    After only 20 fights too.. It's crazy how many dangerous guys he fought when you consider he only has 31 fights... He got moved way too fast, he should have been able to build back up after Trinidad.

    am not saying up to the Prescott fight, since then he built a solid resume for his age in the sport currently. Khan didn't get dropped against Drizlane, he did against the other 2.

    I was also saying as a combined fighters they fought, not just pushed into one solid fighter like Vargas --> Tito

    Vargas got pushed into big money fights early because he had a chronic back injury.
    If he did not get pushed that hard he would have not made as much money.

    They had no choice.

    I'm surprised I've been the only one to mention Benitez still, IMO he fits this bill more than anyone else, with horrific results too. Vargas was fighting Trinidad at 23, yet Benitez by 24 was already completely shot, and had been in a ton of hard fights. He had been forced to take punches by his dad since he was 4, he had his mental health completely ruined by a ***** of a father...

    Bojado lost to a low level gatekeeper in his 10 pro fight. He was making too much money too soon

    Vargas

    Lacy --he was way too green to fight Joe C when he did, although I don't think it would've mattered at what stage of his career he would've fought him he still would've gotten dominated. Just a bad stylistic matchup.
