    While i do agree this is the closest odds Mayweather has seen in a long long time he is still the clear favorite for this fight don't you agree though?

    Smart money is definitely with Floyd. I don't see Manny winning decision unless he gets a KD or 2 early, Floyd will manage the range, is smarter, has more tools to attack and defend (better jab) and has physical advantage.

    Manny needs a blitzkrieg early.

    Last time I commented on that thread... It's closer now.
    Floyd was 3-1 against Canelo, Pac was 3-1 against Bradley I believe. By your logic a Floyd victory would hold the same value as the fights listed above.

    IMO, the odds mean jack. People thought Martinez would beat Cotto... Proof the odds mean nothing. Cotto didn't over come the odds, people over estimated Martinez.

    Why the odds matter to you is alarming and the fact that you try to tip the odds in Pac's opponent's favor all the time truly destroys the integrity of the odds. What's in it for you? Does knowing that the odds are not legit truly make you feel better?

    It's like rigging a race then being happy you won. If you truly want to tip the odds, praise Mayweather. Talking down on him all the time actually devalues a Pacquiao victory.

    Mayweather is a good fighter i don't really doubt that to be honest.

    Even if the odds get real closer it does not real mean that much people will bet on pac because you can make more money that way, what i am trying to point out here is that Mayweather is seen as the favorite i think most sane people would agree with me.

    Lets forget all this odds rubish and talk with some sort of common sense do you agree with me that Pac is the underdog in this fight?

    Hard to say, Pacquiao, stylistically is supposed to give Floyd problems. Remember? Floyd has problems with speed, foot work, southpaws, never fought a fast and strong fighter, or an ATG in their prime. Remember all that?

    By all that talk, Pacquiao should have an easy night.

    You always run when you can't explain yourself lol

    You said let's put the odds aside, then you said Pac is the underdog. Odds aside, how is he the underdog? Is Floyd more skilled? What is it exactly?

    I'm not trolling you, just trying to understand.

    I am not talking from what i think because i feel its laughable Pac is seen as the underdog but he will soon put that to rest

    The only reason why i said odds aside was to bring it home even more

    What i am telling you is that Mayweather has never "lost" so he has this aura of invincibility he has much more pressure and this is part of the reason why he is fav.

    and when you bring the odds into the equation it proves my point even more so

    Take the odds away, is Pac an underdog or not? Why or why not?
