How Strong Is Mike Tyson

Tyson lifted strong, I think 450-500 lb. on the bench, but his mental strength was limited and even physically a lot of his opponents proved themselves to be stronger. I'd say overall he had slightly above average strength for a modern heavyweight. I'd rate it 6/10.

Tyson is very strong physically but he has lost his mental strength
a long time ago.

With 16" arms and a backround of non weight training its very frightning to me that he is that stong. Thats gotta make body builders very thrustrated and jealous

Actually Mike was very ineffective inclinches. Or was he just clinch lazy. Anyway I saw him manhandled by so many mediocre fighters in clinches it probably shows that he was not very strong(physically) fighter.

Don't get me wrong, Tyson has a great physique and I'm sure he can lift a lot of weight but lifting isn't the end all of strength. I knew several people in HS who were larger than me and lifted more and yet I could still pushed them around. I simply had more natural, functional "man strength" than them.
