Marquez showed the blueprint to beat Pac. Mayweather is longer (and uses that length) and much sharper. I think Mayweather wins young just like he did when they were both old, but younger they both end up a lot more busted up.

With that said, Mayweather is also a bigger guy naturally than Pac (particularly his length), probably by a couple of divisions.

Obviously you don't want to be going straight at Pac as you do need angles and boxing ability to beat him but also need more than that. Every fighter that has beaten Pac or given him trouble has been able to back him up one way or another. Morales, Marquez, Bradley & even Horn were able to back Pac up.

If you can't back Pac up then good chance you were getting run over with the speed, power and high workrate.

If anyone laid the blueprint it was Morales who needed just the first fight to get the job done..not 4 times. Also big difference with Marquez & Mayweather other than Mayweather being longer and sharper, they're very different fighters.
Marquez wasn't afraid to throw with his opponents and fight which is how he was able to tag and finally find a KO in his 4th attempt.

I feel Mayweather would have the skills but not the will n dog to do what was needed, to not get overworked or outpointed by fire trunk Pac.
