Is Floyd favored against Direll and Bute at 168?

[The Big Dunn]

The guy clearly has no clue about the sport. LMAO there are weight classes for a reason. Floyd's optimum weight is at 147. And if you actually have boxed for real you would know that size still does matter especially if the big guy knows how to fight.

You are discussing who wins the fight. I only said floyd would be the favorite going in.

This makes me hate the Internetz.

If boxingscene is any indication, then the bettting odds are 99:1 right now.

Fine with me. At least you posted the whole thread where I corrected your interpretation immediately in post #111.

I believe he would be favored going in. No one has posted anything to change my opinion.

I would like to meet the people betting in favor of Floyd for these fights..... behind bullet proof glass of course.

The responses to your thread have provided no reasoning other than size, and the usual name calling and other BS. What it comes down to is if you believe floyds skills are superior to the size advantages and you would thus pick floyd. I guess name recognition would be a factor also. And I said even money with dirrell didn't I?

I think that will be the logic going in, I think that was somewhat the logic in rjj/ruiz.

lol not even in floyd's wildest dreams would he ever entertain such matchup and yet some of his fans think he will be favored

That's a horrific example, stop bringing up Jones and Ruiz.

They would be favored because they have size, speed, power, and skill. Not just size. Floyd is also not big enough to make the jump without losing a lot. Not some, a lot. The only people who would even think Floyd has a chance, let alone would bet on him to win, are the crazy nuthuggers or insane gamblers.

I don't know whether to take these threads seriously or not. I took the one about Floyd vs. Valuev seriously and they voted in the poll that Floyd would win because he already beat up Big Show. If you are serious I think boxing scene will pick Floyd to win. Hell, they would pick Floyd to beat King Kong or Superman. I think pro odds makers, bookies, are going to favor the 168 lb fighters. I would give him a small chance to beat Direll and almost no chance to beat Bute. I can't wait to read who boxing scene picks.

I went back to the other thread and I said dirrell would be even money. Hoepfully, you read it and see I simply am talking about bring the betting favorite goiing in.

I must not hold bute in the same regard as you do because what he brings I don't think would make him the favorite. Dirrell seems to inexperienced to me. He does bring those things you posted, but are IMO not enough to make him the betting favorite.

Nuthuggers and insane gamblers. No more hyperbole.
