What are those odds in non ******ed terms ?

I know you know why he doesn't cut off the ring but others think he's incapable of doing so. It's by design so he can set up money shot, straight left down the pipe. He's trying to goad his opponents into position. If he wanted to cut the ring off he could.

Watch the middle rounds of the Cotto fight, the Mosley fight, when they began to move Pac just followed and got frustrated because they wouldnt engage. Even against Algieri Pac couldnt do it consistently. Pac likes to fight People who engage so he doesnt have to cut the ring because he has problems cutting off the ring.

Your assessment assumes Mayweather as an ordinary opponent. He does not have to engage Pac to win, If Pac cant land and Mayweather pot shots, he will win.

pac isn't ordinary himself.

everything favors floyd. height, reach, styles, even ring age. floyd should win.

the thing is.... pac has a knack for winning fights he's not suppose to.

that is true. he didn't catch them or cut off the ring.

now who won those rounds?

you can stay away from pac if you want. but it'll be 10-9 pac.

The article is ******ed , it says PAC is plus -220 to 250. Makes no sense. What they really mean is PAC is a 2.5 to 1 underdog. I'm surprised by how much Vegas favours Floyd in this fight.

Bookies are smart.

Floyd would (and should) be favorite.

But, if the fight ever gets made expect to see the odds for Pacquaio shorten on fight week.

When that happens (and it will) Floyd will get nervous and start all his little tricks to load the dice back in his favor.

If Pacquaio gets himself into real shape and is relaxed and confident I would not bet against him stopping Floyd.

casual fan money. "oh floyd is undefeated, pac got koed by jmm"

plus the sharks will be on floyd. boxer vs boxer puncher usually favors the boxer.

pac is better than 2.5 to 1 but the money will be 2.5 to 1.

now the real question is will it go UP or DOWN? bet now or wait?

this is non-issue...the issue is will the favorite turn up to fight?

fans will not mind who will be the favorite...just make the fight happen...

and i have this feeling that chickenfloyd will be as chicken as ever...
