Mike Tyson Is Fat Now [The Camera Adds 65 Pounds]

I don’t know why… but I didn’t see this one coming.
Mike may be crazy, ill tempered, foul mouthed, and dabbling in drugs, but he’s never been fat. Maybe it’s because he’s been on a series of dinner tours where he also does public speaking and meet-n-greets.
I still got love for Mike though, even though we’re about to hear 10,000 corny jokes about him eating peoples ears off. The good news in all of this is he won’t be in the ring embarrassing himself with Evander Holyfield anytime soon.

[...] Mike Tyson hasn’t faught in years, and he’s fat now. You can’t roll off the couch and decide to knuckle up with someone who’s been training [...]
Tyson looks like your average overweight, although healthy, grandfatherly, former boxer,ex- would be Ramrod style New York pimp. I can imagine him as a greeter at some exclusive Ney York Mafia eatery. Or a Deacon for Harlem Atlah Church, The Honorable Pastor David Manning. Think of Joe Louis in his lateer years.
mike tyson was never a really good fighter…he just happen to come along when there was no real Heavyweight Champ….Evander kicked his butt (knocked him out) and Evander was really a light heavyweight. tyson looked like a little girl fighting a man when he got in the ring with l. lewis… I really enjoyed watching him get his butt kicked that night…lol

WOW cant believe he looks really fat now.Guess he dont train anymore. There is only 1 undisputed heavyweight Champ in the world!!! LENNOX LEWIS!!! Show some love and respect to the RASTAMAN!!!
How dumb… Thomas Boviar writes that Holyfield was really a “light heavyweight” - first off, dick-brain, do some research at least, he was a crusierweight, he was NEVER a pro Light Heavyweight… and he’s KNOWN for being a HEAVYWEIGHT, he only fought around 20 fights out of 53 fights at Crusierweight. And Mike Tyson was never really a good fighter? Look at the rankings in ‘84 to ‘85 and you’ll see Larry Holmes, Michael Spinks, Trevor Berbick, Pinklon Thomas, Tryrell Biggs, Tony Tubbs, Carl WIliams, Bonecrusher Smith, Renaldo Snipes, Frank Bruno, and TYSON BEAT ALL THOSE GUYS, I just mentioned 10 guys all in the top ten, and he beat all of them in the 80’s, and out of the 10 I named right there, he KO’d 9 of them, if Holyfield is so great why did Mike Tyson fight A BETTER VERSION of Larry Holmes, and Tyson became the only guy to knock him out in only 4 rounds, people say, “he was over the hill” well, years later Holyfield fought him and couldn’t KO him, he went 12 rounds with him. How does Riddick Bowe go all the rounds with Tony Tubbs, who was a great fighter year after Tyson KO’d him in two rounds>? Tyson was the best heavyweight EVER from 1986 to 1990, after that, he was a shell of himself but don’t forget he KO’d Razor Ruddock YEARS before Lennox did, and Tyson would have KILLED Lennox Lewis in the 80’s, hey, they’re the same age, where was Lennox? He was still an amateur, who admits to NOT wanting to fight Tyson, Tyson was also the youngest heavyweight champ EVER, at 20 years old, younger than Ali, or, for an ignorant person like yourself, it’s “Clay” in the books. Tyson, before 1990 would have definitely EASILY KO’d Lennox, who got KO’d by guys like Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman. Tyson lost to one Bum, Buster, Tyson was out of shape and didn’t care, the only guy that would aways have Tyson’s number was Holyfield, and Tyson’s losses are Douglas, Holyfield, and Lennox, which, if a decade eaarlier would have been different but that’s not such a bad record of losing considering that Lennox got beat by McCall and Rahman in his prime. Rahman just got beat by a former Super Middlweight in James Toney. I don’t count Tyson’s two last fights, he was OUT OF IT, he didn’t even wanna be there, he lost to two LOSERS. But, Look at Ali, he lost his last two fights and that was embarrassing, but no on mentins that. And, Tyson lost over four years of boxing from Prison when he DID NOT rape that girl, and then he bit Holyfield’s ears cuz Holyfield was head-butting him and he only did it after Evander cut him with his head, my freind never believed me till I showed the fight to him, now he sees it different, GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT, THE BEST HEAVYWEIGHT IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW IS “CHRIS ARREOLA” - he’d out that bum “Stiff-Ko” now… hey, I’m putting up a new boxing site on myspace, check it out the URL is boxinglogikal
he ’s as fat as the penguin in Batman
Bob E needs a hobby deusche bag
Tyson suffered from a bout of terminal stupidity at a critical point in his career. At a point where it looked as if, by his training and boxing, he was going to topple Marciano’s record, he made the blunder which made him the has-been he is. Which is–namely–taking on Don King as his manager.
