    Name one aspect of Mayweather and Pacquaio's game that is overrated and could give the other guy an advantage.

    Mayweather: As great as Mayweather's defense is, it's a bit overrated. I've never thought he doesn't get hit, he does, and it didn't start with Mosley. Mayweather is hittable, it's just hard to catch him clean.

    I think Pacquiao's volume punching could give him an edge.

    Pacquiao: Pacquiao's power to me has always been overrated, especially at 147 & his fight with Margarito. With the exception of Hatton most of his stoppages were more a case of his high workrate, than his power.

    I think Pacquiao's workrate could create more of an issue for Mayweather than his power, and though I think Pacquiao punches harder, I believe Mayweather is stronger. If Mayweather can handle Pacquiao's power, it wouldn't surprise me if Mayweather walks Pacquiao down, which could give Mayweather an edge.
