    Who is supposed to win, Pac or Floyd?

    I'd just like to get an idea of what you guys think about this question. Hoya was supposed to win because he was "bigger and stronger". Hatton/Pac was pretty much the same thing. Cotto/Pac "Cotto, bigger/stronger....
    Have the tides turned now that Pac has run thru those guys? Or is it still "Manny is the smaller guy, so he is at the short end"? Even though Manny is not a small man like the media likes you to think, shorter just not smaller.
    If Manny loses will it just be a "Oh well, Floyd was supposed to win, or will it be "Floyd is better?"
    Or if Pac wins is it an upset, and why. He's "P4P right now so how would it be an upset?"
    Will there be excuses? or can it just be the better fighter won..
    I feel like this is a fair fight at 147, Floyd comes in at his best same as Manny. No catchweight!
    What do you guys think?

    Floyd was the favorite to win against Oscar.

    Pacquiao was the favorite win against Ricky.

    Pacquiao was the favorite win against Cotto.

    Pacquiao at the moment I believe is a very slight favorite in vegas to win, however I expect that to change once more money comes in and things will look more correct with Floyd being a bit of the favorite.

      Mayweather: bigger, smarter, undefeated and a defensive genius .........and not to forget a betting favorite.

        Pacquiao is portrayed as a Top 10 ATG

        Floyd is viewed as a feather fisted, cowardly bum

        I think its pretty obvious who the world is expecting to win

        Floyd should be the underdog

          I don't believe in favourites for this fight. It's totally up in the air, shouldn't even have odds, and could go either way.

            I don't know man. The Pac fans bet hard and a lot.

            Who knows what the odds will be. Floyd may be a dog in this one.

            I'd wait to bet late if I was going for Money May.

              In logic sense though, if the world(not only boxing fans) wants to see Floyd lose then he might be or should be the underdog. Great fight though.

                YES, YES, YES

                Everybody hates on him, but they're too scared to make him the underdog

                This should be the fight that Floyd is supposed to lose

                    Floyd is suppose to win this fight. Just listen to people from BS, pacquiao has the odds stacked against hima gain just like his last fights, DLH, Hatton, Cotto. Pacquiao was the underdog but let me tell you pacquiao will shock the world again.
