Based on my observation with mayweather's fights, He's not the kind of fighter which goes in and brawls with his opponent.He play's safe during his bouts so that he could maintain his record of being an undefeated fighter.After winning his fight with Ricky hatton,the "pretty boy" retired and stopped fighting in the ring.

After pacman won his bout with the "golden boy," Mayweather's eyes are on Pacman.Mayweather is planning to go back in the ring and fight with the Pacman.

If so happens that the two boxers would meet in the ring, It would be Pacquiao who would win.But looking at the disadvantages of the pacman, Mayweather has the advantage cause he's the bigger man. As usual,I think Mayweather's strategy in this fight would just be the same with his previous fights.He would just wait, counter then moves out.

Floyd won't try to throw lots of combination to pacquiao which would somehow for me, be an advantage for pacquiao. With the pacman's speed and accuracy, Floyd would have a hard time hitting the pacman with his jabs and straights. I think pacman would be able to penetrate through the defense of Mayweather.

Pacquiao's Boxing skills would leave the pretty boy vulnerable to pacquiao's power punches and combinations.As you can see, Pacquiao is different from the golden boy and the hitman. They both dont have the speed to evade the counter punches of mayweather.

While pacquiao has the ability to dodge those punches and at the same time would confuse mayweather.But now, we still cannot assure who will win in this fight. This would be an interesting fight which people would be looking forward to.
