It is only just over a week away before the long anticipated showdown between Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao finally takes place. The fight is long overdue and has been six long years in the making. Now that the time has arrived at last, what will happen? How will the fight unfold? What type of momentum shifts might occur? What can we expect to see? And ultimately, and most importantly, who will win this legacy defining fight between boxing’s two biggest stars? The answers to all of these questions and more will be addressed and considered in this official prediction video.

38 year old Floyd Mayweather Jr enters this bout with a perfect record 47-0 with 26 wins coming by way of knockout. His opponent, the 36 year old Manny Pacquiao, comes into the match with his professional ledger reading 57-5-2 with 38 knockouts. Pacquiao had 2 strong showings in 2014, when he avenged his “loss” against Timothy Bradley and followed that up with an impressive outing against unproven Chris Algieri. Mayweather on the other hand held a pair of victories over Marcos Maidana in 2014, but he did not look as dominant as he had the previous year in wins over Robert Guerrero and Canelo Alvarez.

This fight will undoubtedly help define the legacies of both fighters. While both are already established future Hall of Famers and All Time Greats, the magnitude of this event, with its feverish build-up that has amazingly lasted for years, there is great incentive for both men to put forth their best efforts, even if the fight is happening 5 or 6 years later than fans originally hoped. Will Mayweather’s versatility and intelligence prove too much for Pacquiao? Or will Pacquiao’s hand speed and awkward angles lead to Floyd’s demise? Who will win?
