Mayweather vs Pacquiao who wins?

[SRR]

Mayweather relies on counter punching and takes advantage of a fighters mistakes. He fights on the outside and uses what is often his reach advantage. He has seen many orthodox fighters and can handle them pretty well up to a good fighter level. As Mayweather has matured he uses less offense but has accuracy in his punches. 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.

Agreed, and that's exactly why I like Pacquiao, he doesn't have to talk, he just does it. It's one thing to talk yourself up to boost your own ego, it's disrespectful to talk others down and he can piss off the wrong people. Or like Nike, "Just do it!"

For starters I reckon PBF comfortably deals with JMM, just cos one guy can move up the weights doesn't mean everyone can. Floyd will claim he beat Marquez easier while Pac will claim the Hitman.

I picked with my heart by going for Pac, but I do believe he has a very genuine chance of winning, but maybe not the favourite. At the higher weight he is defo the faster of the two, while PBF's work depends more on timing. Pac really is improving all the time and has added convincing feints to his repertoire which simply weren't there a few years ago, and couple that with the awkward southpaw style that bothered Floyd a little via Judah and I think we have a very competitive fight on our hands. Only drawback is I don't see Floyd engaging the faster Pacman and we'll be in for a bit of a chess match.

I agree with you - as I said, I'd like to see Pac KO him [though I don't see it happening], because Pac is also a great fighter, but not full of himself, which is actually not that easy when you reach the pinnacle of a sport like boxing. To summarise; I respect them both as boxers, but I respect Pac as a man as well.
