    Not even close in my opinion...

    Mayweather has the ability to make Pacquaio look very ordinary...

    As evident in which of Floyds fights?

    Not necessarily evidence from Floyds fights but the way Marquez made Pacquiao look silly and Floyd is a better boxer than Marquez.

    Pacquiao will just come forward and Mayweather will pick him off with ease.

    You're right. He dealt with Castillos pressure brilliantly in their first fight as well.

    It is well documented, he had an injury in the first Castillo fight.

    You must be a mind reader as I was about to say something very similar...

    Floyd ALWAYS finds the right fight to fight. He has been in against a wide range of styles and has always had the tools to make the other guy look nothing more than ordinary and, in most cases, crude.

    IMO he hasn't been in with enough fighters genuinely at the top of the game. At least not comparable with Pac :good

    Combo punching, higher work rate and as you say more power. Oh and he may also have a better chin.

    So that stopped him from running as he did in the 2nd fight? or did he just realise he's not that good against combination punching?

    Again, you miss the point.

    Pac=great combination puncher.

    Floyd=(IMO) a guy whose defence does not hold up as flawlessly against combination punchers, especially with the speed of Pac. Especially wheny ou consider Pac has the footspeed to close Floyd down unlike any opponent he has faced.

    You were the one who started going off the topic, going on about the first Castillo fight.

    Pacquiao cant handle it against boxers/counter punchers who are at the top of their game, e.g. the first Morales fight, although he drew and won against Marquez, Marquez showed up Pacquiaos weaknesses.

    Mayweather is a better fighter than Morales and Marquez, Mayweather will beat Pacquiao and you can even quote me on that.

    :twisted:And Floyd can't deal with combination punchers at the top of their game. Castillo in the first fight showed these weaknesses.

    At least Marquez and Mroales have fought great fighters in their prime. Floyd has done nothing of the sort.

    Again it is well known he was injured in the first Castillo fight and you know that or are you just forgetting conveniently.
