Pacquiao would get himself off balanced and Mayweather would make him pay every time. Mayweather-Pacquiao would really be more lopsided than Mayweather-Marquez was
Did you see this fight going any differently? Marquez was taylor made for Mayweather. He was smaller, slower, and always been at his best against aggressive fighters who he could break down with counter punching.

Pac still has the one weapon we know can get to Mayweather - a fast, hard straight left. I agree Pac will get hit, but he will win rounds. I absolutely favor Mayweather, but Pac will win some rounds. I see it as a more competitive version of Judah/Mayweather. Marquez didn't have a single weapon that you would expect to trouble Mayweather. No size advantage, no speed or power advantage, no reach advantage, no dominating jab, not a southpaw. Pac will at least land some meaningful punches and make it interesting for a while.
