Name me examples of prospects/young fighters who stepped up too soon

[DrHouse579]

His chin was going to get checked eventually, but seeing Khan and Ortiz being mentioned, Thomas dulorme comes to mind.

Super hyped amateur and was supposed to be the next big PR star until he got stopped by a journeyman.

[Zaroku]

and to cheat nonstop

Exactly....well said...pulled a Ward on him

[Team Reek]

An interesting case is sean o' grady, his father didn't want him to have the pressure of having to keep his "0", so he threw him in there with Danny Little Red Lopez.

Sean had 30 pro fights but was only 16 and those fights were against softies.

Luckily Sean recovered and was able to hold a world title for a short time before his dad made him give up the WBA belt. Little Red Lopez isn't the type of guy you just throw an inexperienced teenager in with, he was a monster puncher.

Canelo against Mayweather.

And Canelo against GGG later.

Canelo is too young and clearly wasn't experienced enough. He also needed at least 4 more years before he was acclimated to 160 and at least another 3 years before he was ready for a real MW like GGG.

I don't think Canelo will ever recover.
