No way will it be easy, if nothing else mayweather knows that manny can shake him up with a single shot for the full 12 rounds of the fight so the concentration has to be there all the time, and even when he is getting out-boxed pacquiao doesn't get demoralised or discouraged as he proved against marquez and morales. Pacquiao looks better every time he fights and to be honest in the last couple of years he also looks different every time he fights.
People who come to this conclusion from the weekend are underestimating clottey and don't really understand different boxing styles. Pac-mayweather is a completely different fight, and anyway clottey has a great right hand (lead), and a very good jab. He hits everyone with them but in my opinion had a lot less success against pacquiao, then cotto, judah etc. So pac can't be that bad defensively. I would expect he would think a lot more about defense and use more head movement against mayweather anway.
