Mayweather will try to stay at arms length covered by defence at all times, he will not try to exchange at all, does not have advantage of facing Pacquiao 3 times already and knowing his style or power off by heart, will have to learn on the job.
It's possible Pac will hit Floyd and he will go down just like Marquez in the first fight.

I would pick Mayweather to win by decision, but I think Pac's apprehensiveness when fighting Marquez could be absent when he fights Floyd, like you said. That's one of Marquez's keys to victory. He has made Manny respect his power and the fact that he will stand and trade and put punches together.
Mayweather on the other hand may not be able to hurt or deter Manny as much, so it would be interesting to see how that plays out. I still think Floyd wins by UD, especially now that Pacquiao's once crazy power seems to be at least mostly out of play at this time.
Personally I wouldn't tell either fighter before a big fight that they would lose and that they'd also lose to another-fighter-X, but that's just me. Let them go into the fight with confidence and see who wins.
