Which other boxer had a 2-yr by age 21/22 like Mike Tyson?

[BangEM]

Mike Tyson is the only boxer in history people make argument for that he peaked by 21/22 and had a 2-yr peak.

Boxers generally peak in their late 20s to early 30s.

So did Mike Tyson really peak in the 80s or was he just flash with no substance that folded once the opposition got stiffer and he met people that could punch back?

[Larry the boss]

He lost discipline and went away from the style that made him special...His head movement vanished, his combos left and he stopped turning opponents..He started standing in front of people and moving in straight lines throwing 1 shot at a time

The man is the epitome of 90% mental 10% physical.

He lost all purpose after his trainer/father figure passed away.
And his boxing career and ability was on a steep/noticeable decline.

When switched on and focused, he was a hard fight for any of the ATG heavyweights.
If he trapped you in the corner and let rip, there’s not too many fighters who could get out of that whirlwind.

I think his mental temperament would hold him back from beating some fighters.
He got flustered and sloppy with fighters that fought dirty or pushed him back. (Even noticeable during old sparring clips)

Mondo Ramos had a career with a similar trajectory, unfortunately.

Mike Tyson did not peak at 21/22 years of age, you cannot state that? Somebody has peaked, when they get thrown in jail during the ascendant stage of their career 'The truth is the boxing world never really saw Mike Tyson's peak'. It was not as if his body suddenly gave up, which prevented him from training 'Tyson went to jail, started doing drugs and not dedicating entirely to boxing etc'.

If Usain Bolt in 2008 suddenly was thrown in jail after winning the Olympics, you cannot categorically state that he was at his peak 'Mike Tyson during the late 80's was a fighter on the rise, no boxer reaches their absolute peak when they are a late teenager'.

Muhammad Ali was never given the opportunity to reach his peak ether, just like Mike Tyson.

Note Mike Tyson did not reach his peak at 21/22 years of age, he was never given the opportunity to reach his peak as his career was derailed by his own actions and bad lifestyle choices.

But Ali still beat the greats of his era when he came out prison. Tyson didn’t and got knocked out.

Good comeback h0mo

At least he was the one who caused anxiety attacks to his opponents rather than having one (Anthony Joshua)

Hell Yh by turning into a cannibal in the ring and biting people’s ears off. LMAOOO

Tyson is like Harlem Globetrotters. More of a gimmick than a boxer.

George Collins - He had a fantastic amateur record of 77 wins from 78 fights, turning pro at the age of 17. Collins then racked up 35 straight wins over a 4 year period, stepped up to championship level. His first loss came in the hands of Gary Jacobs a former Scottish welterweight who beat Collins over 12 for the Commonwealth title.

Roberto Balado Mendez - He was the most promising super heavyweight talent ever that never became pro at all because of a train accident. He won every tournament he ever joined, olympic gold, 3 times amateur champion of the world, he never got silver or bronze, always gold.
