Sizing them up: Pacquiao vs Mayweather
Examine the tactics and skills of Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr as they prepare for their fight in Las Vegas

Boxing matches are won by a combination of skill, will and natural ability. When two fighters of standout merit meet at the same stage of their careers, one mistake or lapse in judgment could be all that separates the two combats in victory and defeat.

The May 2 fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr pits the two best fighters of their generation in a summit fight that isn’t likely to occur again for years. Pacquiao has won world titles in a record 8 divisions while Mayweather has captured belts in 5 weight classes.

While they’ll be employing strategies tailor-made to their opponents, they have many intangibles and idiosyncrasies that will likely be seen at the MGM Grand.
