I was asked a interesting question yesterday: Has Mayweather ever...

Never. Not even close. I don't think even less than 2.5 to 1. I think whatever the line was on ODLH was the highest price you could have got on Floyd his whole career

 

shut up
He was the underdog against Corrales
2000

1. Shane Mosley
2. Felix Trinidad
3. Roy Jones Jr.
4. Oscar De La Hoya
5. Diego Corrales
6. Naseem Hamed
7. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
8. Lennox Lewis
9. Erik Morales
10. Bernard Hopkins

 

Corrales who was about to go to jail, weight drained and wobbly?

 

:rofl That's why Corrales stayed at that weight for 2 more years later.
As for going to jail, I guess Floyd has his excuse ready for him for Pacquiao :deal

 

i dont think floyd should be ever considered underdog not even against pac

 

When May and Corrales fought most people were split, or maybe even more Corrales.. I remember thinking Corrales would win and so did everyone watching the fight with me.

I was wrong about him and Chicanito too. I knew Mayweather was an excellent talent.. BUt had no idea he would handle Chicanito like that, much less win.. Thought Chicanito would have to much experience.. Dont know the odds but alot of people felt the same.

He was favored over Manfredy but not as big as some of the younger fans here might think... Manfredy was hot at the time and was either in the pfp rankings or very close. I picked Mayweather but thought Manfredy was alive underdog... All of these early in Mays first title reign.. Dont think hes been an underdog since.

 

That's just a Ring p4p list. That has nothing to do with who the betting favorite and underdog were - and neither necessarily has to do with who the majority of diehard boxing fans perceived as the favorite or underdog.

Mayweather was actually -140 (some bookies had even money).

 

cmon....its Floyd Mayweather Jr. what do you think?

 

C'mon...it's Floyd Mayweather Jr. People tend not to.

 

anarci is one of the O-est OGs on the General Forum. :good

In fact, I'm pretty sure he holds his own with all but the upper 15th-20th percentile of the Classic in terms of longevity. :think

 

yeah i know, but I couldn't find the actual odds and this was the best thing i could come up with to demonstrate that Floyd wasn't favored to win :conf

 

How is -140 not favored to win?

 

hard to be an underdog with that much talent and natural ability
