    Mayweather is more than a 3/1 favorite. The odds in the Mosley fight and the Marquez fight were about that close.

    i don't think so.

    i can get 3 to 1 for my money on Alvarez.

    I seem to remember i could get between 7 and 9 to 1 for the Marquez and Mosley fights.

    actually just looking back, mosley was about the same your right.

    and yes hatton was also similar odds.

    It just shows i guess. probably wise to just bet on floyd again!

    i think so. there are harder fights than canelo, but none that everyone feels need to happen.

    You guys complaining about the fight being at 152 are full of ****. First of all the fight is still in the LMW division. 154 is just the MAX you can weigh on fight night. Its an attempt to level the playing field between a fighter that will weigh 151 on fight night, with the other coming in at 170. It's not that difficult to wrap your head around unless you're a ****in ******.

    And people talking about how Floyd doesnt fight anyone who can beat him, anyone from 160-140, Floyd will be the favorite. Deal with it.
