    Which boxer had the fewest pro bouts under his belt, after having met 5 men from BoxRec's list of world champions?

    All good candidates - but someone did it in even less fights than Tszyu's 15.

    Yes, your right... it's not that easy!

    Spinks actually took 24 fights to meet 5 champs.

    Sorry... you are completely wrong!

    Rademacher met only 3 world champions during his entire career.

    Holyfield fought and beat Tyrone Booze, Hall of Famer Dwight Qawi x2, Rickey Parkey, Ossie Ocasio, and Carlos DeLeon in just 18 bouts.
