From a "No" to "Maybe," the Mayweathers continue to indicate interest in the dream match, with no less than Floyd Mayweather Sr confirming that a fight against Manny Pacquiao would be hard for his son than a bout with British boxer Amir Khan.

While many boxing fans believe that if such a match would take place, Money May would be the likely winner, boxing journalist Jaime Ortega of BoxingNews24 thinks otherwise.

He pointed to Mayweather's 47-0 record as the basis for most of the followers of the unbeaten American pugilist to think he could easily beat the Filipino southpaw.

However, Ortega wrote on Thursday that the assumption that Mayweather would dominate Pacquiao is only hypothetical. "I've always though Pacquiao's southpaw stance combined with his awkwardness and 8 punch combinations could not only disfigure Mayweather's face, but over-swarm him with unexpected punches he wouldn't detect," Ortega stated.

His observation is shared by Top Rank Promotions chief Bob Arum who said in September that the reason why the planned dream match died in 2012 was because Mayweather is afraid of southpaws like Pacquiao who would end his dream of matching Rocky Marciano's unsullied and unmatched 49-0 record.

Actually, Mayweather's last ring foe, Argentinean boxer Marcos Maidana, had given Money May a large cut on his right eye during their first bout in May. Ortega noted that Mayweather's legs are weak and the boxer only got lucky that he dodged Maidana's punches on the jaw, which would have given the currently highest-paid athlete his first defeat.

However, Ortega believes that honour may belong to Pacquiao, who is presently preparing for his Nov 22 bout in Macau against another unbeaten American boxer, Chris Algieri.

Mayweather, anticipating his retirement after 2015, is now eyeing becoming the trainer of Prince Jackson, the son of music icon Michael Jackson.
