How can i get a "mike tyson or muhammed ali" physique?

I used to be mates with a couple of competition bodybuilders. They trained six days per week, used supplements and ate healthy. I started getting interested in boxing and we would often talk about Tyson and his physique. I remember them telling me that Tyson wasn't ripped. I tried arguing with them and told them I had read somewhere that he had once been measured as having 6% body fat. Bullshit they said. I didn't believe them till I saw images of bodybuilders competing with actual 6% bodyfat. These guys looked more lean than weigh in Pacquiao but with alot more muscle mass. My mates explained that Tyson had probably been measured the "old school pinch test way with calipers" as opposed to the modern method where they send an electric pulse through your body. I don't know if they were bullshitting me because the only things I know about bodybuilding are from what they told me. I still reckon Tyson is ripped though because I don't see the point in comparing him to some guy who hasn't eaten carbs or drank any water who would literally collapse from exhaustion without even getting hit once in a bout.

From what they told me it's impossible to tell whether or not someone can achieve a physique like Tyson's or Ali's without at least having seen a photo of them. Though a well designed program, proper form, diet, supplementation and adequate rest are of the upmost performance, genetics has a huge role to play. I understand why alot of people choose to deny this believing that you will never truly know your limits should you adhere to the "fatalistic mindset" that we are all doomed by our blood but at the same time there's no point killing yourself trying to achieve the impossible. I've seen some photographic evidence of some amazing transformations but how many of these were not aided by steroids? If you want to achieve a Tyson physique you better prepare to make a choice between bodybuilding or boxing. I don't believe it is possible to truly excel in either at the same time but hey maybe I've just got weak genes!
