Fighters that have been matched hard from the start

How have times changed? Every HW under 6'3 with more than 12% BF can't go out into public without being called a blown up cruiser.

Sor Rungvisai was thrown to the wolves from the get go: He made his debut vs Akira Yaegashi and in his first 5 fights he fought 3 times in Japan. He did not have it easy.

Michael Katsidis' first fight was scheduled for 10 rounds (ended in 3) and he went 12 rounds in his second pro outing.

 

Oleg Maskaev. You can´t throw a HW in with McCall in his 7th fight. And still he stayed active, fought Tua the next year. And got KOd again.

 

I loved Katsidis. Dude was up there with Gatti and Ward as far as being a legit warrior goes.

 

For a guy who didn't have a crazy amateur background, Lipinets was thrown in tough early

 

True. And it was well-known that Oleg had shaky chin. And it turned out not to be shaky but really one of the worst glass jaws the division has seen in the 30 years prior to his pro debut.

 

Kostya Tszyu fighting Juan Laporte, Hector Lopez, Livingstone Bramble and Angel Hernandez in his first 12 fights was impressive. Then blitzing Jake the snake Rodriguez in his 14th fight in a 3 year span.

 

Conor Mcgreggor.

 

You just won the internet, sir.

 

suppose you could add chisora to the pack? might not be right at the start but quite a number of them in a short space of time.

 

A few of my favorites in Mayweather, Ioka, and Yaegashi.

There will be a crowd that will vehemently respond negatively to this despite obvious truth to some notable degree, but: Canelo. De la Hoya certainly as well.

Lomo's an obvious impressive one of the moment in this discussion.

You could get more detailed responses and discussion with specifying if the emphasis is on age, quantity of pro fights, factoring in depth of amateur career, etc.

 

"I'm young but, ya know, I don't think I deserve to be getting beat up like this."

 

Ehh.. please tell me more, Canelo´s first 20-30 fights were a lot like Wilder´s. I could personally smash Canelo´s first ten opponents. I know he was just a baby but still..

 

Joe Frazier would have been KTFO just the same as poor Marvis.

Holmes jab cross combination would have had Joe wishing for Foreman to put him out quickly while Tyson would have looked at Joe walking forward with his forearms waving in front of his lower head, looked to Cus befuddled, get the nod from Cus, a quick smirk followed by a turn into an uppercut and pow... 3 seconds into Rd 1, the referee calls a halt to this contest as the challenger is in no shape to continue.
The winner bwo TKO, and still undefeated at 2-0 2 KOs, Mike Tyson, Tyson.
