After watching this fight, I think it will be very interesting to watch Mayweather's speed & defence vs. Pacquiao's speed & power.
Mayweather is very fast, great counter puncher, ability to adjust, high work rate and tight defence. Maybe a weak jaw, but very difficult to find that spot. Mosley was no match, he was too slow, did not move well, did not have enough punching output to follow up and knockout Mayweather. So Mosley got out boxed and out classed by Mayweather.
Pacquiao is also very fast, but is very powerful puncher, great finisher, super high work rate, very high punching output, strong jaw, and very elusive with weird angle punches. Left and right arms have power. Clottey was no match for Pacquiao's high intensity work rate, he spent the whole match blocking shots. He did however hit Manny with solid punches, but not enough output to follow up and hurt Manny (which tends to get hit when he attacks, but has great chin).
Mayweather vs. Pacquiao. This will be epic!
My prediction:
Mayweather will win UD if he out box Pacquiao.
Pacquiao will KTFO Mayweather if he catches him with a clean shot.