It’s a shame really. I saw him fight, back in the 80s. He cut through his opponents as if they were little girls. He dominated and beat them. For a few fights, after the switch, he coasted on D’Amato’s training. Then, in the ultimate karmic payback, he got stopped by a real ham and egger named Buster Douglas.
I can’t look at Tyson without thinking he’s one of boxing’s true tragic figures. Akin to Joe Lewis working as a doorman at Caesar’s Palace. His nascent boxing greatness was eclipsed by the only thing that really could undo him, his world class stupidity. The pounds of blubber is simply icing on that pathetic cake.
No surpise here, he’s an old retired boxer now, no more training or dieting. Tyson was the greatest in his time, and might have been considered one of the best ever if not for those 4 years he spent in prison (which put a serious dent in his career). If his money wasn’t so funny he would’ve never continued fighting as long as he did, but that was his fault.
To CP… what is a “deusche bag?” I know what a “douche” bag is, but not a “deusche” bag. And I do have a hobby, boxing, and collecting matches and reading, I did a semester in college on the art of pugilism. That’s why I laugh when you guys say stuff, cause none of you know what you’re talking about. Did you see that dreadful fight, Wlad Klitshcko vs Rahman? Even when Klitschko dominates he’s boring. Lennox would have killed that dude, any champ would have beaten Wladimir. And I feel for a lot of fighter, but not Mike Tyson, he’s the “biggest” fight of all time. And he backed that up by saying, “Check the cash register” — I’ll recommend a really cool, easy read, it’s short, and really interesting, it’s called “FACING TYSON” - this guy goes and interviews, now, in the present, all of Mike Tyson’s opponents, Not “all” but a lot of them, and they all say the same thing, “He hit the hardest I’ve ever been hit”
Peace
Bob
I totally agree with Bob E.Noone ever mentions Holyfields dirty fighting and headbutt/rubbing.Tyson screwed up when he got rid of Rooney and stopped fighting with his bob & weave and peek-a-boo thing.He stopped jabbing and he had absolutley noone in his corner to tell him what he was doing wrong.I think Jesse Feurgoson exposed some things about Tyson that he never really corrected.He did leave his chin out too much and when his speed slowed, that’s when then chin took clean hits.But in his prime right after Berrbick he was the best ever.
I’d also like to add, I bet his weight gain is due to pills (anti depressants) He looks puffy like Elvis…some meds will do that to you bad.
WBC title - (31-4-1) Berbick TKO 2 (youngest heavyweight champ ever at 20 years old)
WBC/WBA - (19-5) Smith W UD 12
(29-1-1) Thomas - TKO 6
WBC/WBA/IBF (35-0) Tucker UD 12
(15-0) Biggs - TKO 7
(48-2) Holmes - TKO 4
(24-1) Tubbs - TKO 2
Linear title - (31-0) Spinks - KO 1
(32-2) Bruno - TKO 5
(22-2) Williams - TKO 1
That is IN A ROW, the whole division, look what he did to it, then he took an easy fight vs a 29-4-1 Douglas, Vegas did not even put up odds, ONE place did - 42-1 odds, biggest sports upset
after that, though
26-1 Stewart - TKO 1
24-1-1 Ruddock - TKO 7
24-2-1 Ruddock - UD 12, knocked him down 3 times
Then it was time for Holyfield, but Iron Mike went to prison, when he got out…
WBC title - 40-4 Bruno TKO 3
WBA title - 33-3 Seldon KO 1
Then, before the next title, an easy fight with Holyfield, where people feared for Holyfield’s life, and we know what happened in that fight, and the next, but look, even after that, he beat guys like Botha, took him out in five, Savarese in 38 seconds, Golota quit after 2, mike came up positive for marijuana so it didn’t count, then Lennox, he was not in shape, when he was young and quick he weighed 215, for Lennox he was like 240, and he hurt Lennox in the first, he won the first round, then he kayoed a decent Ettienne in one round. But then he fought a guy who wasn’t scared and he got KO’d, you could tell he was a three round fighter now, and in his next fight, after five, I think, he quit, he was winning, but he quit, he didn’t want it anymore.
Look out for the next good heavyweight champ, not Wladimir or Vitali Stiff-ko, check out CHRIS ARREOLA - “The Nightmare” he can punch on any angle
Mike Tyson is truly one of the greatest of all time,one off hardest punchers ever in the history of boxing.As far as everything else is concerned: He’s only human.
