Pac wins by KO. PBF never encounter someone like Pac before. Pac is a sharp shooter and he will eventualy catch Floyd with a perfect punch.

I think people need to reacquainted with Mayweather speed, watch the counter right hand he throws against Hatton in the 8th round at 2:38ish or 2:30ish mark. He's going backwards then it comes forward like a blur, he's as fast as anyone, he feints a lot and tries to put more power behind his shots so they aren't always as quick as they could be, but watch his handspeed against guys like Gatti and that handspeed is still there he just doesn't usually have the oppertunity to throw punches comfortably against bigger guys who constantly have him on his back foot.
People are bringing up what Judah did to Mayweather, but even though I agree Manny being a southpaw will bring Mayweather a ton of trouble, remember that Judah is a pure counter puncher and in the first four rounds Mayweather was coming straight forward asking to be counter punched by a guy who matched his speed. Manny has become good at throwing off his heels, but he doesn't have the counter punching technique of Judah, and I wonder how he would deal wtih Mayweather coming forward and putting pressure on him like he did against Judah.
agreed, Pacquiao has foughten:
Morales - who beat him in the first fight via counterpunching. In the second fight, Morales became more reckless and stood toe-to-toe giving only a draw. In the last fight, Morales (ridiculously) stood toe-to-toe and traded ending up getting KO'd.
Marquez - not nearly as fast as PBF, who is smart but nowhere near as smart as PBF and as many thought beat PAC
Oscar - weight-drained something feirce and old. Like Roach said, he just couldn't pull the trigger, it wasnt like PAC was extraordinary it was just that DLH didnt have it anymore.
Hatton - a guy that charges in hands at chest level with no attempt at head movement
now... Mayweather - a guy faster than anyone Pacquiao has fought, a guy more scientific than anyone PAC has fought, a guy better at counterpunching than anyone PAC has fought, and last but not least a guy that is better at exploiting PAC's weakness (chasing/reaching after running opponents) thatn anyone PAC has fought before.
