    No your right Spinks was the underdog I just remembered acouple of old schoolers picking Spinks to school Tyson, but Tyson was favoured to win.

    Hopkins was a 3.5/1 underdog to Tito. I know because I accidentally rolled all of my online account onto that fight instead of the few dollars I wanted.

    He completely whipped that ass and I won my rent money for the month. The fight was never in doubt.

    slight underdog in the Corrales fight. It was "almost" even in Vegas...but Floyd was a slight underdog as I recall...I believe they mentioned this during the fight too.

    I remember Mosley bet a million on himself in either this fight or the rematch. Either way, good call on your part.

    Puritty-Wlad
    Sanders-Wlad
    Brewster-Wlad

    Especially the sanders fight was brutal. Wlad was exposed badly. The 2003 version of Sanders smashes Wlad 10 out of 10 times. No matter how much Wlad tries to look like John Ruiz nowadays..

    This has become the go-to criticism of Floyd from *******s recently and it's quite amusing. To them, it's "see, Floyd cherry picks and has such a light resume because he is always the betting favorite". In reality, Floyd would be favored against pretty well anyone below Andre Ward due to his extraordinary skillset and commitment to the sport. That is something to be celebrated and not criticized.
