    Neon Leon Spinks in his pro eighth fight, putting a whupping on some guy called The Greatest to win the World Heavyweight Title.

    James Corbett fought Choynski in his 4th fight. Although Choyinski was only 3-0 at that time.

    Fidel LaBarba.
    Flyweight Gold Medalist. Fought Jimmy McLarnin four times (in Fidel's second and third pro fight), Frankie Genaro and Georgie Rivers in 11 fights.

    But yes, Lomachenko is already a two-weight world champion in 7 professional fights and would absolutely detonate Salido in a rematch now (that's the unanimous consensus).

    The source I read from was much more reliable than from what I am guessing you read yours.

    Rigo beating Donaire who was a top 5 p4p fighter in his 12 fight is about as good as it gets

    The Thai's (Poontarat, Muangsurin, Kittikasem, Veeraphol, Payakaroon etc) deserve a mention.

    Sun Kil Moon certain deserves a mention

    Naoya and his brother have faced stupid opponents so far, might be worth seeing where Hinata Maruta's future first (not many teens debut against a world ranks guy)

    Sung Kil Moon was a tough little fighter.
