    that was just a year ago. and he weighs 144 against cotto and 145 against clottey. he could easily make 140 right now if needed and 135 with enough work and effort. floyds last fight at 140 is 5 years or 8 fights ago.

    it has nothing to do with p4p, fighter of the decade nonsense, who has the bigger resume etc.

    It all has to do with where the money is being bet on. Plain simple.

    PBF will get **** all credit when he beats Pac. THey will still use that Pac is smaller line.


    Pac has already defeated Hatton, Cotto and Clottey who all started at higher weight classes than PBF.

    PBF started at 130 those other guys started at 140-147. So if Pac can school those guys how the **** are you going to say that PBF is too big. And how the **** are you going to say that Pac is p4p better when PBF is the favorite to beat him AND they are at the same weight class.

    I'm not sure if you understand how a line is set. Are you implying the bookies or wrong or voicing your awe at the stupidity of people betting differently than you think prudent? If its the latter you can capitalize on the other sides lack of knowledge by plunking down a bet. Sports betting is very democratic and placing bets is an easy way to capitalize on a situation like this.

    I expect Floyd to start as a slight favorite at the bookies but as the fight comes nearer, the odds will become even or might sway to Pacquiao as the slight favorite come fight night.

    I think you are right but I expect Pacquiao to be the underdog fight night.. It all depends on where the money is coming from. Smart bet is Floyd UD. moneymaker is a draw.

    The same reason every favorite is the favorite: they are expected to win.

    its amazin what an unbeaten record does for bookmakers. stupid people bet undefeated fighters when they dont look in depth to the fight at hand. its gonna be a close fight. prime example is jeff lacy, his undefeated status made him bookies favourite against joe calzahe, see what happened there. 50 million dollars was lost betting on lacy. pavliks undefeated status made him favourite against bhop. see what happened there.

    Easy cause Floyd is p4p #1. Lets see Manny beats Diaz, Delahoya, Hatton, Cotto, and Clottey. Floyd defeats Delahoya, Hatton, Marquez(decisively), and Mosley.

    Its not hard to see
