Against Ugas, Pac-Man Can Match Mayweather's Record: Beat 23 Boxers Throughout His Career
JAKARTA - There is no doubt that Manny Pacquiao is one of the greatest boxers in history. And now he has a chance to equal the record set by Floyd Mayweather. What's that?
Two years ago, he beat Keith Thurman to become the fifth boxer over the age of 40 to become world champion.
With that victory, he recorded victories over 22 different fighters. Meaning, if he beats Yordenis Ugas on Saturday night, he could match Mayweather's record (23).
It will not be easy for Pac-Man - Pacquiao's nickname - given Ugas' record and ambition to replace Pacquiao in the boxing scene. However, the possibility is always there.

Genaro Hernandez, Gregorio Vargas, Diego Corrales, Carlos Hernandez, Jesus Chavez, Jose Luis Castillo (twice), Victoriano Sosa, DeMarcus Corley, Arturo Gatti, Sharmba Mitchell, Zab Judah, Carlos Baldomi, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Juan Manuel Marquez, Shane Mosley, Victor Ortiz, Miguel Cotto, Robert Guerrero, Canelo Alvarez, Marcos Maidana (twice), Manny Pacquiao, Andre Berto.
Meanwhile, the 22 boxers who beat Pacquiao include:
Chatchai Sasakul, Lehlohonolo Ledwaba, Jorge Eliecer Julio, Marco Antonio Barrera (twice), Erik Morales (twice), Oscar Larios, Jorge Solis, Juan Manuel Marquez (twice), David Diaz, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, Joshua Clottey, Antonio Margarito, Shane Mosley, Brandon Rios, Timothy Bradley (twice), Chris Algieri, Jessie Vargas, Lucas Matthysse, Adrien Broner, Keith Thurman.
