Mayweather Vs. Manny Pacquiao May 2nd Analysis


After all the hype that has been going on in the boxing world, I simply could not resist not to talk about this major boxing event.
Anyone with any knowledge about the sport of boxing should know about these two big names, only if perhaps they have been living in a cave for the last 20 years. Previous to examining the predicted outcome of this highly anticipated bout, one should initially analyse these two world class fighters individually.  Starting with the one and only Floyd "Money"Mayweather.
Coming out with an incredible unmatched record of 47 wins, 26 by knockout and an outstanding 0 loses throughout a career spanning over 20 years, Floyd has definitely earned his spot among the greats. Although Floyd may seem as a flawless fighter, there has been a lot of controversy surrounding his victories. Floyd has been accused of  hand picking opponents, cheating his way out of victories and simply boring out the crowd on many different occasions.

Floyd taking a cheap shot at Victor Ortiz.
His style may not be the most exciting to watch however he has come out victorious over a number of great fighters including and not limited to De La Hoya, Cotto, Hatton and Mosley.
As one of the most technically gifted fighters of our era , the fight with Manny is no doubt to be an exciting one however the question that remains is who will come out on top.

Our next contestant is the people's champ Manny Pacquiao,  with a record of 57 wins, 38 of them by knockouts , 5 losses and 2 draws.
Coming on to the bout after a strong win against previously undefeated Chris Algieri in addition to a number of world class fighters that have joined the long list of fighters that have fallen on the hands of Pac-Man.
Manny is not simply just an amazing fighter but a lovely and multi-talented individual, whether it is the boxing ring, basket ball court or the parliament, Manny has the habit of always coming out on top. In the sport of boxing he is known for his incredibly quick hands, high knockout rate and amazing agility.
Manny staggering Ricky Hatton with his incredible hand-speed, knocking him out repeatedly during their bout.

Although Manny has definitely shown that he is an incredibly talented brawler style fighter, he still lacks the technical finesse that a fighter such as Floyd has. Pac-man has also shown in past bouts that he struggles against more technical fighters, this is clearly shown with his loss against Marquez.


So what may go down on the second of may, is still up for grabs. This amazing fight could go either way. Will Mayweather manage to outbox Pacquiao or will Pac-man put  Floyd in trouble with his incredible hand speed and volume of punches, we will all have to just wait and find out.

For further analysis , my personal prediction of the fight is shown below.




Well that is it for me people,
Have a wonderful day. Peace.
