With Vasyl Lomachenko being the fastest to win a world title in two different weight classes I wondered how his competition compared to other great fighters. So I added up some olympic champions, great amateurs and also some popular fighters record for their first 7 fights.
I know not every fighter started out the same way, like some mexicans turn pro at a very young age. This is just for fun, although I have to admit I'm very impressed with what Lomachenko has done up until this point in his career. These were the fighters I was wondering about, feel free to add yours. Also, I know this doesn't mean anything, again just for fun.
PS: there may be some errors, I did the math quickly in my head. But they should be about right.
