    I give him a 20% chance of winning

    I feel so weird about the fight, not pupmed up, not expecting anything, if Floyd starts puting on a beatdown, i'll change the channel

  3. i give jmm a 60% chance of winning.floyds coming of a near two year lay off which isn't good even if you are floyd.A dont think floyd should have picked a stud like jmm to fight and even at 35 is still one of the best fighters/counter punchers around today. If jmm can dictate the pace and fight his fight and be patient. floyd will make mistakes which jmm must capitalise on. am going for jmm by split decision 114-113 x 2 for jmm and a 116-112 floyd in a highly competive fight. On a personal note a wouldn't mind seeing floyd get bust up a little just to put a bit of shine on it bit of blood never hurt anybody.i am going to amsterdam the weekend of the fight does anybody know if dutch tv are covering the fight, im probably pissing into the wind here but its worth a shot!

    How about if Mayweather starts to potshot to a comfortable cruise-control victory, would you change the channel?

    No, what I mean is if no one wants to engage (may end up like that when you have 2 counterpunchers) and ends up as a target practice of the sweet science of Potshotting.

    Basically, this is the best chance JMM will ever have of beating PBF due to Floyd's inactivity for almost 2 years....WIth that being said, i still favor Floyd about 65/35, as if this fight happened a few years ago i'd say more along the line of 90/10

    DLH hadn't weighed in that low for 12 years, he was clearly weight drained....and he was 35 years old. Floyd will be at what is now his natural weight, but perhaps a little rusty. It's not a sensible comparison just for that alone, but to cite one fight where size was not a factor does not mean that size will not be relevant in this fight.

    I'll still give Floyd credit, I think he is too good for JMM, and the size difference and potential ring rust might just cancel each other out...at least for the first few rounds.

    TS, i'd give marquez as good as chance of beating mayweather jr. as i would give pacquiao. neither pacquiao or marquez are superior to one another!

    Don't worry, I will make a similar poll/thread for Pacquiao-Mayweather IF that fight gets made...

    Right now, I'm interested how much % chance you give to JMM to defeat Floyd...
