    That was a rematch. They both fought earlier in their careers as well back in 2001.

    Vazquez-Larios 1

    Vazquez was 11-1 and Larios was 20-0.

    Larios was out for 10 minutes in the first round.

    This wouldn't have been mentioned when the thread started in February, but Mzonke Fana and Ali Funeka met 12 bouts into each of their careers. Both have gone on to win belts since then.

    Margarito and Martinez came to mind but I don't necessarily think this fight qualifies because Martinez isn't quite world class. Yet.

    Another one that I found while looking at this matchup was Johnston-James Page. Johnston was 4-0, Page was 10-1

    jones-hopkins is the best pick for this thread. not counting the amateur encounters between other fighters such as hearns-pryor
