A fight that realistically should have happened about 5 years ago when these guys were in their prime. Nevertheless I still can't wait for these two to step into the ring and will be paying the £19.99 to watch it in the early hours of May 2nd. I can't seem to make a prediction as I keep changing my mind. On one hand Mayweather is just too good defensively and always seems to find a way to win, but on the other hand, Pac has speed on his side and could possibly out-work him for 12 rounds, and as Floyd hasnt really got that knockout power anymore I feel that Pacquiao could probably take his best shots and still move forward.
One thing that I feel needs to change is how the judges always score the fight for Mayweather. They seem to give him the points to win his fights by letting him fight defensively and throwing one or two counter punches during each round. How can a boxer win a fight by being defensive ???? Boxing is a competitive, aggressive sport and surely the fighter who throws and lands more punches and puts in the higher work rate should take the decision. Saying this however, i have been reading that Mayweather has been putting down his sparring partners recently during training so perhaps he knows he actually needs to put on a show stopping performance to win this one. Id like to see Manny take him out but I have a sneaky feeling that a split decision will go the other way
