Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao: Vegas Oddsmakers Pick Floyd

[El-blanco]

Vegas should troll Floyd and make PAC a 4/1 favorite

Haha brilliant

[KnickTillDeaTh]

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.

Pac was not favored against Medgoen Singsurat,Pac was not favored over Moarales in they're first fight from what I remember. Thats a bad superstition to put a wager on.

[KnickTillDeaTh]

if he doesn't run then they'll trade.

what's the problem?

if pac can't cut off the ring because those guys ran and floyd won't run.....

your point is moot no?

LOL, no. Mayweather will box, he will hit Pac and move, run is what Lara did against Canelo, what Cotto, Mosley, and Algieri did when they were in trouble against Pac. Mayweather will counter, pot shot, right straight, shoulder roll and move out, if Pac gets to close Mayweather will hold. When Mayweather steps out he will command the distance and if Pac cant cut the ring he will have a very tough night.

I think it will go down and probably sit at 2-1 dog come fight night. 2.5 to 1 is a great bet now. Hopkins was 3-1 dog against Pavlik and look how that turned out. I still remember my buddy talking **** through that whole fight cus he took hop lol. Anytime I think about this matchup I think about the zab fight and how terrible Floyd looked for four rounds. I think it's the same the whole fight through. Floyd hates speed and angles.

Pretty much everybody knows you have to shock Mayweather with in the first 3-4 rounds because he has his opponent timed by then. Mosley almost did it.

that's still engaging.

plus floyd uses distance FWD and REV not really lateral.

you overestimate floyd's movement. he doesn't run even though newbs act like he does.

you overestimate how much pac needs to cut off the ring. floyd's not gonna be running around in circles.

The beauty of this, Manny always excels when he is the underdog... Manny was the underdog against Ledwaba, he was the underdog against Barrera 1, he was the underdog against Oscar and i think he was a slight underdog against Cotto but i'm not really sure.. The point is, Manny always gives his very best performance whenever he is the UNDERDOG...

I find this interesting as well. Newbs act like running like Lara did is slick boxing and something Floyd does, he doesn't. He uses subtle movement to evade. It amazes me how these idiots think moving laterally and firing off 1, 2's is the epitome of boxing, and they think that because theyre under the impression that's what Floyd does.

pac was the defending champ. had just beaten down the lineal 112 champ/#1-2 rated flyweight in the world. singsurat had no notable wins before pac.

morales had just lost to barrera before the pac fight. even AFTER beating pac in the 1st fight, pac was still favored in the rematch.

We are talking about fighting weights not walk around weight. If you wanna say that Algieri is bigger then Pac between fights thats cool, but we are talking about in the ring and in the ring Pac is and was the bigger man when they fought.

In the middle of the ring Mayweather has a very wide stance, he keeps his rear foot on his toe, when he steps out its almost 3 steps or more due to the wide stance Pac cant try to run him down the hole fight. Mayweather steps out using that wide stance and then he usually steps left, thats going to happen alot, its part of Mayweathers fighting style. Pac catching up to Mayweather is going to play a big role in this fight.
