Comments Thread For: Pacquiao a Massive Favorite Over Mosley in Betting Circles

[LeadUppercut]

I was never a big Wright fan either and I cant remember officially or not. As for Hop vs Calzaghe. I picked Hop and didn't agree on Joe winning but its what ever. A draw would have been good.

Cotto, I picked to beat Pac at the last minute (24/7 and its hype). Pullcounter tried to convince me otherwise but I picked Cotto last second. But yes, I agree it is his best win above 130 it's just too bad he demanded a catchweight and got to Cotto after Margarito. Either way I picked Cotto. The one and only other time I picked against Pac was vs JMM II.

Anyway as people can see Hop's always supposed to lose. Much like Mayweather before 2008, yet all of Europe had Hatton KO'ing Mayweather. That to me was a GREAT match up but over all Mayweather was the favorite over the undefeated Ricky Hatton. Pac as you can see is the wide favorite because yes he's that good but also because the fighters "picked" arent that great anymore or have looked like shyt for quit some time. Its not like he's fighting champions out there and the one time he did (Cotto) had to have some kind of advantage/"catch" to it.

Anyway we're way off topic.

Maybe off-topic, but a fair assessment anyways.

Good point, it is harder to bet against Manny than it is against Hopkins.

Manny deserves credit for that, but Hopkins deserves credit for stepping up and beating those odds.

If anybody's going to be putting money on Mosley (just for the hell of it), now's the time. In five months when the fight rolls around you would have forgotten that you had money on the fight anyway, and if someway in hell Mosley wins, well, that's a nice present when you realize you won a decent amount.

But the only bet worth placing on Mosley is a KO anyway. Everything we as humanity have known for centuries would be wrong if Mosley pulled off a decision. My God that'd be some shocker.
