    Yeah but its not effective weight, Guerrero looks so out of shape for a fighter at 147 where as Mayweather is toned and ripped because it is more naturally his weightclass compared to Guerrero.

    It was effective enough for him to bully Andre Berto who is much bigger than Floyd. Guerrero made a point to note to Floyd that he was a lot smaller than Berto.

    :roflYou r not serious, right?? IFFFF, and only IF, Guerrero gives ANY kind of trouble to Floyd, it would be most probably due to a combo factor of age, inactivity/jail stint... Very unlikely scenario though. This version of Floyd should still be miles above Guerrero.

    The odds changed when the bookmakers found out Guerrero had a gun.

    +600 for Pretty Boy? Those are the kind of odds where you bet the house. Some people putting money on The Ghost must have lost their mind.

    In other words risking 1 to get 10 is worth the risk to a lot of people. I don't know how much people acatuly wager, but if you risk 100 you get 1000 back. Not bad at all. However from the book maker point of view. If Guerrero wins they would have to pay out. They have a bussness to run and need to make sure that they still have one.

    The odds have gone down and there hasnt even.been any hype for the fight, no press conference, no training footage or pre-fight build up. I remember when this fight was first mentioned, there were tons of experts saying Gierrero had a decent shot at the upset. Whenever betting and picking a winner, there are main factors that u must take into account to weigh ur options in risk vs reward. Guerrero is the most well rounded fighter Floyd has faced since Zab Judah. Guerrero has A LOT going for him stylistically, youth, activity and even size and is one of the most motivated guy we've seen in some time. He is a legitimate threat and the odds should shrink even more as we get closer to the fight.

    I bet boxing alot. the line moves because nobody is gonna lay $1000 to win $100 on mayweather. so all the money will be on Guerrero. about a few hours before the fight is when the celebs and big money guys come in and lay the $100k to win $10k, it easy an easy $10k.

    i didnt say he was gonna beat floyd. there is a reason floyd is fighting him because he thinks he cant lose. but, if u think those other factors u mentioned wont take into account, u r ******ed.
