How much credit can you really give a 4-1 favorite ?

[1 on 1]

bert sugar was on the radio friday, telling everybody he was leaning towards mosley, take those odds.

steward said it was an even fight.

those guys have been around the sport a while, i'm sure they'll give floyd more credit than you do.

anyway, like larry said, it's HOW floyd won. don't think too many ppl thought it was gonna end up 11-1 on the scorecards.

Evidently, some of the boxing insiders were wrong on this one, it ain't the first time.

Remember when the same insiders gave PAC no chance in hell of beating De La Joto, they also felt Flattened was gonna give PAC a real fight. Okay now.

Uhh, i wasn't impressed by it, i was expecting that kind of route,didn't you, Mr. I know boxing.

Then maybe you would like to explain how Floyd creates and utilizes fake distance?

Pac doesn't do much of that, though. He use real distance due to fast feet.

What the f**k is fake distance, is that the same thing as check hook, swagga step, you know what i'm sayin', i ax you a question.

C'mon, man. Y'all hootin' and hollerin' as if the unthinkable happened, there's a reason for those odds being so wide.

I personally don't give any props to someone who is that big of a favorite. How can you, if you're a huge favorite, it means they expect you to put on a dominating performance.

He didn't just beat Mosley, he dominated him.

Like I said, I expected it. Ya need to check your boxing IQ then.

To this day I have never found anyone who claims they "know boxing" able to tell me what fake distance is, how it is created and what it's for.

floyd would be a huge betting favorite over manny too---he was a 3-1 favorite over manny when the fight fell through last time---and by the time the buildup is over, it'll be a bigger odd---that i do know----and floyd will once again deliver the goods against manny and dominate him also---and stop him by round 8----yes, i"m saying it again--he will stop manny by round 8---guaranteed---manny won't land over 20% of his shots, guarantee you---

I'm not a betting guy. But, it's quite clear I know more about boxing than you. I ain't the one jumpin' up and down about a 4-1 favorite winning in the manner he did.

If you are not a betting man,why concern yourself with the casino's odds?
The truth is,there was a great deal of people who believed Shane was too fast and too strong.Not many people on this website were ever going to say Floyd would fight toe to toe with Shane-hell,not one!
Floyd just "upped" the ante for Manny-he easily beat the man Freddie admitted was too good to fight Pacquiao!
Deal with it....

If you knew Floyd would dominate then you would have bet the house on Floyd, only a fool would run from free money.

lol-didn't Manny run from "Money"!!!???
