How old should a boxer be to be tested in high level matchups?

There’s no absolute formula. Every fighter is different.

What I've been reading in this forum for years is 25 and under are still treated "still young" doe. There's no "depends." The "depends" part depends on who you are asking the question to. Generally, they're still babies and don't need to be rushed.

Canelo fought the number one guy at 23, so there has to be a "depends."

To me it goes back to my other thread, Why is losing so horrible in the sport of boxing?

If you lose once, it's over. It doesn't allow for any possibility of making any improvements in your game or the thought of gaining experience after the fight. You're not allowed to have a chance to recover from the loss.
