  We present analytic expressions for the top and bottom Yukawa couplings in
the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model when both couplings
$h_{t,0},h_{b,0}$ are large at the unification scale. For sufficiently large
$h_{t,0},h_{b,0}$, i.e. within $\sim (20-25)\% $ close to their fixed point
values, using as input the central value of the bottom mass $m_b(m_b)=4.25GeV$,
we find that the top mass lies in the range $m_t \approx (174-178)GeV$, while
$tan\beta \approx (55-58)$. Implications on the evolution of the scalar masses
and the radiative symmetry breaking scenario are discussed.
