Mike Tyson’s bench?
Considering the amount of beef he packs on he’s frame, the muscularity
of he’s physique, the fact that Boxers don’t train for strength, like a
bodybuilder, or powerlifter would, I dare say Tyson’s max bench press
would probably be somewhere in the upper 300 lbs.
Anybody ever heard any numbers on it?

Before you buy.

BENCH,begging for dimes.....!!!!

I agree that somewhere in the 350-400 range sounds reasonable.
Personally, I'd gravitate to the lower end of that range. Tyson didn't
look to be as strong in the upper body as Holyfield when they fought.
As an AAU powerlifter who realizes the REAL meaning of strength, let's get off
this BENCH PRESS strength once and for all, and tell me how much either you or
HE (especially HE) could SQUAT or DEADLIFT. And PLEASE do me a favor, and
don't come back at me with a totally PHONY reply! If you try telling me that
he can deadlift 1,000 lb., then hey...lol At LEAST the guy would finally be
THE best at something, as no one I've ever heard of has been able to pull the
big half ton yet!

this intractable pain is your LOVE for me... <smile>*****

"The harder you train in the gym the less you bleed in the ring"
How ya doing, you pencil neck geek? Ya want some hoochies? Them freaks
want to get funky like a monkey, baby.
A medium sized bodybuilder (220 lbs) can be expected to bench close to
500 lbs, but to expect the same numbers from other semi-muscular
athletes is often asking too much.
Buster Douglas in 1990 was 6.4, and weighed 245, but only managed 375
bench.
Mark Kerr is 6.1, and weighed 255 yet only did 440 or less.
Then there's harcore bodybuilders such as Greg Kovacs who gets up close
to 400 lbs in the off season and has "supposedly" done 675 lbs on the
INCLINED bench for REPS, mind you this dude is on every drug available,
and probably just sucked on the titty a little longer than the rest of
us.
Bodybuilders today are much bigger than the previous generation, Arnold
in the 70's weighed 265 lbs tops, and never did more than 520ish.
I still believe that carrying 220 lbs plus on 5.11, and with decent
muscular definition, Mike can/or used to do in the high 300 lbs. Always
hear he was very competitive with the other kids in the gym when it
came to lifting weights.
Did 360 for 1 rep this past Monday, and only weighed 168 lbs, and I've
only been back in training since January 2nd after an 8 month absence
due to back surgery. And, no, I don't take any drugs whatsoever.

Your an heavyweight yet can only do 4 reps with 315? WIMP!!!!
I'd wager that Ibeabuchi can outdo Golota, and maybe Holyfield can too.

Golota can do it, dude, all he needs is for Anthony Clark to get
beneath the weight and squat the motherfucker up like it was a feather.

Hasn't Gary Heisey done 925 lbs by now?
I know you snotty powerlifting fatsos sneer at the bench press, but
what can I say, dude, the chicks dig it, and I got to go where the
chicks are. Besides, ever seen anything more impressive than Greg Warr
benching 532 lbs at 133 lbs, that is the world's first 4x bodyweight
bench.
Don't tell me you buy that BS about Paul Anderson squating 1230 lbs?
BTW didn't I recently saw you adorning the cover of "Men's Workout"
magazine? You looked good, but kinda gay.
Just kidding, Danny, your expertise is most welcome here in RSB.
Yeh that is after doing around 40 reps with weight ranging from 225 to 315,
12-10-8-6 with 1minute between sets then two sets of 4 back to back with 2
minutes between sets. I tend to get a little lactic acid build up by then. I
may not be able to bench 400 lbs but I can do other things though, like ten
rounds of sparring with guys like Golota, Tua, Rahman, Briggs and countless
other guys, can your 168 lb. ass do that? I am a fighter not a body
builder/power lifter.

Dont know, I never trained with Ike or Holyfield. I was only saying Golota was
the strongest fighter I EVER TRAINED WITH. Not that he was the strongest boxer
in the game.

Give us some details of what
level you both worked in the
spar sessions? Did he work
on specific moves and combinations
or did he just do the three minute
bit? Did he work with you or work
on you?
As ever,

I always take 2 minutes between sets, you have to let the oxygen back
into the muscles otherwise, you won't be able to exert yourself on the
next set, too much rest lets the adrenaline go away, but too little is
bad as well.

I'm pretty good at swimming, put David Tua after me in the olympic
pool, and that whale will never catch me. Don't knock my 168 lbs ass,
hours on the stairmaster have made it look damn good inside my Jeans.
Dare I suggest they might be taking it easy on you? Very few fighters
can go 10 rounds in sparring with some of those guys (particularly
Andrew, and Davey) unless they want you too.

You should of realised by now that I was just teasing you, dude. Do you
do some flat bench dumbell presses, you can get a killer pump with
those, I usually do flat benches, followed by inclined benches,
followed by dumbell presses on flat, and then inclined.

Ok, ok, I'm watching Maria Shriver on CNN, did you know there's
something called a "Women's Hall of Fame" someplace? Lousy feminists.
Sparring is not fighting, there is a big difference. You go about 75-80% when
you spar, and when you rock somebody you dont try to finish them off. (Unless
they talked shit before you got in the ring or are from another gym and are
trying to "see what got")
Good fighters work with each other and try to push themselves. But always try
to not go all out. Sometimes you do go a little harder when it closes in on
fight time, that can result in some great "gym wars", but most of the time
everybody is pretty friendly after sparring, even when you take a bit of an ass
whipping. I have taken a few of those, but have dished out my share as well.
That is sparring.

Absolutely not teasing.
