Pete Radamacher was 0-0 and making his professional debut when he faced Floyd Patterson for the Heavyweight Championship Of The World. Fact.

Carlos Baldomir was 41-9-6 when he fought Zab Judah for the WBC Welterweight title.

Pongsaklek Wonjongkam fought some guys with pretty awful records. Guys that were 27-10, 26-12, 14-6, and 31-17 http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=34051&cat=boxer

Baldomir had at least 8 loses when fighting Mayweather.
