    Name 3 men who:

    ... reached pro fight No. 100 (documented by BoxRec) before their 20th birthday.
    ... challenged for a world title at least once.

    Come on guys, this is not that hard. I will start it off with Young Stribling and Ted (Kid) Lewis .

    I will name the other one later But lets see if anyone else can come up with that one.

    I also know of one that is not in BoxRec.

    Thanks, hh.

    Yes, I would have thought Stribling and Lewis were fairly easy, and would be solved in a matter of minutes - but apparently not!

    Was thinking perhaps Georges Carpentier, but it appears he fell about 8-10 fights short.

    The 1st time he fought for the World Title he floored the Champion But the bout ended in a draw. He would get a return match and again, it ended in a draw.

    He would lose in another Version of the same World Title and then got another shot at the same World Title, losing on a split decision at a famous ballpark.
