Pacquiao five years ago would have been a real threat.
I think the time that has passed when the fight between the two would have been a real 50/50 affair has been kinder to Mayweather and his style and that is why the fight is happening now. I think Mayweather will win pretty handily and on points with no real drama. |

Mayweather by wide decision. But I hope Pacquiao by decapitation. |

Teddy Atlas presents an interesting analysis of how Manny can win if he can take away Floyd's straight counter-right with clever feints and quick footwork ... http://www.silive.com/sports/index.ssf/2015/04/teddy_atlas_makes_his_mayweath.html
(I vaguely recall Teddy in Michael Moorer's corner when he got KO'd by George Foreman after dominating most of the fight ...) |

| Could it be that God answers prayers and after this fight we won't be hearing anything more about Mayweather? |

The thing is, that's almost always Mayweather's style, and no one who has followed him should be surprised- he's very hard to get to on one hand, but gets in just enough shots to win on points. Though I was hoping against hope that Pacquiao could somehow break through his defenses, the fight pretty much went as I anticipated. Snooze fest! |

There probably will - and should - be repercussions for Pacquiao's camp keeping his serious rotator-cuff tear secret on an event that is legally gambled on. It's quite possible that some big betters became privy to that info - which no doubt severly hurt Pacquiao's chances of winning.
Although Manny is the kind of ring warrior who may have deluded himself into thinking that he still had a good chance of winning, I think that the injury should have been disclosed. Another great fighter, James "Buddy" Mcgirt, also gamely fought for a title (against May-like master-boxer Pernell Whitaker) with a similar shoulder injury and also lost a unanimous decision. I can't recall if it was known beforehand that McGirt would fight basically one-handed, but I do remember that the announcers noted the fact very early in that fight. http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/James_%28Buddy%29_McGirt_vs._Pernell_Whitaker_%281st_meeting%29
This Reuters article discusses some of the legal issues that may arise ... http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/05/05/us-boxing-world-pacquiao-analysis-idUSKBN0NQ0C320150505 |

Since it is May and the weather is nice, I vote for Mayweather. But, I can not figure out how to vote on the poll in this thread. Well, in any case,
GO Mayweather!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
