I know, but that's only half the criteria. It's a lot easier to come up with an instance like that one. To truly answer the thread is much more difficult.

instances like the thread title are really rare, but its fun to mention any matches where both guys were obscure at the time but later on both would be top fighters in their division.

example: 18 year old Roberto Duran vs 22 year old Ernesto Marcel. Two of Panama's best fighters of all time just happened to meet up at 130lbs in 1970.
no one really knew who they were at the time, but Duran would claim the lightweight crown about 2 years later(going on to become one of the best fighters of all time) and Marcel would end up becoming featherweight champ about 2 years later as well(going on to be one of the few people to have beaten the great Alexis Arguello)
get the drift?
I don't know if this works but Roy Jones jr and Bernard Hopkins.
Also Eddie Gregory vs Matthew Franklin.
