    He says when may/PAC was on in 09 or 10 the Vegas odds flipped in mannys favor substantially. He said this is why Floyd ducked Manny.

    Seems silly, if Floyd is the underdog according to Vegas then he potentially makes more money if he bets on himself or has others bet on him.

    Im assuming you're trying to bait and say that Floyd was scared of Manny and the odds shift pushed him off the edge? They both aged at the same rate, Manny was better in 09/10 but so was Floyd, I would call bs on that, I highly doubt Pacquiao would have been the favorite for any serious bookies at any point.

    Nobody is baiting. Sugar said PAC was the favorite 8 to 5. It's on YouTube. Do some research before you cry baiting.

    If it Bert Sugar said it, I'd take it with a pinch of salt tbh.

    That's how I see it. I'm not his biggest fan. Not having Holmes top 10/hw? Come on

    I think he was drunk, but he said Carnera could beat both of the Klitchkos.
