Let's get it on! The long-awaited mega fight will finally happen this coming May 2nd 2015. Undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr., who’s considered the Best Fighter In The World today will face People's Champ Manny Pacquiao, with their welterweight title belts on the line. Both considered as part of the best pound for pound fighters, they will show their skills on the ring FINALLY against each other. Boxing fans can't wait who will emerge victorious among these two living legends. We are all dying to witness the battle of the best defensive fighter against the best offensive fighter in  boxing history today.

The debate of who's going to win will go on until the big day comes, and we have recently pointed out 5 Reasons Why Manny Pacquiao Can Beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. However, we cannot deny that Mayweather has his own strengths that just might lead him to victory. Here's 5 of it:


1. Floyd is now confident he can beat Manny and this is for his legacy.

Honestly, if this fight happened a lot earlier, Manny will probably KO Floyd. However, at present, Floyd knows Manny now is not the Manny Pacquiao 5 years ago. Since 2010, Pacquiao has lost to Timothy Bradley and was knocked out by JMM in 2012. Mayweather was always 100% sure that Pacquiao will eventually slow down and become more hittable. It happened and now he believed that this is the right time to fight him. Because of this, he is now confident that will be no way pacquiao canwin against him. He also knows that if he will retire without facing his rival, even if he's undefeated, boxing fans will still question his career.


2. Manny Pacquiao is weak against counter punchers.

We all know that Manny Pacquiao had a hard time fighting counter punchers. Especially Juan Manuel Marquez who was able to finally get a victory over Manny in 2012. Pacquiao had the judges in his first three fights until Marquez decided to take the judges out of the picture completely in their fourth fight by connecting a solid right counter punch on Manny Pacquiao's chin that put him to sleep. Now that he will fight Floyd who is a way better counter puncher than Juan Manuel Marquez, what do you think will happen? I believe you already know the answer.


3. Floyd Mayweather has the best defense.


Floyd Mayweather has won most of his 47 professional fights by using his  famous shoulder roll defense that his father taught him when he was just starting out in boxing. Though there is still no guarantee that it will work against a southpaw like Pacquiao, we believed that Floyd can still win because he has a better reflex and knows how to avoid danger.


4. Floyd won every single fight.

Floyd have faced different fighters and have won each time. Whatever the size of his opponent is, whatever style they have, Floyd will just adapt to it and win in the end. This is why he is still unbeaten after 47 fights. Manny Pacquiao is a great boxer with very strong punching power, however Floyd can adapt to this style, dodge every punch, do counter punches. Going through to the 12th round alone, might just cut it for Mayweather.


5. Floyd  is a smarter fighter than Manny Pacquiao.

Manny Pacquiao is easy to hit as he is quite open when throwing his punches.  Floyd Mayweather, who has a very high boxing IQ will just take advantage when this happens. He knows this too well that he will just avoid when he's in trouble and attack when he eventually has the advantage. Works for him every time.


My conclusion is still just a mere theory until they actually fight in the ring. This is just my opinion and  if you think Manny can beat Floyd, check out are previous article:

  2. In my opinion, JMM's victory became possible because of a lucky punch. Review the fight and you will see that JMM was surprised by what happened. He was not even looking at Pacman and just continue punching the wind hoping that he can hit his opponent. Bradley vs Pacman, count the number of punches that landed on Bradley's face. We cannot always trust the judges decision. That moment when Bradley's name was called. Nobody clapped , like it was the most questionable decision and fans don't like that fight to happen again. Floyd vs Pacman, this might end someone's career. A bloody fight for both fighters. Floyd's arm muscles are great for defense and somehow he also has the power to knockdown opponents but too slow for agility fighters. 30% of his punches might miss. Pacman's punches are strong, fast, turns ugly face uglier, 90% accurate and most of all you will never see it coming.
