    Manny has been in a few fights since stepping up where he has been the underdog - ODL or where plenty of people gave his opponent a major chance - Cotto. Floyd usually takes the fights where his opponent will be a 3.5-1 to dog at least. Every single fight he has there is a list longer than this forum of fighters who would be half the dog of the guy he is fighting.

    The line now for Floyd vs. Manny is Manny +125 which would make Manny the shortest priced underdog x 2 in Floyd's entire career.
    Floyd had to be pressured into fighting Shane which was his max being Mosley was priced in at +350. usually the vacation man likes to be a 5-1 favorite.
    Manny is so much dangerous than anyone Mayweather has ever dreamed of fighting and being only +125 no wonder why Floyd is running away. This is so far from his comfort level it is not even funny. Makes sense he can even utter a complete sentence about this fight.

    Chad Dawson thought the same thing no doubt before facing Pascal.

    Styles make fights mate, simple as that.

    Yeah right, that's why he knocked out a bloated Marquez and 38 yr old co-GBP owner in Mosley... Oh wait he didn't knock them out... :nut

    lol wow trying to say that because he isnt a 5-1 favourite he is scared? he is still favoured to win idiot. y dont u just say he is scared because he chose to go on vacation instead of negotiating a deal to fight him, at least u will sound sane.

    yes no ****, floyd is an excellent fight but he has not challanged himself in years. Pac is not as good a boxer as floyd (i think) but will be a legend cause he has won so many unwinnable fights.

    Pascal vs Dawson showed me that Floydette will lose this fight. Dawson was the boring safety first gifted boxer who fought B+ to A- fighters at best but hasnt been tested by an A to A+ fighter same goes for Floydette. Except I dont think Floydette will make it through the fight without getting knocked the **** out.
