    Who is it? Choi Tseveenpurev comes to mind on only his 3rd pro fight he was matched with the then 18 and 1 former wba world bantamweight champion Veeraphol Sahaprom. He got beat on points now thats hard match makeing any others?

    Pete Rademacher would be it, than again most of Patterson's title foes had the hardest match up early lol.

    Larry Holmes is a close 2nd.

    Holyfield had to fight a pretty damn tough Quawi in ony his 12th pro fight 18 months or so into his career. And there was no turning back after that.

    i'd say that qualifies.

    What about Pernell getting robbed in France. I think Ramirez had 100 wins and Sweat Pea had 15 fights. Davey Moore against Duran
