    Please, Pac fans talk about Floyd just as much as Floyd fans, a la STRUGG, Pullcounter, Rbgnwo, etc.

      There's nobody at WW right now though who's a good pressure fighter in his prime.

      I'd make him the underdog against Mathysse at 140 too. Maybe even Khan.

      Fraud is soft and folds under questioning.
      are you being serious??

        as for fight fans, they would probably also lean towards Floyd...

        we dont know how Sergio would do against a slick, pot shotting, elusive, smaller fighter that's very accurate....we've seen him whoop dominant ****ers that came to him, we dont know how good he is at chasing being the one to apply the pressure...
        I agree. Mayweather would definitely be the favorite, though it would be close. Maybe in the -150 range.

        I was just asking, because some people seem to be saying "I'd make him the underdog", and I was assuming Larry wasn't asking for personal opinion, but rather the Vegas odds.

        I think with Sergio, there's guys like Pavlik, who obviously make him look outstanding. And then there's guys like Mayweather, who could potentially make him look really bad.

          Are you wanting to know who we, as individuals, would have as the favorite/underdog in the fight?

          Or are you wanting to know who Las Vegas Oddsmakers would open as the favorite/underdog?

                If they fought above 154, I think Mayweather would be the underdog. Martinez is so hyped right now and Mayweather so inactive, Martinez would be the betting favorite.

                  The person who said Floyd is soft and folds under questioning deserves to have his mother kicked in the mouth.

                  I don't care if she's dead or not.

                    As for Fraud, I'd make him the underdog against any prime pressure fighter that's in his weight class.

                    For instance, if he fought Margarito in his prime circa 2006-2008, I'd make Margarito the overdog in that fight by k.o.
                    first of all im quite sure "overdog" isnt a real word. but more importantly LOL!!!!!!! at margarito being favored to beat floyd even in his prime and pressure fighters being the ones to beat floyd.

                    pressure fighters are tailor made for floyd. leftys, long reach, good jab, fast hands and boxing IQ (mainly the ability to use feints to set traps) are the things that give floyd problems. pressure fighters are like a x-mas gift.

                    to answer TS i would personally favor martinez over floyd, i think betting would be about even. sergio is fast, smart, skilled, a southpaw and has a big size advantage on floyd. floyd didnt look quite like himself in his only fight at 154, against martinez he would likely fight at a higher weight than that.
