    Pretty sure Corrales was the favourite going into their fight.

    Corrales was a slight favorite. Genaro Hernandez was something like a 3-1 favorite over Mayweather. Neither guy managed to win a round and both were stopped.

    corrales was a favorite...Floyd became the favorite the day of the hernandez fight..when the betting opened floyd was a 3-1 underdog....

    most top prospects/am boxers are rarely not favourite as they go up the ranks, not all countries have the hard road like Philipines or mexico where kids are fighting grown men /!!
