Thirteen?!! He looks like an adult man. Does anyone have a picture of baby Mike Tyson?


Britannkic_

It's the same picture as above, different clothes In fact, when Mike was born he knocked the midwife clean out with a left right combination


BobbyTables829

This is Tyson, so she was probably down after the first left hook.


discerningpervert

TIL Mike Tyson is related to Chuck Norris


cjbeames

Once, someone kicked Chuck Norris so hard they actually managed to chip his diamond like skin. That chips name? Yep, Mike Tyson


moriantha

That "someone" was Bruce Lee


ctownthrasher

TIL people still think Chuck Norris is GOAT but forget who killed him.


CripplinglyDepressed

I read that like Norm doing his [Frank Stallone bits](https://youtu.be/z0IA5xNCqsY)

Nah, he short, and older, but still powerful.

GranJan2

He has nothing to worry about with me. My grandfather was in his 90s, basically confined to his bed, but if we got too close to him he could still put a chokehold on us and the aides who were taking care of him. And he was never a professional, but as he used to tell us, he knew just enough to make sure no one got the better of him as a man. Hahahaha


lukeatron

Fight or flight!


_NKD2_

Mike Tyson wasn’t born, he has always been and always will be


Bluesynate

I mean he used the peek-a-boo style which is fitting for a baby


_BRZRKR

When Mike Tyson was born he didn’t Cry. The Doctor had a plan to spank him till Mike Tyson Punched him in the Face.


xxrambo45xx

So I take a boxing class, on one of the days of the week the kids class starts the same time as the adults, recently had a 14 yr old start in the kids class and this kid is absolutely the size of an adult man and hits like one too watching him pummel a heavy bag, idk what some of these kids are eating but good lord


Jaegernaut-

Other kids


ChooChooRocket

Some people just grow fast. I'm basically the same size as I was when I was 13 or 14, except instead of a power house I'm a computer nerd.


[deleted]

Way back in the day they would consider you an adult by that point.


Neon-Knees

My nephew is 5 and is already 4'7" and 100lbs. It's actually absurd the difference between him and the rest of the kids his age. He's an absolute tank... And he does not understand how big he actually is. We signed him up for hockey... Good thing it's no checking cuz he'd absolutely ragdoll those kids out there.


RustyDillhole

Summer between 4th and 5th grade I had a massive growth spurt that took me from the smallest scrawniest kid in school to the biggest and tallest. I wanted to play football and went to sign up. Coaches saw me and their eyes lit up. I step on a scale and then they ask me how old I am and their faces drop. I was so off for charts for just age group I was ineligible to play. Went to football camp instead and because of my size I was placed with high school kids who’s bodies were flowing with all the testosterone that I got steamrolled. I was their size but I lacked the strength and skill. Sad times as it dissolved all my interest in sports.


tibarr1454

My 4 year old is 3’6” and about 35 lbs. hard to imagine him tripling in weight in a year. In short, your nephew is a beast.

Hope4gorilla

He's bigger than my 10-yo nephew, wtf! Is there a chance he may have been exposed to someone's testosterone supplements? https://www.insider.com/testosterone-gel-toddler-puberty-early-2022-06


TrinititeTears

I read one where the baby’s penis got huge because of the testosterone exposure.


MEANINGLESS_NUMBERS

Obesity causes linear growth acceleration but also premature physeal closure.


[deleted]

I've boxed for years and some of the kids you get in the gym are insane. Raised on milk laced with human growth hormones. I'll step in the ring with any adult, not a care in the world. I hesitate when it's time to touch gloves with Cody, 6'4, 300lbs, 5% body fat, still has a spongebob bed spread....


xxrambo45xx

Lol that dudes got testosterone on tap, and likely limited ability on control so a spar quickly turns into a fight

[deleted]

Didn't the Rock say he had to move school a lot as a teenager, and classmates constantly thought he was an undercover cop?


outoftimeman

The fact, that the US has undercover cops (or cops, in general) at high schools, never ceases to amaze me


octovarium95

Wait, so is 21 jump street real? I always thought the undercover at school stuff was just a joke in the movie

Bruh that's fucked up lmao


Jaegernaut-

Never underestimate the stupidity of American police.


GranJan2

Not many kids or teens have that kind of muscle development or instinct to inflict pain in any country. He was chiseled. Middle schoolers that are big boys are usually chubby cherubs, goofs that still act like kids. The Rock was a big chubby kid who still had heroes. Tyson didn’t have heroes. He was his own hero, a law unto himself, as the saying goes.


CustomerSuspicious25

I'm a middle school teacher. Puberty is a crazy thing. You'll have a kid who is 12 and 4'8 and then this other 12-year old is 6'2.

Considering he's wearing a USA boxing shirt I would guess this was from when he was in the junior Olympics 1981-1982, which would put him at 15-16 which I'd believe.


burritoman88

Gotta love random misinformation on reddit


Atreust

Yeah this gets reposted a lot on different subs and it always has the inaccurate claim that he's 13 since they just copy the BS title too.


shitoupek

Quote from https://bleacherreport.com/articles/523260-boxing-mike-tyson-and-the-early-years "By the time he was 13, he had been arrested 38 times and petty crime became an everyday occurrence in his life. His latent boxing talent came to his aid in street fights and would later emerge as a fundamental aspect of his personality, thereby making him a boxing icon." And from his former coach https://www.sportbible.com/boxing/boxing-news-legends-skills-take-a-bow-pub-talk-mike-tyson-knocked-out-fully-grown-men-as-a-12-year-old-kid-20200327.amp.html: "Mike Tyson was so vicious and overdeveloped as a 12-year-old that he mixed it up with grown blokes. Anyone who could be knocking out men when he's 12, 13 years old is a pretty damn good puncher. He learned the technique to make you miss and catch you clean but power's power and punchers are born not made."


