    Gary Russell was an amateur at such an early age, I'm surprised he hasn't fought more guys. Same with the Ruelas brothers.

    I went through this twice and could not find this one. Perhaps I missed it among all these posts:

    Nino Benvenuti defeated Ki-Soo Kim in the 3rd round of the 1960 Olympics. Years later Kim defeated Benvenuti for the world Light-Middleweight title.

    Yordenis Ugas, who won the WBA welter strap tonight, lost a decision to Amir Khan in the 2004 World Championships in South Korea when both were 18 years old.

    I would say Joshua-Whyte. But Whyte will never pick up an alphabet strap because he's not very good.
