Toughest Ever Debut Fights...

[Haighy]

Ezra Sellers had a tough one, he was stopped in two by Bruce Seldon (5-0 at the time)

Or Henry Janes who bravely went the full 6 with a 9-0 Stephen Foster jnr on his debut and the opponents didnt get any easier after!

And my last is the woeful Pavel Silvin who fought 36-1 Tomas Bonin on his debut and even had him down in the 1st!

I love Pavel Silvin, it was because of him that i won a bit of money on Haye beating Bonin in the 1st.
Silvin was awful, but proved that Bonin was as well

That is a tough debut! Facing someone who is 65-2 in your first fight is crazy.

The Nigerian UFC lad fighting Tyson Fury must be up there eh

That and Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather are surely the most well paid Debut fights of all time without question.

Sadly those 2 guys probably made more money to lose those bouts than many Legends we revere ever made in their entire career.

Muhammad Ali's pro debut was against a bloke named Tunney Hunsaker who was a (the youngest) Police Chief in West Virginia.

They became good friends despite being cultural opposites. Hunsaker has a fornicating bridge named after him.

Name ONE other fighter with a bridge named after them.

Slightly off topic.. but I thought (wrongly) that the guy whom Khan made his debut against, David Baily, was also on his debut.

Anyway, turns out David Baily made his debut against a guy called Dean Ward- whoes own career record was won 0 lost 7- but included that 7 were Matty Marsh, Patrick Hyland, Derry Matthews and Andy Bell- all British Championship level fighters at least.

Tough career!!

Dean Ward was a junior star for small heath abc won national titles and was being groomed to be a star as a pro.

[THEBUTCH]

On the home front I think Joe Joyce deserves a little mention for his debut, a 10 rounder against Ian Lewison.

A more obscure one, Nathan King had a tough debut taking on 9-0 and future British & Commonwealth championTony Oakey.

Good shout and won the CW in his 4th fight!

[THEBUTCH]

A largely unappreciated fighter.

[Lenny Cravats]

Johnny Carlos fought former heavyweight champion Leon Spinks in his debut.
Johnny smoked him in the first, so it wasn't a tough debut. Only time a former heavyweight champion has lost tona debutant, though.

[Delta Jay]

Miguel Vasquez fought Canelo Alvarez in his first fight, think they were both teenagers mind you.

jose luis ramierez (24-3) at time of fight

orlando salido (41-12-2) for wbo featherweight championship

I mean.. he just cut out the bullshit. And went straight in.

For him he was barely tough. He was at that level.
