Former world heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson, is considered “The Baddest Man on the Planet”. It can be said that he, however, did not wait until he was an adult to become a tough-as-nails human being. In fact, a recent post shared by UFC welterweight contender, Jorge Masvidal, on Facebook, showed Tyson and WWE star Brock Lesnar, as teenagers. And it is safe to assume that fans were taken aback by the then-young behemoths.
Masvidal recently shared a picture of both legends on his Facebook page. It was a side-by-side comparison of a 15-year-old Tyson and 14-year-old Lesnar’s physiques. Moreover, he wrote in the caption, “Built Different.”

Lesnar was seen in a red vest and yellow tracks. He looked extremely fit and athletic for a teenager his age. Another notable feature was his impressive arm and deltoid development.
However, the teenage Tyson was in a different league altogether. Tyson was literally the human definition of a tank and looked extremely intimidating. However, it is worth noting that he looked a lot older than an average 15-year-old.
Tyson had a rough childhood growing up in a violent neighborhood. And was introduced to the art of fighting at a very young age.
