Floyd Mayweather – Boxer: #1 pound-4-pound in the game is the model of consistency having never had a truly off-night inside the squared circle. Floyd has developed into a solid welterweight through strength training despite standing a shade under 5’8″. The long-armed, righty can do it all in the ring: Box, slug, counter, rip bodypunches or get nasty in the trenches. Floyd’s truly special gifts are his impeccable timing, sniper accuracy and precision counterpunching. Mayweather’s multi-faceted defense is built around his great anticipation and sense of distance. Mayweather almost got iced by Shane Mosley but has otherwise been a durable pug with a strong resistance to cuts. Floyd might be a touch slower on his feet than in his prime but he is still the best in the game at 37-years old. Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao Betting Odds Over/Under is at 11.5 Rounds with the Over -295 SPORTSBOOK.ag

Manny Pacquiao – Boxer: Pac-Man is an undersized welterweight that has beaten down bigger foes with hand-speed, combination punching, footspeed and angles. Pacquiao has good power but at 5’6″ 145 Lbs. bigger men can handle his steam. Pacquiao uses his bouncy movement to control distance and launch explosive bombs from all angles. Pacquiao’s best assets are his tree-trunk legs that he uses to leap into punches and cut distance in the blink of an eye. Pacquiao’s greatest strength is also his Achilles heal with his lunging offensive salvos leaving him vulnerable to huge counters. Under trainer Freddie Roach, Pacquiao has learned how to set up his punches with his jab-jab-straight-left down the pipe his best weapon. Pacquiao got face plantted by a scientifically enhanced puncher in Juan Manuel Marquez but has  always displayed a good chin throughout his career.

ESPN2 News Bottom Line: Mayweather is a half shade slower and Pacquiao isn’t the testosterone fueled beast that he once was but this should still be one for the ages. Maywweather is a touch faster, bigger and better defensively. Mayweather’s uppercut will also be a weapon of mass destruction for the shorter man. Floyd will control distance with his 5″ reach advantage outside and muscle the smaller man inside. Pac-Man’s workrate will keep things interesting but the Filipino icon will drop a close scrap on the judges scorecards.
