Hi there are always some good ad visors in sport clubs,

  You need to first of all check up your body health,,,,

just the experts in athlete healths can tell you if u are first of all qualified to be a boxer and what are the dangers for your health if there are any,

secondly you need a good   practice schedule,  to be on top of your   best time to   go for a match..  and good spirit for it which I'm sure u have,

and you also should remember its not end of the world if such a thing never happens,

every people in the world is unique,

and being like him doesn't mean you are the best, maybe you  can be better or u are already

but go for it

best of luck   but boxing  has danger for brain,,,, it s a big decision ,,,,,

Answer 5

I think im closer to that

Im 5'9 and 190......When I saw i was 190, i was like NO, PHUCKING, WAY!!......I went to my doctor and he said im not fat at all, im just big. So I think I can get close to his physical stats.

Answer 6

Definatley, you can have a build like him at that weight. Just tone up, Mike Tyson had a 5% body fat percentage in his prime, he was all muscle. I would tell you this, his ability to punch was probably 99.8% genetic, so don't take it for granted that you will be able to punch like him just because you have his same thickset build. If you want to learn boxing, just go to your local gym, YMCA, or even a recreational park, they always have great programs.

Answer 7

your idol, my idol is oj simpson.

Answer 8

Find another idol.  No you won't be able to duplicate Mike's physical talents, Mike was over 200 lbs at the age of 16.  You are obviously too sane to pattern yourself after Mike, normalcy has disqualified you.  When you mature a little you will look at Mike through wiser eyes.

Answer 9

You're likely heavy for your age, something you want to guard against. Weight works against you in boxing unless you're a flat-out bomber, and bombers do get hit.

Mike was a body in a bottle. Genetics may have played into it to some degree.

The key to Mike was scary psychology. He was an intimidating guy before he got into the ring. He beat most of his guys before the first bell.

Mike is a fighter who impressed many. He had two-handed bombs and speed, plus opponents were often scared of him.

Those that were not afraid of him, found that they could out box him, using height and reach. Learn from that.

As a person, Mike was a flawed person. You need to recognize that as well. Some of what he was, you don't want.

He was a very rare fighter and he will be very hard to duplicate. Be your own man and draw from the best of those you respect.

Answer 10

To reach his physical level yea. to reach his physical skills no. no chance in a life time..its close to impossible u won't be able to punch as hard as him. even if u do get to that stage u won't have that foot speed he had being 220 slows u down unless ur genetically gifted u can't do it.its never to late to learn boxing if u like it though.

Answer 11

Tysin used to bench 250 when he was 15, he had natural power, theres many stronger people but they dont punch like him
