    Ioka won the full WBC title in his 7th fight. Sithsamerchai was the consensus #1 at 105, as well...

    Saensak Muangsurin won the WBC Light Welterweight title in 3 fights. Veeraphol Sahaprom, the WBA Bantamweight title in 4 fights.

    Doubt these two will be topped anytime soon.

    Ioka is the best I can come up with. Moorer is also a name that hasn't been mentioned.

    Good call Shogun. :good

    The thing is these guys were veteran Muay Thai fighters who'd been fighting as pros since around the age of 8, so they already had plenty of full contact ring experience.

    Not in a shitty interim belt like Rigondeaux and he won by KO not SD
     

  12. Don't know their are that many 'world titles' these days I wouldn't be surprised to see someone win one in their debut.

    Pongsaklek Wongjonkam regularly but his belt on the line against guys making their debuts.

    Pong fought a lot of guys with 10 or less pro fights while he was the champion, but I think Miuria at the end of his second reign is the only one whom the title was actually on the line for.
