Comments Thread For: Mayweather is Still The Favorite To Beat Pacquiao

[hugh grant]

Whatever the bookies say, Pac should be favourite. He is p4p no1 because he beat better fighters. The reason Pac is favourite against PBF is because he has fought fighters, whereas PBF has earned himself, whether rightly or wrongly a reputation for being a ducker.

PBF has been out of the ring for however long, although i dont really think that will effect him. But he beat JMM, 2 weights above JMMs fight weight. Not a really good indicator of where PBF is at this minute.

Would you say how PBF beat JMM was more impressive than how Pac beat Cotto? Rhetorical question. Of course it wasnt! So Pac is favourite against PBF.
What the bookies say is anyones guess. THey give odds that they hope will benefit their own pockets.

Cliched, flawed comments like this irritate me. Pac brings things to the table PBF hasnt seen. PBF hasnt fought anyone as highly rated as Pac for starters. That is a good enough reason in itself that floyd will lose. Pac brings plenty of things to the table PBF hasnt faced thats for sure. Pac can do things no one can do, so of course he brings things to the ring floyd hasnt experienced. So open your eyes a little before coming out with comments
and take the blinkers off ever so slightly.

Pac hasnt faced anyone as tecnically sound you are perhaps right. But all that means is that Pac will PROBABLY find it harder to hit PBF than he is used to.



Well that dont really mean much considering the opposition he faced and the weight he faced them in. PBF might start betting fave, but probably more people think Pac would beat PBF. We dont know how good PBF is at this stage having come out of retirement and his first fight is misleading.

Totally agree. He retired Hatton and dela hoya and possibly cotto too, i may add. Thats a world record by any means.

I can't wait to see Floyd beat Pacman with his superior boxing skills.

Thats wishfull thinking... keep dreaming.

mayweather is the favorite because he has won the psychological / mental game before the fight. team mayweather's slander and libel has been successful in planting seeds of doubt.

That is true. As PBF said in his interview "Boxing is not a gentelmans game". Meaning, defaming your opponent is fair play.

i guess i can add mind games to the reasons pac fans will say he lost, excuses!!!!!!

Ouch...........a fighter rolls out of bed after 21 months away..beats a fat JMM....and is favored to beat the P4P Number 1.

So much for Pac being this animal.

One of the main reasons is floyd doesn't just roll out of bed. He's always in great shape and almost always trains the same way, regardless of his opponent. He's not the type of guy who'll sit around on his ass all day while not fighting and really I didn't think he was going to "retire" anyhow. Just makes him more money when he comes back.

Mayweather is the favourite because punters who bet on boxing know the game inside out.

Mayweather is a 3-1 betting favorite. Thats all that needs to be said. Pac's camp will come up with anything to stay away from a great skilled slick boxer like Floyd. They don't even care if it makes them look like roid users.

Only one that made Pac look like a roid user was Floyd camp..

Floyd should be the favorite. But I hope the odds move towards Pac so I can make a bet on Floyd by UD.
