Tyson’s height was seen as his weakness even before his transition to professional boxing.

When this enormous and intimidating opponent attempted to mock his measurements, Tyson responded like a true gentleman, assuring that it wouldn’t be an issue once they stepped into the ring.

Welcome, in today’s video I’ll take you with me through the chapter of boxing’s golden history where Mike Tyson used what many considered a “disadvantage” to destroy a true giant in the ring.

I hope you’re comfortable because this new adventure begins right here.

While today the ideal heavyweight fighter’s figure has evolved to position itself under the standard of Tyson Fury, for example.

In the times of Iron Mike, the seed had already been planted that a boxer’s height should be a remarkable aspect if they were expected to be intimidating in the ring.

After being rejected by the Olympic team for his measurements, Tyson decided to turn what many pointed out as “his weakness” into his strongest weapon to start fighting against opponents taller than himself, even before becoming the youngest champion in history.

You probably remember how Tyson dominated Sammy Scaff, David Jaco, or the imposing Cuban José Ribalta.

The ARROGANT GIANT who ANGERED Mike Tyson, and REGRETTED it!
