[xrhythmxnxbluesx]

didnt someone already post this... but yea... tyson was a beast back than... hate em or love em you gotta watch him fight... always comes out swinging dun matta who he's facing...

always comes out swinging dun matta who he's facing...

No he didn't! Tyson never thew wild punches back then, not ever, he placed his punches more.

[JUYJUY]

how he ever lost is beyond me...

Well the only way he was going to lose was if he beat himself, because nobody else was going to beat him.

You had to of lived in that era to of realised what the Tyson era was all about, if your under 30 you won't understand, the guy was seen as superhuman, a king yet only a kid, he appeared invincible because he'd never even been close to being hurt let alone knocked down. The excitement that Tyson brang us was incredible.

Obviously Tyson had a lot of problems away from the ring before the Douglas fight - he was using a lot of anti-depressants, drinking heavily and getting high with Japanese **********s the night before the Douglas fight. He didn't train right Post-Rooney, he didn't prepare properly for Douglas. It remains by far the biggest unexpected upset ever in boxing, nothing even comes close. It was just outrageously unbelievable what happened that night in Tokyo, because Tyson was genuinely seen as invincible!

[Truth]

Tyson was the ****ing man, i wish prime tyson was here today.

I love watching some of his old fights, he did look invicible at one point.

Sorry I meant Robin Givens not Desiree Washington, but anyway their both bitches.

one thing was left out. Tyson's favorite food was Captain crunch, which Rooney let him eat by the box since it would fill him up. (read in a book)

Can I ask who is this Kevin Rooney guy everyone keeps talking abouT?!

How did he affect Mike Tysons career?

[dangerousity]

Up until he fired Kevin Rooney in 1988, his ONLY diet was steak, pasta and fruit juice. How's that for discipline?

Daily Regime (7 days a week):
5am: get up and go for a 3 mile jog
6am: come back home shower and go back to bed (great workout for those huge legs of his)
10am wake up: eat oatmeal
12pm: do ring work (10 rounds of sparring)
2pm: have another meal (steak and pasta with fruit juice drink)
3pm: more ring work and 60 mins on the exercise bike (again working those huge legs for endurance)
5pm: 2000 sit-ups; 500-800 dips; 500 press-ups; 500 shrugs with a 30kg barbell and 10 mins of neck exercises
7pm: steak and pasta meal again with fruit juice (orange i think it was)
8pm: another 30 minutes on the exercise bike
then watch TV and then go to bed.

Just wondering, why get up, start exercise and go back to bed? Im usually fired up after an exercise and wouldnt fall asleep so quickly. Not to mention 2-3hrs of sleep wont do much for me, lol.

The diet is crazy and dont see why it has to be same food all the time. Surely theres other food out there that would give same ingredients but different flavour. Whats wrong with chicken?
