MANILA, Philippines — When “super” WBA welterweight champion Keith Thurman enters the ring to battle “regular” WBA titlist Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas on July 20, he’ll brandish an unbeaten record of 29-0, with 22 KOs and one No-Decision. For Pacquiao, facing an undefeated fighter is no big deal.
In Pacquiao’s history, he’s beaten eight fighters with unblemished records. The victims who were dealt their first setbacks by Pacquiao were Chris Algieri (20-0) in 2014, Timothy Bradley (31-0) in 2014, Jorge Solis (34-0-2) in 2007, Emmanuel Lucero (21-0-1) in 2003, Nedal Hussein (19-0) in 2000, Seung Kon Chae (23-0) in 2000, Dele Desierto (4-0) in 1995 and Rocky Palma (4-0-1) in 1995. Of the eight, five lost by knockout.
