Boxers that fought good opposition...

Beibut Shumenov 7(5)-0
fought Donell Wiggins, Montell Griffin and Epifanio Mendoza

Leon Spinks fought Ali in his 8th bout

Pete Rademacher fought Floyd Patterson for the championship in his first bout

 

:shock:

Are you serious? You mean to tell me Rademacher fought for the championship in his debut fight as a pro?

 

Ngoudjo has only 19 fights and fought Castillo, Bailey, Malignaggi and M'Baye. Not bad imo...

 

Evander Holyfield.

 

Azumah Nelson was 13-0 when he fought Salvador Sanchez.
Mexican bantamweight Baby Arizmendi became a pro at 13 years old and with a career of over 110 fights. Defeated Henry Armstrong, Fidel LaBarba, and Speedy Dado. Tony Canzoneri fought Johny Huber who was 23-4 in his 6th fight and won. Lou Ambers fought Phil Stark who was 29-1 in his 6th fight and Charlie Bedamy 26-2 in his 12th fight and also won!

 

Fenech won the IBF Bantamweight title in his seventh fight,then won the WBC super bantamweight tile in his 16th fight and the the WBC featherweight title in his 20th fight and shouldve won the WBC super featherweight title in his 26th fight but was robbed against Azumah Nelson.

it wouldve been 4 alphabet titles in 4 diferent division in only 26 fights,thats very impressive.

 

Pete Rademacher fought Floyd Patterson in his 1st fight http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=20110&cat=boxer

 

I know eh? Its either amazing or sad for him. He also fought Chuvalo on his 12th bout and Archie Moore on his 20th bout.

 

Meldrick Taylor. Fought James Buddy McGirt and prime Julio Cesar Chavez before the age of 24.

 

He was an olympic gold medalist, that's why they gave him a title shot right way. The offered the same deal to Theophilo Stevenson to face Ali

 

Alexander Povetkin.

 

Povetkin has fought an exceptional level of opposition taking into account the number of fights he has head.

Chris Byrd, Larry Donald, Eddie Chambers, Makosi etc

 

Emanuel Augustus

 

Yep.

Rafael Marquez lost to Victor Rabinales (a former world titleholder) in his pro debut.

Samart Payakaroon fought and defeated a former world champion in his pro debut.

Saensak Muangsaurin fought a fringe contender named Rudy Barro in his pro debut, defeated Lion Furuyama in his 2nd bout (who had lost a SD in a world title fight in his previous fight, and then won the WBC 140lb championship in his 3rd professional bout. This might be the winner.
