    I've only had Pac as the underdog two times: the 2nd Morales fight and the Hatton fight. I thought Hatton's body punching and new found defense from Floyd senior would give Pac trouble. But Pac's power at 140 lbs and Hatton's wide open chin were far too much for Hatton to overcome. I knew Pac was too fast and powerful for either De La Hoya or Cotto.

    Only De La Hoya

    I thought the Hatton fight would be a good one at the time though I didn't really choose a winner. Didn't expect it to end so early. Looking back though I should have saw it coming.

    Ditto for me too. I became a Cotto fan(Still am:good) like a month before Cotto/Pacquiao but still thought Pacquiao would win. After he ko'd Hatton I vowed never count Pacquiao out. I thought he would beat Clottey & he did but I was on a Clottey train so I betted some vcash on Clottey. Smart?Probably not. Would I do it again? Yes because I stayed true to my word:good.
     
  4. Haven't picked against him since the first Barrera fight. Guess that makes me a *******?

    People actually thought Hatton was going to win? lol.

    I thought Barrera was going to starch him, and I thought Marquez would win both times. De La Hoya I was split on, but the catchweight stuff and DLH being sorta past his prime had me leaning toward Pac.

    vs Barrera 1. I think everyone did.

    And I picked Oscar until I saw Oscar weighed less than Pac. Than I picked Pac to win.

    Floyd-Gatti was ****ing obvious though. Gatti was a warrior but he was way too one-dimensional of a brawler to successfully beat mayweather. In regard to boxing styles it's literally paper vs. rock.. Gatti wasn't even an intelligent brawler.

    Nah, so many people were picking Gatti, "too strong, too powerful, too big".


    Oh man those, Orishaman's post on why Baldomir beats Floyd.

    TKO 11 Baldomir :rofl

    Baldobum is a joke.

    The best thing about both Pacquiao and Mayweather is that people write essays and essays about how they will lose their next fight. They quote size statistics, boxing theory, ridiculous estimations of chin and stamina blah blah blah but every time they come out on top. This is why they neeeed to fight.