I agree that Mike Tyson’s downfall was “Don
King” devil’s spawn. Mike was definately no match for King in business or he would never have let him become his manager. The man’s a master at underhandedness and
unsavory buasiness practices/tactics. He’s
just low. And before Mike knew anything, he was screwed big time. At any rate, Mike was once an awesone fighter and I for one was glued to the tv/ppv everytime he fought (no matter how brief) along with all my family and friends. We’d make an event of it and everyone was satisfied because Mike always delivered. I’m just sorry he didn’t manage his money better. Anyway, Bob E. you are very knowledgeable about boxing stats and I enjoyed reading your posts and I will be checking out MySpace’s
‘boxinglogikal’ shortly to keep up…PEACE!
It’s funny how Gen X, which I consider the beginning of the nineties to around 2000 something, thinks that Mike Tyson was “Their” champ. From 1985 to 1990 Mike Tyson went 39-1 with 35 KO’s, (before he went to prison he was 42-1, although his next fight would be against Holyfield, who I feel would have always beaten Tyson, some people just have your number) So from 1991 to the end of his career in 2005, Mike Tyson went 11 - 5 with 9 KO’s! 11-5???? Yup, plus the 2 no-contests he should have had as victories, after Golota quit against him he came up positive for marijuana, and when he hit Orlin Norris after the bell in the first round, albeit a cheap shot he could have got DQ’d on, Orlin claimed to suffer an “ankle injury” - Mike said, “He knew what was coming” - I guess the all time two biggest heavyweight champs of all time will be Ali and Tyson, so who would win? Hmmm… Tyson admitted to relating to Sonny Liston the most, who was a thug, scary, and KO’d people, but a young Cassius Clay out-boxed him and made him look bad and Liston quit, their second fight Clay was now Ali, and it was the most obviously “thrown” fight ever, to me, there’s no proof, but I’m positive that Liston took a dive in the first round - you may have heard of “The phantom punch” - that was it. But, Tyson was a LOT quicker and more athletic than Liston, and Tyson didn’t have odd ties with the mafia and out of the ring trouble until “AB” - “After Buster” — Tyson was quick as hell, I could see Ali out-boxing him and frustrating him, and I could see the Iron Mike of ‘86 to get rid of him in ONE round. Check this out…. Ali was suspended from boxing cuz he didn’t go to Vietnam, he was off for three years but still was considered the champ, undefeated, the linear champ, still, but Joe Frazier was the undefeated guy with all the titles, so it was title for title, champ versus champ and it was a great fight. Now, Michael Spinks beat Larry Holmes when Holmes was 48-0 and then beat him again (Tyson KO’d the 48-2 Holmes in 4… years later, Holmes went the distance with Evander, only ONCE Ko’d — by Tyson) But Spinks didn’t fight the mandatories, took time off and was stripped of the titles, but was still the “linear” undefeated champ, but Mike Tyson had all the belts and was the champ, title for title, Champ versus Champ AGAIN… this time, it ended in 91 seconds and Tyson looked at his corner and shrugged. It has been said that the Mike Tyson from ‘86 to ‘90 was the best heavyweight ever, he was always bad, though, he almost didnt’ win the title at 20, it almost got canceled cuz Tyson had a bad STD, I think Gonorrhea, but they went ahead with the fight cuz that’s what Cus wanted, but, The Heavyweight Division will be getting interesting with David Haye, Kevin Johnson, and my fav, if he can keep his weight well, Chris Arreolla can beat this Wladimir Stiff-ko that wouldn’t have lasted 30 seconds with Iron Mike. I like Arreola cuz in two fights, against decent guys in Wills and Tann, he had the fight won, but in the last round, went for the KO and got it, he wanted a KO, he also then fought fellow undefeated prospect and probably a heavyweight that will be around in Chazz Witherspoon, he beat him in three, he got dropped his last fight but he was overweight and didin’t take it seriosuly, he KO’d him when he got up, also there’s Eddie Chambers and Alex Povetkin, so I think it’ll be… Arreola, K.Johnson, Povetkin, Haye, Chambers, Witherspoon, M. Scott instead of W. Klitschko, V. Klitschko, Chagaev, Maskaev, Peter, and all those bums, I mean, the division is so bad we still got Rahman, Toney, Ruiz, Maskaev (he’s in the top ten!) — so it will get better…. and Pacquioa don’t need Hatton or Mayweather, now he’s got Mosley
Peace
And BoxingLogical is done for now, not enough interest
yes mike tyson is over weight.at mr, chows who was his girlfriend.that was on his arm?
