The fight of the century between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao has been a near decade in the making.

Over the past eight or so years, the two most iconic boxers of the generation have fought six of the same opponents, starting with legend-in-his-own-right Oscar De La Hoya.

The scales have been tipped since the first try at Mayweather vs. Pacquiao in 2009. Throughout the several attempts to organize this fight, "Money" has remained undefeated, while "Pacman" has had his struggles.

Now Mayweather is the clear favorite, and Pacquiao the underdog in the showdown that fans have debated in barbershops, on Twitter and beyond.
