Ward's resume at 25 fights vs other's?

[turbotime]

Anyone else know of a fighter who has been in that deep with top guys so early?

Mayweather had Hernandez and Manfredy by 20 fights. I still don't think that's as good as Ward though.

Holyfield had a 15rder against Qawi in his 12th fight

by his 26th fight he'd won/unified the CW and HW divisions

That's a good one. I forgot just how early his fight with Qawi was.
Oscar had Whitaker, Hernandez, Ruelas by his 23 fight. Pretty decent

De La Hoya -
Chavez
Whitaker
Leija
Hernandez

+ other good fighters like Molina

I don't think any of the current top 10 p4p have a better 25 fight resume

Vargas too

Roy fought Hopkins & Toney at 27-0

Ali had fought Henry Cooper, Sonny Liston, Floyd Patterson, George Chuvalo, in 25 fights.

Mayweather had fought Genaro Hernandez, Angel Manfredy, Carlos Gerena, Goyo Vargas, and Diego Corrales in 25 fights.

Whitaker had fought Roger Mayweather, Jose Luis Ramirez, Greg Haugen, Louie Lomeli, Azumah Nelson, and Juan Nazario in 25 fights.

Those are 3 off the top of my head.

Ray Leonard

If we're being technical, in his first 25 fights, he hadn't really been in withnayone that good yet. It was pretty much right after that he fought the big fights. Benitez was Ray's 26th fight. His only alright fights before that were Ranzany, Price, and Chivaerini.
