Pacquiao has evolved through the years to become a lethal offensive fighter who throws rapid and multiple combinations from varied angles. Matched with great punching power and an incredible work rate, any fighter who steps in the same ring will have a hard time trying to fend off the Filipino Congressman.
Mayweather on the hand is a defensive tactician whose iron walled defense is impregnable. With sharp counters, great evasion, and good movement, the American boxer is simply a magician in the ring whose skill set is so high that it would seem impossible to beat him unless you get a knockout. An extremely intelligent fighter who knows how to protect himself and exploit his rivals' weakness, Floyd Jr.is yet to lose a bout in his long and illustrious career.
Such is the hype and anticipation for the fight that not only it is dubbed as the "the richest fight in all of boxing" it is also considered as “the richest single occasion in the history of the sport”. But make no mistake, the fight is not all hype as some experts would suggest. The two though past their primes are still titans when it comes to boxing skills and fight experience. A contrast in styles that will pit the best offense versus the best defense is one that we shouldn't miss even if it happened a few years later than it should.
Mayweather is favored by bookmakers to win the mega bout. Although he seems to have the upperhand against Pacquiao with his unbeaten record, Pacman will sure put up a great fight like he always does and will always have a chance to score that precious win against Floyd's unblemished record. Both fighters will have a chance to cement their place in boxing's history.
