    To be fair, Tyson was 5'9 190 of solid muscle as a 12 year old. Im not saying he didnt take steroids because I think he did at one time, but he is naturally a freak of nature, and Holyfield is naturally a cruiserweight.

      We don't know if Mike Tyson took steroids, a third party statement from an unidentified source 19 years ago isn't the most credible source exactly. I don't know why Holyfield would drop Tyson's name after all of this, but it doesn't do much but raise alot of questions.

        Lets take the "Men" that are not on steroids for example:
        A study showed that the "Elite", meaning the guys that are the "Freaks of nature" when it comes to measured testosterone levels, usually 1000ng+, are more daring, more aggressive, more willing to take risks.


        Yes, steroids main purpose I am sure in the begining was to help muscle recovery and come back from injury, but add steroids to build your body, feel that high amount of testosterone in your body, and you start to feel like a "God"
        .
        Well, maybe to an extent, but no amount of drugs give you the skill, ability to take a shot, or the phenomenal amount of heart and drive that Holyfield has. The fundamental qualities Holyfield has, are natural, there's just no question about that IMO.

          I guess the only way to find out is if Tyson and Holyfield start losing limbs in there 50's and eventually drop dead out of nowhere.

              Oh ****, you know what I just thought about, HOLYFIELD GOT TAKEN:

              Say it wasn't true that Tyson did steroids, but why would a steroid seller use his name?

              Because Tyson was the best at the time, and what is a guy that is selling you a product that could make you better do? say so-and-so is on them in order for you to buy them and also, a bonus, you (the dealer) get to train him and continuing selling him.

              Drug dealers do this.

                He's sounding kinda desperate, like he's trying too hard to clear his name.

                  Bodybuilders such as I don't know LEE HANEY sell steroids to supplement there incomes. Holyfield was roiding without a doubt. I wonder if Haney and Holyfield had bible study after juicing up.

                    Consider this, if Tyson did take them when would he take them? what is the year(s) that everybody would likely believe?

                    Lets look at some quick facts:

                    Tyson was huge as a kid. If he was juicing to gain a few extra pounds, could he have just eaten more, lifted weights, or something else?
                    IF he did Juice, everybody in Tyson camp knew it because they were the one's paying.

                    Tyson KIDS ARE HUGE. Have anybody seen pictures of his kids? His girls are even big.
                    Tyson has some crazy genes that promote massive weight. His daughter has mentioned this on the Tyra Banks show according to an article.
                    This is also why Tyson would be 220 when fighting, and 250+ when not. His daughter said If My Father didn't workout like he did, he would be overweight and unhealthy as well.


                    But hey, the guy did like to smoke a lot of Pot and use ******* later on, so anything is possible. However, I did mention before that people with naturally high testosterone levels are supposedly more prone to using other drugs, and I am not talking about steroids.
                    Ex: My one friend is ripped and built, only plays baseketball. The kid ****s a ton of girls, smokes weed, drinks, just does so many things because he is wired and needs to do something all the time. He likes to mix drink and weed to calm himself down before bed.

                    Notice Weed is huge among pro athletes.

                      If these guys really didnt take roids then lawsuits would be being filed left and right.
