Is Mike Tyson the only fighter ever who's Prime ended in his early 20s?

He didn't exactly lose his prime in the ring, he started doing coke and ****ing whores non stop then went to jail for 3 years and that was that.

I think it's more a case of being a one trick pony and after a while the top fighters figured out how he could be beat - and a few did it. His lifestyle also caught up with him.

Nowadays even when you're already in your mid-20's fans would say he still young doe. He shouldn't be rushed doe. He not ready yet doe. Then they're fed unlimited number of bums and gets exposed upon stepping up a notch. Which is sad because instead of finding out early if they have it or not, it would be too late to change course.

It's kind of incredible to me that his prime seemed to be from about 16-22 and then he was finished as a fighter.

Anyone else who peaked that young?

"finished" is a strong word. He peaked and then post prison in the mid 90s he was still a top 10 heavyweight, he just wasnt good enough to be lineal champ when you had guys like Lennox, Holyfield and Bowe competing.

There are far worst cases, theres guys like Audley Harrison and David Price that were hyped to hell but their careers never took off.

End of the day Tyson is usually ranked outside the top 10 heavyweights of all time and somewhere around #15, it is what it is, he just looked unbeatable for a few years.

Andrew Tate said once you reach the top you are either a dork or you just go off ****ing women and party. You can’t do either.


he chose women and parties. So did mcgregor. So did Tyson. Etc. they all peaked in their 20’s and the. Tapered off


guys like Lennox. Wlad. Bivol. Beter and Usyk are indeed dorks. Their women aren’t dimes either. Just someone they love.

they are in love with their job so they keep going

Nah, Wilfred Benitez actually was done at 25, really done.

At least Tyson could show flashes of his former self at times against guys like Frank Bruno & Bruce Seldon

Benitez after 25 was just gone, so sad.
