What's the only way Pacquiao can win vs Mayweather? Holyfield answers

Former world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, speaking at a sponsors' event in New York on Tuesday, said he plans to be at the welterweight unification bout between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

 

"I don't know who's going to win, that's the reason I'm going to see it," the four-time heavyweight champion told Newsday. 

 

"If I had to pay, I would pay to see that fight, because that's how great that fight will be."

 

Holyfield said the differing styles of Mayweather and Pacquiao make the fight hard to handicap.

 

"Pacquiao, the only way he can win is if he corners him off," Holyfield said. 

 

"Can he corner him off? If he corners him off, I think he will win ... I don't think he can. But that's what makes the fight so interesting." —Agence France-Presse
