Like most I've spent the best part of 5 years analyzing this match-up, in 2009 I would of gave Mayweather the slight edge - now I'm giving him that little bit more.

Both have regressed, but for me Pacquiao's effectiveness has diminished more so due to the physical demands of his particular style.

I would be more than happy to be proved wrong on May 2.
