    Most are picking May to win because hes undefeated and Pac got ktfo recently, makes sense.

    Still, most who are picking Mayweather also see it as a near 50/50 fight, hence guys like Hatton, ODLH say they "lean" towards Mayweather.

    The most important pick is Teddy Atlas. Teddy picks Pacman, which means the curse has been cast and Maywetaher will win.

    These so called Boxing Experts always go with the betting favorite. All the time. That way they are presumably correct 9 out of 10 and credible for the future when all what they are doing is literally jumping on the most popular wagon. Ask those experts about a match up without providing any stats or opinions about and they will stun like a deer.

    Bayless has reffed more Pacquiao fights than Mayweather fights. In fact, if you look at most of Pac's big fights, it has been Bayless. You clowns make so many excuses. Arum was jumping for joy when Bayless was confirmed. Bayless will be making more than $25K, thanks to Arum bucks.

    A lot of guys are leaning their picks on the fact that Mayweather has "found a way" to beat guys that never had a chance to beat him in the first place.

    If I was backing Mayweather, I'd be REALLY uncomfortable about his last two performances. People aren't understanding just how non-elite Maidana really is.

    I mean really...Mayweather hasn't fought anybody who had half a chance in years...Ortiz, Maidana, Guerrero, shot Cotto, Alvarez...they're not bad fighters but still...it's not surprising that Mayweather beat them. What's surprising is that some of them had a degree of success.

    And they're nowhere near the level of Pacquiao.

    Alageri and Rios whom Pac fought after he was KO'd are way worse than Maidana.

    A lot of people gave Alvarez a great chance prior to the fight

    Doesn't mean that they are good judges.
    I would take much more interest in a matchmaker or a trainer's opinion.

    You got a few wrong there.
    Rigo.,Marquez 4., Cotto, and Wilder were not great surprises at all.

    I don't think Maidana would be a big favorite over Algieri and Rios, but that's not relevant to the point I was making since Pacquiao didn't remotely struggle with either of them.

    I gave Alvarez a chance, but that was based purely on how large I expected him to be.
