Fighting Mayweather, you feel like an algebra student who accidentally wantdered into a Diff Eq's class.
Fighting Pacquiao, you feel physically overwhelmed.
Different experiences. Fighting Mayweather is very discouraging and draining. But if you don't take too much punishment, you should be OK. A guy like Hatton was never the same because he took shots and was KO'd.
Mentally beaten, totally. Physically beaten, not so much. I think if you as a champion/ex-champion/contender who has been boxing your whole life, go in against another boxer only to be made to look completely average...that would totally screw with your head.
