With the Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Manny Pacquiao fight just two weeks away, the two camps are now busy in heir training.

Fans and athletes alike have chosen their sides on who is going to win in this fight of the century. Some answers are based on deep analysis, others because they are loyal to that certain player. Of course, most people look at this match like country vs country.

Technical analysis may be the best way to choose who will win in the Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Manny Pacquiao fight. Experience?

Both have plenty of it so they will just cancel out each other, at least when it is Freddie Roach that you will ask. According to the Future Hall of Fame member and long-time trainer of Manny Pacquiao, the years the two fighters spent in professional boxing would hardly matter once the two start slugging it out in the ring.

"Both fighters have great experience, so I don't believe that will be a factor in the fight. The biggest thing is that each fighter comes in with a different style. Floyd is a counter-puncher but Manny must be the one to enforce the fight," said Roach when asked who has the advantage in the Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Manny Pacquiao fight.

His prediction, of course, the eight-division title winner Pacman will win, and he has an explanation for it.

"I believe that Manny being a southpaw will be a factor in this fight. Manny showed me tape of Floyd fighting a southpaw and told me that that is exactly what we are going to do in this fight."

"Mayweather is a good counter-puncher, but Manny has faster hands and his combinations are better than Floyd's," Roach explained.

"Floyd may be a bigger guy, but we will still win the fight."

Floyd Mayweather Jr. - Manny Pacquiao fight will take place on May 2 at the MGM Grand Arena.
