As a 40 year boxing fan, but a neophyte in the actual art, I would like to see Pacquiao win. To me boxing is about hurting the other guy. Marciano, Norton, Hagler - they won on inflicting damage. Mayweather, as great as he is (and he is one of the greatest), wins by outboxing his opponent. Many boxing fans love his technical ability. A classic dichotomy - bloodsport vs. technical merit. I kinda like bloodsport.
