBACON]

@kimera808 No, at this point in time Mike didn't lift weights. He simply has great genes.

[kimera808]

@WithBACON Yeah I realize this now. Theres a vid called "Mike Tyson's Beast gym training" here on youtube to confirm were he's bustin out serious weight doing hack squats.He's definitely familiar with power training, compound movements & the straight bar he has the classic physique of some one in a bulking stage.....No ones just born into this shape with a little help from calisthenics , jogging, jump ropping & hittin the bag, thats ridiculous you'll just tone up & burn caleries doing this.
