Who will win between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao?
So, you’ve lined up the betting offer to use on the big fight, but which fighter will triumph at the MGM Grand in the fight that fans have wanted to see for years? It is fair to say that both fighters are now past their peak, but also that neither has diminished to the point that the other can drop his levels of intensity for a moment.
Mayweather (36 years old) looks to have the edge on paper having never tasted defeat in his 47 bouts, and though the Filipino has lost five times, he has had more fights (64). Both will be bang up for the contest and each has slightly different strengths. Mayweather is the more technically proficient fighter, whereas Manny (38) is generally more aggressive. There is a school of thought that suggests that Pacquiao will need to get the win within the distance to have a chance of victory given Money’s ability to grind opponents down while avoiding punches with grace and skill.
The bookies certainly think Mayweather will triumph, with most offering odds of just 1/2 on the American (which makes the 5/1 available with the Coral offer look truly magnificent). Manny is out at 2/1 with most big firms, which could be worth considering, while the draw – which shouldn’t be wholly discounted is out at 16/1.
Boxing fans have long debated which of these greats of the sport of boxing would win if they ever got in a ring together, and this weekend we’ll finally find out.
Both men have hoards of fans who are desperate to see their boxer prevail, but taking all things into consideration – age, the fact the fight is in the US, the unbeaten record – we have to side with Mayweather to get the victory. Whether you agree or not, you can get impressively enhanced odds on your chosen fighter with Coral, then it’s all about sitting back and enjoying what could be the best fight in a generation.
