[Boxin']

O love how people say that since hes the favprite he shpuldnt get credit. Dumb-Dumbs.

You are the one saying Pacquiao is a media created hypejob...

And Floyd will outwigh Pac by atleast 10 pounds...

Why is that?

(serious question no hate)

I see it everytime with mayweathers opponents... floyd opened up as -165 favorite against mosley and then it ended up to be -500 on some sites.. I think what it is, is that everyone gets so excited that the fight was just made.... "oh my god, floyd mayweather is fighting the amazing sugar shane mosley!", but then throughout all the newspaper articles and the 24/7's of analyst breaking down the fights, people come back down to earth and remember that the man is undefeated and has never really even came close to losing. Plus Mayweather does a pretty damn good job of talking himself up and making people think,"you know what, that crazy **** is right he might be the best". Plus every fight Mayweather brings in new fans from the mainstream who may or may not even really know his opponent, so they place their money on the guy who talks like he is the best and has a "0".

Im not saying this is right, but i think its the reason why. IMO

That means he's the best, if he's the favorite against the so called best, it means Money is really the best. Who would he be an underdog against unless he goes up 2 weight classes.

Paul Williams @154?

Floyd is clearly the better all-around boxer, but this fight can go either way..Pacquiao is an energizer, and he won't stop even when he get his head snaps back and forth..

when his head is snapping and he's not landing in return it will change his psyche like all the others before him. By the 6th round he will be staring off into space while roach is trying to motivate him to keep trying.

Actually I rather pac be the favorite so that I can get some good odds. Why aren't the legion of *******s putting that guap up?

so you're conceeding the loss already? Clottey outweighed Pac by more, he wasn't the favorite.

No im just saying that he will outweigh Pac by 10 pounds.

Im not saying Pac wont take away his 0

[Pretty Boy Greg]

Usually it's the other way around. The odds get more even the closer to the fight. Last Monday it was -400 for Mayweahter over Mosley, by fight time I got -180 for Mayweather.

yeah the last hour changes dramatically... im saying wait a couple days before the fight to place your money on mayweathers opponent

floyd weighed 147 in the ring against mosley

[-Antonio-]

im putting 1000 bucks right now on sportsbetting,com for mayweather....

-140 mayweather LMAO.... that **** will be -400 by time the fight starts...

if you guys r betting on packy wait til the last minute, the odds will only get better for you the closer the fight gets...

I disagree. I don't think the line will move more than 2-1 in favor of Floyd. There are a lot of Pac fans that will keep this line from moving too much.
