It's a rare occasion that two boxers can lay claim as being the best fighter in the sport at the same time. The last time that it happened was when Sugar Ray Leonard fought Roberto Duran and Marvin Hagler. After the legendary bouts between three equally-matched fighters, succeeding pound-for-pound fighters tended to stay virtually unchallenged. Aside from that, most of them didn't belong in the same weight class so fights could not happen. In Pacquiao and Mayweather, both fighters are of the same age and that means they have reached their prime at the same time. Pacquiao is a Eight-time champion and the first one to ever achieve that feat. Since his loss to Erik Morales back in 2005, Pacquiao has been 12-0 with eight of those wins coming via knockouts. Mayweather on the other hand, is unbeaten and with five championship belts, is ranked as the pound-for-pound king until he retired in 2007. The interesting thing about Pacquiao and Mayweather is that both of them have occupied the pound-for-pound throne at one of their careers. In addition to that, they occupy the same weight class so a fight between them is absolutely possible. -Gilrenald James R. Granada
