Comments Thread For: Froch: The Smart Money is on Mayweather, on Points

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Four-time world champion Carl Froch believes Floyd Mayweather will edge Manny Pacquiao in 'the fight of the century' this weekend.

Froch, 37, was involved in a colossal rematch with George Groves at Wembley last spring and knows all about the bright lights of big-time boxing, but he admits he is 'like a kid in a sweet shop' at the prospect of two legends going head to head.

Mayweather, 38, puts his WBC and WBA (super) welterweight titles on the line with eight-division champion Pacquiao, 36, ******** his WBO strap in a Las Vegas bout worth $300m.

Nottingham's Froch favours the former but stresses the popular Filipino is not without hope.

Froch told Sky Sports News HQ: "I think the smart money is Mayweather on points. That's what everyone is saying but a lot of people are going to be open.

Froch is right.

[SeekDaGreat]

Oh really? And what type of evidence brought you to this very sophisticated line of thinking? Very genius.

[Weebler I]

Froch made a good point about the crowd, even if Manny is swinging and missing the crowd will be going crazy just like they were in the Bradley fight. That will favour the aggressor for sure.

Good assessment by the Cobra.

That's no different than any other Floyd fight.

Froch gave a pretty good analysis. But unfortunately he's right with the 2 judges and ref in Floyd's pocket this is just a lost cause for Manny . Actually thinking of streaming this fight

But the real smart, smart, money is on Pacquiao by knockout before the 8th round...
