When the World Stops: Mayweather Vs Pacquiao Predictions

Floyd Mayweather is confident that the world will stop and watch on May 2, as he battles Manny Pacquiao for what could be the most anticipated fight in years. His opponent, not one to back down, prepares to prove that he could beat the undefeated, scoffing at Mayweather's untarnished win record. Now that the date has been set, what exactly, can the world expect about the fight? What do the latest Mayweather vs. Pacquiao predictions have to say about their 2015 rumble?

Floyd Mayweather

With 47 wins and no losses, Mayweather has been in the zone since his first professional bout in 1996. Floyd relies mainly on his speed and endurance, and his ability to dodge punches is quite commendable. As boxing legend Mike Tyson puts it, Floyd is very 'scientific' about his moves.

Floyd's main weakness is power and age. His last few fights have been notably unremarkable (but then again, so has Pacquiao's). For one, he hasn't won a match by a knockout since 2008.

Manny Pacquiao

Pacquiao thrives where Floyd has weak spots. He is among the few who has mastered the southpaw stance, a technique feared all over the boxing world. His aggression, tenacity, and impeccable footwork make him one of the most dangerous welterweight boxers in the ring.

Manny's biggest weakness becomes evident against counter-punchers and straight right punches. Pacquiao also has a tendency to be overconfident - unless he respects his opponent's strength, he might not be focused enough during the actual fight.

Everything Ends in a Mental Battle

Aside from the physical aspects, though, the mental battle is just as important a factor when it comes to these two fighters. As a matter of fact, it just might be the culmination of the long awaited Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight, which has long been sizzling outside the ring, particularly in social media.

Conclusion

So what conclusions can be drawn from the latest Mayweather vs. Pacquiao predictions? It seems that both fighters have unique skills which they use in very different ways. It's only a shame that the world will get to see this match after both fighters have gone over their prime. Nevertheless, it's a fight nobody could afford to miss.
