What type of physique does Prime Mike Tyson have? Is there a name for his type of physique?

[Oliverlogan263]

In his prime, he was 5 foot 11 and weighed about 218 pounds.

Ectomorph

Mesomorph

Endomorph

Probably similar to Brock Lesnar's.. Meso-Endomorph.. He looks like he's natural stocky, but can build muscle very easily.. Of course he probably had some help from the PEDS as well.. But genetics definitely play a role..

Was thinking the same as meso-endo blend. Getting to over 30 BMI while that lean at such a young age suggests to me someone who can put on mass even faster than meso. Also his bone structure like his wrists looks a bit thicker than meso but longer than endo.

@GuyAnswersGirls123 Yes sir that's the perfect way to describe and measure it.. Usually the risk are good indicators..

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

The man's a total beast. I always thought meso-endo is ideal for power athletes that need to deal with some degree of cutting like heavyweight fighters, then endo for heavyweight power athletes that don't need to cut much at all. I'm unfortunately on the opposite end being ecto-meso.

When eighteen-year-old Mike Tyson turned pro Mar.6,1985 with a first-round knockout of Puerto Rican Hector Mercedes, the announcers said the five-ten,214-pounder had a "butcher block" body. Even then, Tyson was almost literally armoured in muscle.

At eighteen, your favourite (?) Canadian lad was five-nine,135 pounds or about 80 pounds lighter than Tyson at the same age.

@handsomelad70 Besides being built like a tank, I always wondered if his relatively short reach (even relative to his shorter height at 5'10) might have contributed to the devastating power of his punches. It seems to me just intuitively like shorter arms might help to transfer more power from the body into a punch.

[handsomelad70]

Tyson, unlike Lesnar, probably didn't use PEDs.

[handsomelad70]

@GuyAnswersGirls123 Perhaps, but amongst the little lads, five-nine-and-one-half Alexis Arguello was pound-for-pound nearly as hard a puncher as Tyson.(Arguello fought from 122 to 140 pounds, winning World Boxing Council titles at Featherweight-126 lb., Super Featherweight-130 lb., and Lightweight-135 lb., but twice failing to cop Aaron Pryor's World Boxing Association's Super Lightweight-140 lb. diadem.)

@handsomelad70 Tyson is the greatest!

[handsomelad70]

@GuyAnswersGirls123 Tyson was the greatest teenage heavyweight ever, but because he ditched his manager Jim Jacobs for DUNG King, and his original trainer, Constantine "Cus" D'Amato, died just before Tyson's 1986 title fight victory (marrying gold-digger Robin Givens and being a sybarite didn't help), plus his frame's early maturation and the series of clown "trainers" letting him neglect his once-vast defensive and ring generalship skills cost Tyson his chance of perhaps being the big boys' GOAT.
