Mayweather also wins in the "Ring General" category, which is probably the main thing to consider. Mayweather always seems to control the pace of a fight. If he does so against Pacquiao, Pacquiao is in for a long night.

To me it boils down to this: Pacquiao wins by beating up his opponents. Mayweather wins by outclassing them. I have never ever seen Mayweather beaten up to the extent that Pacquiao needs to beat him up, but I have seen Pacquiao outboxed by lesser boxers.

There's a reason why Pacquiao's people have kept him away from slick boxers, and I think we're going to see why if this fight were to happen.
Two months after Floyd got his 1st title at 130, Pacquiao got his 1st title too and it's a lineal one at 112. Pacquiao beat the man that beat the man.

Regarding ring generalship, Pacquiao is also very good in controlling the pace of the fight. He can dictate the pace even against bigger men. He has them back pedaling at times.

Pacquiao been criticized that he didn't fought a slick boxer, that he didn't fought a "black" boxer. I'm sure Pacquiao is not afraid to face the mother of all slick, "black" boxers and that's Floyd Mayweather Jr.
