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.

I think Money would have edged out the roided out Manny of 2009 ... but he will easily beat the Manny who hasn't knocked anyone out since ... 11 rounds to 1 but it will probably be a split decision just so they can do it again

That's how these judges seem to be scoring it. Some of these decisions in Pacquiao favour, or splits for Mayweather have been pretty questionable.

It's all tied up again. I don't feel like this fight is going to be as close as this sim is running so far. My money is on Mayweather.

Like almost everybody my pick is the logical one in Mayweather but I still think Pacquiao will take enough rounds, particularly early and a couple throughout the fight so the scorecards are still relevant.

Regarding this sim, haven't kept score so appreciate the update there.

Hard not to pick Mayweather, but it's also impossible -- for me, at least -- to root for him. I just hope it's nearly as competitive as most of these sims.

I find it hard not to enjoy Mayweather's performances because of the skill level but yes he has never come across well and has violence against women issues.

* Didn't get any time yesterday to run the sim, so that's one missed *

Can you imagine how berzerk this result would make Floyd and #themoneyteam?

Probably be ideal for Mayweather. He could go down the Jones-Griffith route, "nobody could beat me so they had to take my zero."

Then an immediate and more lucrative rematch.
