Technique, skills and theory-wise...Mayweather will neutralize Pacquiao. But in the ring, those technqiues, skills and theory CAN cave in under relentless pressure, multi-angle punching and combinations FROM counter-punching intances/opportunities.
If we're talking about vectors, energy and science on paper...yes. Mayweather can be the most disciplined, defensive and downright "impossible" to beat.
That's why I think Mayweather is doubting himself or perhaphs having some second-thoughts because Pacquiao is at his physical and mental peak right now whereas Mayweather coming off from Mosley's fight, though superlatively fought defensively - have exposed some issues in his defense. Mainly when Mosley threw his overhand right crosses and landing with such force that it shook Mayweather's foundations.
Mosley's fault in no-follow-ups in combination with Mayweather's compusure enable Floyd to come back and win unanimously and impressively.
This is the instance that Pacquiao can most-likely exploit in the name of combinations, relentless pressure and multi-angle attacks. One of the barrages of his punches can land that can lead towards a "water-gate" like a dam that can overflow over time.
That commands not just physical prowess but mental accuity to counter Pacquiao in his prime and I bet that it has something to do with "buying-time" for Mayweather for Pacquiao's peak to mellow a bit through wear-and-tear AND age.
And thus his vacation.
But again, in theory Mayweather should have no-problem neutralizing the Tazmanian Pacquiao. But reality is of another thing. Mayweather's commendable and phenomenal defense in the name:
• distancing
• footworks
• angles
• counters
can also be penetrated under Pacquiao's relentess attacks. ONE BIG ATTACK CAN LEAD towards barrages of follow-ups.
Something that Mosley never had due to the luxury of his power.
My humble opinion.

lol at this. I agree though to an extent.
But PBF might shut down pac, but im not sure he believes he will. Otherwise they would be fighting next month or so by now.
Now This.

great points... too bad floyd doesn't even want to acknowledge that negotiations were going on. even floyd doesn't think the fight is gonna be as easy as you say.
He got really scared seeing all the KOs and TKOs in the last 4 / 5 yeas of Pacquiao....
There are no better person analyzing the outcome of this fight other than Floyd himself. Floyd fans can get it that Floyd already know the outcome of this fight.
