Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao has no chance of beating American Floyd Mayweather Jr. when they meet at the MGM Grand Arena on Saturday, May 2 (Sunday in Manila). The prediction of Pacquiao losing vs. Mayweather can be clearly made with the statement of the previous opponents of the undefeated boxer.

Pacquiao vs. Mayweather is regarded as the Fight of the Century. Analyst predicts a very good fight between the two boxers who possess a contrasting style of boxing. Pacquiao is a southpaw who is always in the offensive. Mayweather on the other hand is a defensive boxer.

Below are some of the comments made by Mayweather‘s previous opponents.

1. Ricky Hatton described Mayweather as “a genius, a boxing artist. I was getting more and more frustrated. Lose your cool against Floyd Mayweather and what you do is you get knocked out.”

2. Oscar De La Hoya said that Mayweather has the ability of “walking your opponent down. So what he does is he gets in the pocket and covers himself and he’ll walk you down. And he’ll let you throw punches and Pacquiao is probably going to keep throwing punches in bunches and he might tire himself out while Mayweather is just blocking everything. And then Mayweather can just come, throw his combinations of two or three punches, win the round, put the rounds in the bag, and win the fight.”

3. Canelo Alvarez gave credit to Mayweather’s defense as “He doesn’t expose anything and give a beautiful fight. He doesn’t care in what way he wins as long as he wins.”

“He’s very fast and accurate and moreso when he’s just trying to make points. I didn’t really feel his punches were that strong. But he’s making points and he’s very fast.”

4. Shane Mosley
“I felt that I had the advantage on Floyd. I was very certain that I could hit him with good shots and I thought that could be the difference. I caught him when he thought that he was out of the way. I kind of slid it, a veteran move, and caught him right on the button and rocked him. He was surprised and I was like, ‘Wow, this is my chance. I’m going to get him. I’m going to knock him out.’ But I just couldn’t. He made the adjustment. He was able to capitalize. After that the fight was over. Mayweather did what he was supposed to do as a champion to win.”

5. Juan Manuel Marquez claimed that “Mayweather has had great defense, long arms, and he’s very smart.”

“Mayweather’s reaction time is amazing. He sees what you are about to throw and is out of there before you can punch.”

With the comments of Mayweather’s previous opponents, will Pacquiao have a chance of beating The Money.
