We have been waiting years for this fight to happen, and at every step of the way I have believed that Floyd Mayweather Jr. would beat Manny Pacquiao. There is one simple reason I feel that way: Floyd is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.
Mayweather is one of the best defensive fighters in the history of boxing. The man is skilled at avoiding opponents, making them miss, and dancing around while still throwing punches and landing combinations. His speed is incredible, as is his ability to dodge all punches. Better yet, he is mentally strong in the ring and rarely gets goaded into a slugfest; he is in control of his fate.
