First off, I think the reason Mayweather and Pacquiao are so hard to beat is because they FORCE you into fighting their fight.
Mayweather forces you to slow down and fight at his pace and then he picks you off because he's so good an nuetralizing your offense and controlling distance. And when it's a boxing match, mayweather is almost unstoppable because his reflexes are so quick and he's always setting you up and he's always a step ahead.
Pacquiao forces you into a brawl because he's putting constant pressure on you, and the more you hurt him, the harder he's gonna come, until you have no choice but to fight at his fever pitch or back down, and when it's a brawl, Pacquiao is almost unstoppable because his reflexes are so quick, he sees openings(when he's fighting toe to toe) nobody else can see and there's knockout power in each punch. And when you back down, then he's just going to walk you down or outwork you.
Marquez was so successful against Pacquiao because he's a brawler as well as a boxer. People here don't give him enough credit, but all you need to do is watch the Katsidis fight if the Pacquiao fight wasn't convincing enough. Marquez Outwilled Katsidis who is mostly a will fighter and like margarito, you have to kill to stop. So when Pacquiao turned it into a brawl, Marquez was more than willing to step up and he actually hurt Pacquiao because he can brawl too. And I think mayweather only beat him because of the overwhelming size,reach and speed advantage which is hard to overcome when you're the smaller man fighting that type of fight. So in the Pacquiao fight, when they were brawling it was almost even minus the knockdowns, and when they were fighting marquez's pace it was almost even, minus Marquez being a better boxer.
Now I have never seen Mayweather Brawl. He can't fight Pacquiao the way Marquez did and he can't hurt him, because when Pacquiao steps up the pace, he's not going to rise to it- he's gonna try to control it instead, and that's why I think Pacquiao outworks Mayweather and wins by points- depending on who the judges are. And depending on if Mayweather can get to Pacquiao's body.
This is just my opinion, i'm not saying I know what's gonna happen because nobody does- that's why we all want to see this fight.
