A page from Muhammad Ali, he probably studied him as a role model, he likes to use the rope adope. Great fighters and South Paws Mayweather has problems with. While he has great defensive skill due to excellent body control but gets caught when covering against swarmers. He was open when he used the right hand lead to the right hook from Judah. (He has to reach) Judah has less precision and has less power than Pacquiao. Hatton and De la hoya have less offense than Pacquiao. Because Mayweather's heavy reliance on the counter and heavy reliance on using accurate punches to win fights on points Mayweather Jr. has got no chance to pull of a win against Pacquaio on points. Mayweather can't stand toe to toe against Pacquiao because Pac is too fast and Mayweather wouldn't do it anyway. There is no secret to Pacquiao, he works hard and comes into the fight prepared. He does a lot of basic maneuvers the same as everyone else is taught in the Gym. He just does it really very well and fast.

Mayweather has to big a head to come into the fight as well prepared as Pacquiao. If he gets his head straight in preparing for a fight with Pacquiao, he has a chance but he will underestimate Pacquiao speed, same as everyone, and his lack of respect will be his downfall.
False.. Mayweather trains his @ss off always.. he's always in top shape for his fights. What are you basing this statement from? Has he ever NOT looked in top shape for a fight? Not to mention, he's not had a fight in a year and a half, and he is still in ridiculous shape. He always stays in shape.
Mayweather Jr. will always looks good because he has the genetics. But that is not really my point. My point is his "attitude" is that he is already the best. Not that he doesn't get his body into working condition.
Do not be fooled; despite his egocentric appearance on TV, PBF takes his opponents seriously. He may mouth off about being the best and nobody being a threat to him, but when fight time comes he knows his opponent inside out and has a logical gameplan devised to nullify his opponents strengths and exploit their weaknesses. And as much as I dislike him for some of the things he says, ego is a huge part of boxing; indeed, a huge part of life, and without that kind of self-belief, some people just would not make it, inside the ring or out of it.
