1. Marquez righfully was credited the win in his first 3 fights with Pac, so Pac's record today read 54-8?
2. Cotto fights Manny at a comfortable weight instead of a catchweight, and Bob Arum doesn't pay off Clottey to be a punching bag for 12 rounds?
Boxing is a very perceptive sport and some times records say something and facts says another thing. Said that, for me Floyd should be a 10-1 favorite even thought odds tell another story.
I just noticed that you said Clottey took a diver against Pacquiao. You really seem to be an extreme Pacquiao hater. Do you have any proof at all that Clottey was paid to lose that fight? Are you saying if Clottey had not been bribed to lose he would have won? If that's what you are saying then spit it out and be clear about it. Are you saying Pacquiao can't beat Clottey unless Clottey is paid to lose?
Manny vs Floyd never happens if Oscar fights Margarito instead of trying to cherry pick Manny. He thought Manny would be a easier fight and git a beaten for that thinking he probably would have beaten Margarita IMO.
Well then quit complaining and go place a large bet on Mayweather to win if you think he should be a 10 to 1 favorite instead of only the 2 or 3 to 1 favorite he is. Are you the big boxing god in the sky to decide that Marquez was such a clear winner over Pacquiao in all three of their fights that went the distance? I don't agree with you on that and neither do many other fans and experts. I thought all three fights were very close and could have gone either way. There is no clear winner in these fights in the court of public opinion. Many fans believe Pacquiao won either one, two or all three of those fights or at least deserved a draw. Just because you think Marquez was the clear winner of those fights doesn't make it so. Cotto said before the fight with Pacquiao he felt great at 145 and right after the loss he said Pacquiao's speed was the reason he lost and he felt strong at 145. It wasn't until years later that Cotto said the 145 limit hurt his performance. Pacquiao beat the hell out of him and I believe he would have KOed Cotto even if Cotto had been allowed to weight the standard 147 although I do hate catchweight world title fights. Don't forget Mayweather made Canelo weigh 152 the same two pounds under the standard 154 that Cotto had to be below the standard 147. If Pacquiao gets no credit for his win over Cotto then why should Mayweather get any credit for his win over Canelo? You can't have it both ways.

Yes, boxing is definitely a sport of smoke and mirrors.
How about this?
Mayweather fights Margarito and Cotto back in 2007-2008. Fights opponents in their prime and doesn't wait for them to take beatings or for them to get old. Doesn't fight a dehydrated and drained Canelo at a catch-weight considering Mayeather was already a 2 time champion at 154, fights Marquez at the agreed upon catch weight of 144, and doesn't pay him off for coming in 3 lbs. over weight.
Fights Pacquiao in 2009 when he was destroying guys left and right. Doesn't wait 6 damn years for Pacquiao to get old. Mayweather said in the Pac press conference that this is a sport of "timing," meaning you have to know when to pick and choose your opponents. He obviously waits out his opponents and braggs about it. "My health comes first."
How about he lets the commission determine whether a glove is approved for a fight. Let's Maidana wear his Everlast gloves or some Reyes gloves.
Alot of what-ifs for Mayweather, huh?
"My health comes first" - Mayweather.

Then according to that thinking you should probably bet everything you have on Floyd, why don't u?
