Despite the demands, Manny will have the mental advantage when he fights Floyd.

    I can't think of an active boxer who's more mental than Floyd Mayweather. :deal :D

    Floyd is doing the right thing making some of you believe he's afraid and when the times comes he will shock the world and more excuses will pour out.

    I don't think you understand the concept of being the favourite.

    If Floyd rediscovers his urge and goes ahead with this fight, he will most likely enter as the favourite. Therefore, if he wins it will not shock the world, as he'll be the favourite.

    Glad I could help

    Manny is a warrior and has fought better guys, but Floyd's speed might neutralize any advantage Manny has.

    If Floyd signs the contract I got a feeling we will see a super condition, well prepared, and very focus Floyd. I would not be shock if he doesn't talk **** that much or make stupid remarks during the press conferences. Pac is the only boxer I feel that will make Floyd step his game up another level.

    Erm, again I don't think you understand how concept of 'the favourite' works. You cannot choose not to be the favourite. :patsch

    The favourite is determined by bookmakers and is done according to the odds that they set for each fighter to win the fight. If Mayweather has the shortest odds, he will be the favourite. He cannot call a meeting for the worlds bookmakers and say "you know what, I really don't want to be the favourite in this fight. I'd appreciate it if I could be the underdog this time".

    If this was the case every fighter would ask to be the underdog, put $1mil on themselves then smash the **** out of some hobo and collect £10 mil winnings.

    Also, I'll point out that 'WHO U PICKING?' was a name given to a fight to imply an even, 50:50 contest and therefore increase it's audience. Promoters like to name fights in such a way, and tend to avoid giving names that will result in a poor amount of PPV sales.

    Do you think 'Best fighter on planet fights 39 former juicer' sounds as appealing as 'Who u picking?'

    Glad I could help.
