This early some boxing writers already picked PAC to win this fight:
"Surprise, surprise. It took all of a few days after Pacquiao's victory over De La Hoya that Mayweather expressed his interest in fighting the furious Filipino. There isn't a more appealing fight in the sport. Mayweather was the pound-for-pound king until earlier this year, when he retired unexpectedly. The mantle as boxing's best fighter was then assumed by Pacquiao, who has actually looked more dominant than Mayweather appeared during his reign. The only thing that separates the two would be Pacquiao's activity -- Mayweather last fought in December 2007. The fight likely wouldn't happen until fall 2009.
The winner just may be the best fighter of this generation.
Odds: pick'em; Matt's pick: Pacquiao W 12 (split).

link: Roach on why Boxing Mayweather Jr is harder for Pacquiao than De La Hoya
"There has been a lot of speculation that Floyd Mayweather Jr. could come out of retirement and fight Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach admits he likes that fight and would welcome it. Roach also understands that Mayweather Jr. would be a tougher fight than Oscar De La Hoya was.
Quoted recently in the Grand Rapids Press, Roach stated in regards to Mayweather Jr.: "Mayweather is a much more technical boxer, and he's kind of more of a passive fighter."
Roach added that the way Pacquiao would have to fight, landing combinations and getting out of the way, plus Mayweather's speed would make it a much harder task. Roach stated: "He (Mayweather) likes go to the ropes and lay there and so forth. You know, Manny's thing would have to be land combinations and get out of the way, because Mayweather's got that speed. So it would be a much more difficult task than this one (De La Hoya fight.)"
Ha haMayweather Jr. would be a tougher fight (for PAC) than Oscar De La Hoya...

PBF by UD... but the Pretty Boy image will be taken...![]()
I understand why fight fans are clamoring for this match: it is the former #1 p4p boxer v. the current #1 p4p boxer, but I don't think it will be aesthetically pleasing nor very competitive.
I see Floyd winning pretty easily.
Hatton v. Pac is more competitive.
