if hes so great and floyds such a coward..why would floyd be the betting favorite??

The odds would be based on all the paper stats, Floyd's record, his height, reach advantage and the fact Pac has had trouble with counter punchers. Floyd is supposed to win this fight but he's been deemed as a coward because he's not sure himself that he can win it and is avoiding the fight. Your ****** if you think Pac doesn't have the intangibles to win this fight.

Activity man- If Floyd had remained active and fought twice per year as most top boxers do, he would be the one getting the props but he isn't nearly active enough. His skill level is another thing altogether, he shuts the opponent's offense down to a level where he is comfortable and can do his thing. He will struggle greatly against Pacquiao man, no doubt about it. Can he win? Sure he could. Will he win? I don't know man, Pac is probably the most difficult puzzle in the world to figure out in terms of boxing- you can see the openings but you can do anything about it without taking a beating......Floyd definitely doesn't like the idea of taking a beating.

here's a common peception larry: a big great fighter beats a great smaller fighter......that is why floyd is the favorite.....SIZE is the reason!

Its a lil more than that. LOL. Now thats just denial.

Because betting odds have absolutely nothing to do with who the better fighter is or who the projected winner would be. Betting odds are determined solely by which fighter the bigger money falls under.

Floyd is an american with all kinds of celebrity consorts while pac is a foreigner. Of course floyd will be the betting favorite.

But im willing to bet you all your points that with all the strides pac has taken into the mainstream media the odds will be damn near even and far closer this time around compared to lasttime.

Depends on how Floyd looks against Ortiz. If he looks good 2/1 If he looks so so then closer to even.

manny has a punchers chance..no way hes outboxing floyd

[$tate of Mind]

Floyd would be the betting favorite against Manny because he's the MUCH better boxer. The sport is called "boxing" not "fighting" for a reason. If they ever fight Floyd is likely to give Manny a first class boxing lesson.

[RichCCFC]

Because Floyd is bigger and has longer arms.

BTW most bookies has this fight a toss up.

Floyd Mayweather Jr (4/5) Manny Pacquiao (10/11) Draw (25)

[-Antonio-]

He's never been beaten is the main reason.

Delahoya had success winning rounds with late flurries, you don't think Pac could be more active than delahoya and steal some rounds?

[puga]

Its a lil more than that. LOL. Now thats just denial.

trust me bro, i say it like i see it....if floyd and pac were the same size, im pretty sure pac would be the favoirte......i think it is fair to say floyd is the better boxer , pac is the better fighter......pac as small as he is, is believed to be a huge threat to floyd..now, imagine if he was as big as floyd....see what im sayin....

If you take what is a matter of opinion as fact, then your asking a legitimate question, atleast by your perception...and if you truly believe it as fact, then can't you just disregard your own question with, "they're wrong?" or maybe you've decided to join a growing trend of lame threads with their own agendas that aren't even interested in anyone elses opinion...but you know, do you.

Disregard the quotables because everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but they don't mean anything in the ring, just look at the fight on paper.
