I believe in the old saying "A good big man will beat a good little man." Though I believe this is a great matchup, I give the edge to Mayweather based on natural size.

Manny Pacquiao - Speed and Power with unpredictable foot movements.
Floyd Mayweather Jr - Good Accuracy, Good in Evasion. And has Speed and Body coordination to match his Accuracy.
As a HUGE Manny fan. I want him to face a beat down for retiring to move to Politics. He was used by his country for his fame and probably his potluck. He may seem humble to HBO videos but his head is overinflated when he decided to run.
Floyd though has his skills and technique to match his EGO, but the fact of the matter is that He bragged on beating Oscar DeLa Hoya when he won by split decision!
I want him to taste Manny's fist before he can claim the Pound 4 Pound Champion Title. And finally see what's the fuzz all about.
Manny, such a shame with his deadly tools he has to retire...
"Pacquiao officially announced that he is retiring in August 2009, and will be running again in the Philippine general election, 2010..."

Anyway, Let's predict this outcome and some probable knockdowns....
Here are the rules:
1. Base it on past fights. Dont just say "RICKY RULES, HE PAWNS ALL!!" Base it and weight it on previous fights.
2. If you have PICS to embed to go by your statement, the better.
