    I definitely favor Floyd but suspect he'll show some new vulnerability. Wouldn't be shocked if he got dropped or something.

    How can you pick against him when for almost a decade he's only been with fighters who he has been expected unanimously to beat?

    Past prime Oscar and past prime Mosley? Cotto was a good win but no one really expected Cotto to take it, just like they wouldn't if Cotto was at 140.

    Because he'd have to go to 160 in order for him to be an underdog

    Well it's hard to pick against most champions if they're fighting Carlos Baldomir.

    Corrales.

    Thought Floyd's hands wouldn't hold up, and with his uncle wanting him to be more offensive I thought he'd get lured in to a war where Chico's bigger power and size would take over.


    It didn't.

    I've never picked against him, and I think he will win on Sat. However, Guerrero is good value for this fight. I think he's a 6 or 7 to 1 underdog and he should be around 3-4. I'd bet a little on him Sat.

    Ortiz. Still believe had that incident not happened Ortiz would have stopped or beat may up.

    Ortiz's best shot, his right hook, was landing over and over again over may's philly shell. I remember ortiz smiling in the 4th, may had pretty much hit him with every shot he could have at that point, it seemed like ortiz realized may had no real pop and was going to get stronger and stronger.

    Besides the random times ortiz tries to box in every fight, he was a terrible style matchup for floyd.


    Floyd made a huge mistake making that fight after a year off. He lucked out hard.

    Well so would I, that **** by itself would be an event, I'm just saying it to look cool after it happens :D

    (But if there ever was a time I had that feeling, it's now.)

    What?!?! How did an, at the time, 8yo boxing expert like you pick against Floyd? :huh You were so smart as an 8yo die hard expert in the making. this is just odd!!















    Like I said....you try to hard to date yourself as some old die hard. :yep
