1 Pac, 1 Money, 1 Crown, 3 Titles

On May 3, 2015 millions of sports enthusiast, especially boxing will witness the greatest ever bout in the history of the sport when Filipino boxing icon Emmanuel Manny Dapidran Pacquiao and undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd 'Money' Mayweather Jnr. Lights up the MGM Grand Garden Arena, in Las Vegas, Nevada in a welterweight title bout.

Mayweather vrs Pacquiao is the fight that has been lingering in the mouth of every boxing fun for the past five years and many a boxing fan will be caught salivating on Sunday dawn at the rate of pure artistry that would be exhibited by undoubtedly two of the greatest boxers on the planet now.

Floyd Mayweather Jnr. enters the ring with two titles (WBC and WBA) super titles whilst the Filipino boxing wizard, Pac-Man will wager his WBO belt.

That notwithstanding, in boxing, there are belts, and there are crowns. Belts are meaningless straps churned out by meaningless sanctioning bodies in order to collect a ratio of each paper champion's purse. There are 111 of these belts spread across 17 weight classes.

But crowns belong to those men who proved themselves the absolute best in their divisions either by beating the last man to hold that claim or by succeeding in a bout between the divisions consensus numbers one or two. Crowns are the closest thing that boxing has left for true champions.

Whoever wins the fight on Sunday stand the chance of becoming the first man in history to win the crowns of five divisions.

Pacquiao has already established himself at one time to be the very best flyweight, featherweight, junior lightweight, and junior welterweight in the world. Mayweather also holds his crowns in the junior lightweight, lightweight, welterweight, and the junior middleweight divisions.

Haven't said that, let me quickly suffice to reiterate here that Manny Pacquiao has a chance to make boxing history should he win. He'll be crowned as the first ever man in the history of the sport to be crowned in five different weight classes.

Trained by one of the most enviable trainers in boxing (Freddie Roach of the Wild Card Gym in West Hollywood), Manny Pacquiao's statistics stand at 64 fights, 57 wins, 38 knockouts, 2 draws, and 5 losses.

Pacquiao has fought all but the greats in his class except Floyd Mayweather Jnr. Some of the great boxers that the Filipino has flawed are; Ike Quartey, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Sugar Shane Mosley, Antonio Magarito, Timothy Bradley, and Juan Marquez.

En route to this bout with Floyd Mayweather Jnr., 'Fight of the Century,' Pacquiao faced and beat Chris Algieri in a unanimous decision (119-103, 119-103, 120-102) in Macau on November 23, 2014. Algieri was knocked down six times by the Filipino.

Coming from a great boxing family; Floyd Mayweather Snr. (Father), and uncles; (Jeff and Roger Mayweather), the undefeated American champion hold the most enviable record of 47 fights, 47 wins, 26 knockouts, and has never lost a fight.

A feat which makes him think he's the best ever in the history of boxing. Even better than Mohammed Ali, and Sugar Ray Leonard, who beats his father Floyd Mayweather Snr.

Some of the great boxers that has been conquered by Mayweather includes; Shane Mosley, Oscar De La Hoya, Zab Judah, Jose Luis Castillo, Diego Coralles, Ricky Hatton, Victor Ortiz.

Prior to this titanic clash, Mayweather had a back-to-back win over Marcos Maidana winning both via a majority decision.

If the world was to come to a standstill on Sunday many were those who would wish that the Filipino boxing machine will win, but Floyd Mayweather Jnr has got the firing punch they can stop Pacquiao.
