    Jeff Fenech, I thought he was better at Bantam and super bantam than he was at featherweight. He packed a lot into his first few years as a pro.

    17 year old Wifred Benitez beat Cervantes, for the Jr. WW Title 2 years and 4 months after turning pro.

    Wilfred Benítez (born September 12, 1958) is a Puerto Rican former professional boxer and the youngest world champion in the sport's history. Earning his first of three career world titles in separate weight divisions at the age of seventeen, he is best remembered as a skilled and aggressive fighter with exceptional defensive abilities, along with his fights with Roberto Durán, Thomas Hearns, and Sugar Ray Leonard.

    Carbajal moved pretty damn fast and seemed to peak pretty early. The Kittikasem bout wasn't even his tenth bout I believe.
