    Do you think Mike Tyson took steroids in his prime?

    Did Mike Tyson and the top heavyweight boxers take steroids or any other performance enhancers?
    I think he might have taken testosterone. How else can he be so huge, lean and hit that fast. don't forget all the top boxers of his era earned millions and would have easily had access to steroids and masking agents

    Either way, still one of the greatest knock out artists and was exciting to watch

    Nope, he is just huge! Got clips of him training when he was 15 and he looked very big!

      He took roids at a very young age too which is why it stunted his growth and made his voice like that.

      I’m talking 14-15

      This is also why he peaked so early and had half the shelf life that someone like Holyfield did.

      Holyfield took roids late. He matured and grew as a man then he took roids.


      So when he met Tyson who was already over his roid peak but Holyfield was in his roid prime

        Tyson was apparently almost 200 pounds at age 13 and could beat up grown men. Mike is a physical phenom.

            With how big he was as a kid I seriously doubt it. Can't think of any other 13 year old that weighed more than grown men.

              Mike is pretty candid about his past nowadays, he has said in an interview recently that he didn’t but would probably have if he had the opportunity. It was the early days for roofs in sports, mostly a bodybuilding thing then

                Mike was known for being a physical freak even at an early age but I think he later admitted to taking anabolic steroids.
