    Who ever takes more risks in the fight will lose Mayweather/Pacquiao

    Thats how I see it. To win the fight, its probably going to be a boring one. I mean the more risks you take by letting your hands go constantly the better chance your opponent has to win.

      I think that Pac will come out aggressively in the first few rounds, but as soon as he feels that Floyd can counter him well, he will be cautious, but that doesn't mean he won't throw punches, he will just respect Floyd's ability to adapt..Same thing for Floyd, if he think that he can go toe to toe with Manny, he will lose..

        I disagree. There's no way Mayweather-Pacquiao is a boring fight, no way.

        Mayweather is only able to walk down southpaws (Judah, Mitchell, Corley) to be as effective as he wants to be. Pacquiao's unpredictability is part of what makes him as hard to time as he is. Both are going to have to take risks and get out of their comfort zone to win that fight.

        No way it's a boring fight.

          You don't think both fighters will be wary to let their hands go to be countered?

            It'll get to that point at some point, but I doubt Pacquiao or Mayweather will stop tryingif they get countered. They'll just look for different ways of doing what they want to do. To be a great fighter, you have to have somewhat of a short-term memory and they have it.

            Mayweather completely forgot the 2nd round and took control, Pacquiao forgot that he got countered against JMM and would continue being aggressive.

            Quick question: Did you think Pacquiao-JMM II was boring?

              I think Pac will win the first two or three rounds as Floyd adapts to his style. After that Floyd will catch Pac a few times and win the majority of the middle rounds. Other than that I don't know what to expect.
