5. Two of the best fighters of this era

I love to watch the skill of both fighters. Mayweather was previously accused of ducking big fights to preserve his undefeated legacy. That hasn't been the case of late, fighting tough guys like Canelo Alvarez, the dangerous Marcos Maidana, and Guererro. Marquez vs. Mayweather was a wonderful fight to watch (Marquez' skill is wonderful to watch and he's one of my fave fighters). Pacquiao for basically a little guy has fought everyone in sight, at different weights, blowing my mind. I don't hate on either guy; they are a joy to watch. Floyd used to reportedly have bad hands, fragile and painful. I guess that's not the case anymore. I have no idea about this one. I don't think Floyd has ever faced anyone with the combination of chin, speed, relentlessness, maneuverability and grit as Pacquiao. Floyd though is a very smart fighter who can seemingly adjust to anyone. This should be a good one.