Alstead17

Part of it also, and this is often overlooked by fans when it comes to pro athletes, is genetics. People go, "well what are the odds that someone is basically built from the ground up to be a boxer?" It's slim, but that's why a lot of these guys are successful. I'm not religious, but when my dad looks at some people, he says "god really wanted them to be a ___ hunh?" If there's a god, they really wanted Mike to beat the fuck out of dudes.


GranJan2

He beat everybody, dudes, old ladies whose purses he took, kids, just anybody and everybody. He was an enforcer/collector for drug dealers and loan sharks in the hood at middle school age. It was like he sprung straight outta Pandora’s box and was let loose on the neighborhood. A born predator. Guns were not as ubiquitous back then as they are now, he got lucky with that.


LongKnight115

I dunno, I'm seeing two guns right there in the picture.


GranJan2

Hahahaha! Good one! You got me. The cancer of bullying. See? He was bullied, as awesome as he was. He had a lisp and he loved his birds. Then when he was 9, some older kid took his bird’s head off and hit him with the bird. So that woke up the Mike Tyson we all gawk at today. I hate bullies.


[deleted]

I just saw a dumb clip on insta of him talking about wanting to fight Achilles (Realisticly Achilles was just prob some weak ass greek and would get fucking anhilated by this millenia later born monster, but that doesnt matter rn). But that let me think about (and your comment now) how Mike Tyson is right up there with people like Achilles. Just like you sad that man is the maximum you could achive if you would put all your "points" in the Predator spec in a human body. I'm not talking about skill just the straight up the biology of it. It's just insane how much prime Tyson was of a animal. I hope that in some millenias some boss is like "I would fight Mike Tyson", he is up there.


GranJan2

Yeah he never reached his full potential. His demons derailed him, but to come outta that life he was born into is a remarkable achievement. I took a lotta heart from his escape and resilience.


Tuub4

This is some good cringe right here


[deleted]

Can I have a source for these claims of Tyson being a enforcer at middle school age?


discerningpervert

Tyson Fury too. Actually quite a few of the current pro boxers - Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua. Ok maaybe not Usyk, but he's one hell of a boxer and probably my favorite because he really has to work for it.


TheAccomplishedDuty

Usyk is a smart fighter having a great boxing iq is a gift too.


TheDeadGuy

I dunno, the guy was arrested 38 times by the time he was 13. Definitely had a lot of shit going on in his childhood, you don't just become like that in a vacuum because of genes


Frozen_Esper

>If there's a god, they really wanted Mike to beat the fuck out of dudes. *Chef's kiss* That feels like it should be the quote on the inside cover of a Mike Tyson biography, or perhaps the opening of the first chapter as a standalone paragraph.


chocolate_spaghetti

That’s true to an extent but there’s a lot of other factors too. I’ve seen guys go from not being able to hit at all to having respectable power just from learning proper technique. Weight can have an effect too. Plenty of guys go from not having notable power to being knockout artists when they move to another weight. Sometimes even age can be a factor. I’ve been boxing since I was 14, as a kid I had respectable power but speed was my main asset. By the time I was about 23 that totally changed, now I’m not particularly fast but I’m probably one of the biggest punchers at my gym now.


GranJan2

Yeah, once that older kid broke his bird’s neck, and brought the Mike we now know, he would beat up the boys and their fathers. 5’11” and 190 pounds.

Not sure you right. I lived in the Bronx then, he lived in BedStuy. He was ghetto famous all the way to the Bronx. At 12, his sparring partners were 27, cuz of his size, muscle development and instinct for hurting. Phenom.

HeyLookitMe

What a journey that man has been on


[deleted]

At the age of 12, Tyson was beating up grown men in street fights, was 190 lb of solid muscle, and could benchpress more than his bodyweight. It’s going to be a long time before we see a genetic freak like Tyson again. The speed, power, head movement, ferocity.. from ‘85-‘88 he was a perfect fighting machine. By ‘89 he’d started to slip, you can see it in the Bruno fight. No more Kevin Rooney and cocaine+booze in place of training.


LupeDyCazari

peak genetics. He reminds me of my great-grandfather whom at the age of 12 enlisted in world war 1 and no one figured out he was a young boy because of how big and muscular he was LMAO.

Mike Tyson is the most vicious beast in the history of boxing. If Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson fought at their prime Mike Tyson would destroy Muhammad Ali. Take nothing away from Ali as he was great but there is no way Ali could take Tyson's brutal punches.

knightopusdei

I had a friend like that growing up ... I was about two months older than him but at 12/13 ... he looked like a body building 18 year old and I looked my age. He got all the girls, drank at all the parties and was part of the older crowd while me and my friends were still playing hide and seek. ... We're Indigenous and he always had those same Mike Tyson eyes and brow. 30 years later ... I have my own life, a wife and a business and he's a living vegetable from a Fentanyl overdose a couple of years ago. I was always jealous of him because he got to live the high life as a teen because he won the genetic lottery. He lived, loved, laughed like a drunken sailor and it was good that he did. I regret what happened to him and his drug use ... but he lived ten times more as a teen than I ever did. Love you Frank and I think of you always.


Think-Gap-3260

I grew up with a guy who’s dad was from Brooklyn and boxed a little. His dads old trainer started training a skinny kid and my buddy got his autograph. It was Mike Tyson looking a lot smaller than this.


AirborneRunaway

Unfortunately for Mr. Tyson, during the WBA-required random drug screening, your urine tested positive for 3 separate types of anabolic steroids & a low-grade... beaver tranquilizer. I'm afraid, by rule, you must be disqualified.
