According to ex heavyweight fighter tommy morrison two of the biggest fighters in the past 20 years took steroids . Tyson is without doubt one of the biggest fighters in the past 20 years if not the biggest . Dose anyone know for sure if tyson took steroids at any stage of his career ? . I have been told by boxing people that holyfield took steroids and looking at his body builders physique it dosent surprise me .
Okay here it is.

Remember, this is a 13 year old Mike Tyson and the other boxer on the pic is...LENNOX LEWIS!! You know how buff he was in his prime. He's nowhere near as big as Tyson in his younger days and he was also a year older.
This is proof that Tyson didn't take steroids.
tyson was double muscled
a rare genetic mutation
only one other human has it today(other than tyson) and he's about 5 years of age now
kind of doubt it. They do drug testing and steroids don't do a lot of boxers' mobility. Would steroids really help punching power that much anyhow? I see the logic, that yeah you're stronger so you can throw your fist harder, but I don't know if that's completely true. You'd get more bulky, which could slow your punch down.
mike tyson did do steroids, tommy morrison took steroids and don king payed ppl off to say tyson was negative for steroids holyfield also got away with this but was later reported and don king also payed ppl to give tommy morrison a false posotive for HIV because he was a threat to tysons career. When tyson was found out he said he didnt want to talk about it hes words were... "iv taken alot of things in my life but thats no bodys business and i dont wanna talk about it" These are all facts hes steroid use appariently also took place in prison but he was taking a drug called lithium at the time and lithium mixed with steroids causes major mood swings and the end result can be depression and breakdown. Before he came to cus damato he was overweight. this is often overlooked but this is from kevin rooney and teddy atlas's own mouths he was made to lift weights along with circuit training and also running this is how he leaned out but as soon as he got to cus damatos house he was put on a strict diet like everyone else this was for boxing and being healthy but that played a big part in the weight loss. him being overweight caused him to be 197lbs at the age of 13 and 14. he was put on a high protien diet to build muscle because he was made to lift weights because he was shorter and cus knew it would give tyson a different look in the ring. HE DID LIFT WEIGHTS HE AND TRAINERS HAVE CONFIRMED THIS.
but steroids isnt very effective in the sport of boxing only with hand speed. have u ever noticed for a heavyweight tyson was very very fast. he was fast as a kid but even faster afterwards. steroids also explain tysons sexual desire for women. note: im not trying to put tyson down as he will always be a boxing legend no matter what and iam a big fan of his. my findings were all fact due to extensive research
Tyson having used steroids is news to me. It wouldnt suprise me though when i come to think of it. Even when he was 13 or 14 as terrible as that sounds. Sportsmen will do anything for success, especailly when you come from nothing and u want to b somethin
Bowe accused Golota of being on steroids during their fights. He did have pimples on his back, but I have seen plenty of people that have pimples all over their back or chest that dont take roids.
I dont think Tyson ever used them though.
bowe golota 2 is on espn right now. Golota had to be on roids. I've never seen a 28 year old have that much acne on his back, shoulders, chest, and upper arms.

Tyson was always big, its my opinion that he was never really on Steroids..However if there is any possibility in Tyson taking steroids it would have to be later in his career..
This is from VH1, "Driven"
It's not letting me load up the pics so just click on the site and go to pictures...there is a pic of Mike in 8th grade, and then in his Freshman class. I wonder if Mike was left back.

Allright. I'll post a pic of him when he was 13 i believe. Maybe 15 but i dont remember.
Somebody said Tyson was 13 in the first pic of this video, which I thought as well, but not sure...he is very young in the pic and I have seen this pic in documentaries when saying, "when Mike first met Cus"

I love mike,but they were both extremly ripped for this fight,not saying they were using steroids but there look was damn near perfect in each of there own ways
could be, but you don't need "sterods" to get your body ripped.
Mike was what in that fight, 225?
If he was 225, that would be slightly higher than when he was younger...considering DHT releases at a higher level in your body when you hit your mid-20's, and I could be wrong about this, but your muscles become more "muscular" because your strength goes up, and DHT helps with getting ripped.
Proper nutrition can help as well.
Ephedrine and other stimulants can help as well.
But yes, Steoirds are always a possibility.
Is Tyson that much more ripped against Holyfield than pre-prison?

what about frank bruno the guy was or is fucking huge :eek:
Frank was huge, especialy in the rematch with Tyson.
I am not going to say he is or was on steroids, but like I say with anybody, "anything is possible"
His weight was a lot higher from his younger days however.

They actually did that back then. They would breed the stronger slaves together to make "super slaves" I've heard arguments stating thats the reason blacks are usually more naturally athletic than other races.
True.
That was talked about in a couple of my college courses in Sociology.
Probably, any I'd say I'd guess not the only drug Mike ever took, But I'd also say he's definitely not the only one either...
Mike took some serious drugs that crack-head's use, so anything is possible.
However, I have mention this many time before, people with natural high testosterone levels are supposedly more likely to do all sorts of drugs because they are "risk-takers" and need either something to calm them down or something to do. That said, they were also found less likely than anyone else to do steroids, why? because they didn't need it.
Tyson may or may not take roids but he is no stranger to the weightroom. At 16 years old he was quite stocky (about 180-90 lbs on a 5'8" body) but his muscles had nowhere near the size and definition they did in his twenties or even now. I has seen clips of him lifting and have read stories of his lifts. The guy lifts and he is strong in the weightroom.
This is where it confuses me, what excercise did Mike do for weights?
I read an article way back that supposedly said Tyson said himself that he didn't really lift all that much, but did to powerlifts for overall body development, although I never know what to believe in articles anymore.
One thing you have to remember, as you get older, past your teens, your body will become more muscular, unless you don't have the genes for it, then you are fucked, and I am sorry.
Ok, guys come on. All these commenst, about, "look how skinny his legs are compared to his upper", "Tyson was too big, so he took roids", "he was bigger in his 20's, than he was when a teenagre", no shit. Look, roids give you power for a short term deal, and hamper like hell stamina. Hloy's syle, YOU HAD TO HAVE NATURAL stamina, it would be impossible to fight like he did ad be on enough of a roid program to get any sort of edge, without getting winded past the 6th. Look at Tyosn in his ameture ring days, HUGE. Listen. people get bigger as they get older, because their metabalism slows. Also, some bodybuidlers will tell you, some of them, cant get thgier legs huge if they wanted to. End of the story is, it comes down to genetics. Oh, and to those who say pimples are a sign, and in some are, but I ave never sed ANY sort of drug, and I have random breakouts. Lets concentrate now, on the boxers whom are actuve, and lets make sure they are playing fair. Arguing about fighters who dont matter in the ring now is just pointless.