Wow, first of all “Bob-E” is 100% accurate, Mike Tyson was at one point of his career (1980s) upstoppable, in lack of better terms .. “his style WAS inpectuous, his defence WAS impregnable .. he wanted holyfeilds heart, hes gonna eat his children”
BUT by the looks of him these days the only things he has been eating is McDonalds .. but im sure he will get into shape and fight the fight, hell for 30 mill i would fight both of them at the same time .. but in all seriousness if Tyson wants this he’s going to have to train his ass off and pull the 1980s out of his ass because his days are long over, he should stop boxing now before he completly ruins his legacy.
And btw, Mercer vs TIM SYLVIA in a boxing match .. and for those who dont know who Sylvia is; he’s a washed up 6′8 265 pound bum, that at one point was UFC’s heavyweight champion.
Mike Tyson ain’t EVER gonna fight again, he didn’t even wanna fight after Lennox Lewis, he realized he was done, look at all the commotion about him fighting Clifford Ettiene, he disappeared from training, shows up with a tattoo on his face, but Ettiene has a glass jaw, nice record but he lost to Fres Oquendo who dropped him like seven times when they were both undefeated, hell, he fought to a draw with Botha, Botha knocked him down, too, so Tyson knew, I can go a couple rounds, I’ll catch him, but then he fought Danny Williams and he had just enough heart to beat a guy who did not want to be there, then it was “oh, he hurt his leg” they find the biggest bum on earth, Kevin McBride, and he was winning on the cards but quits the fight, he just don’t have it — it’s over, he fought professionally 58 times, and that’s impressive since he was in prison over three years and suspended for a year, his Kayo percentage is impressive, too, 50 wins, 44 Ko’s, 6 losses, five of them KO, one DQ, 0 Draws, with 2 No Conests he should have as wins, against Orlin Norris and Andrew Golota. But who cares, 50-6 ain’t so bad, considering he lost his last two, he was 50-4, but hey, Ali lost his last two, and Evander is now 42-10-2 HA his record is that of a journeyman, that guy has to be stopped.
Mike Tyson still remains the champ to his fans. He handles himself very good as a true sports man in his appearance to the public.
lol wut
too bad he could not go out in style
Why would you say Tyson did not go out in style? He basically quit in his last two fights, which did in fact screw up his record, cause before that he was undefeated, still, in non title fights, but he was old and done, and overweight, he was like 240-something, when he won the title he was 215, if that, now’adays he wouldn’t even be a heavyweight, he was five eleven, two fifteen, that’s SMALL, and Ali went out the same way, he got stopped by Larry Holmes and then lost a decision to Trevor Berbick, who Tyson took out in two. Look at most great champions, and they all go out the same, from Joe Louis to George Foreman to Holmes to Spinks, what the real joke is is that they let Holyfield still box, he RUINED his record, he’s 42-10-2 now, does that sound like a champion record? Yet he says he’ll be the undisputed champ, ha. He had ONE thing, he had Tyson’s number, any time, any place, Holyfield would beat Tyson, but Holyfield lost to Bowe, Moorer, a decision over Foreman, a deicision over Holmes and Steward, Tyson took out Holmes in four OVER FIVE YEARS EARLIER, and he took out Steward in thirty seconds. But Styles make fights, let’s talk about the upcoming heavies, Heavyweight will be good soon, all these former Soviet bums will be gone,like Ibragimov, Chagaev, Valuev, and the two “Stiff-ko’s” — we got David Haye coming in, and I think the next real heavyweight champ is Chris Arreola, I’ve been watching him for a few years now, he’s got a weight problem, oh well, Also “Fast” Eddie Chambers from Philly just beat Sam Peter, a guy that floored Wladimir Stiff-ko three times, Fast Eddie also beat Brock, and only loss was a close one to supposed phenon Alexander Povetkin. And Kevin Johnson, a heavy without a punch, is the quickest, and slickest heavywieght I’ve seen in a while, so look for the future… Arreola, Haye, Povetkin, Chambers, Johnson, there’s five for ya, and I don’t see why they can’t get to the Klitschko’s, what’s Wladimir gonna do vs Arreola, Wlad has been dropped by Corrie Sanders, lol, Lamon Brewster, lol, DaVarryl Williamson, ROFL, and he got stopped by Ross Purrity who has like twenty five losses. What’s he gonna do when Arreola, who weighs more than him and is naturally bigger, not taller, but a big mass KO puncher that can punch from ANY angle. Did you see the horrible fight on ESPN, Vitali Klitschko vs Juan Carlos Gomez? In history, the Stiff-ko’s will be a joke.
Bob
The dirty little secret with Holyfield beating Tyson twice is because Holyfield was juicing on HGH. No doubt about it. He got better with age and that is not possible with a boxer. He bought his drugs under the name “Evan Fields.”
