    You're right. He's only an 2/7 underdog :)

    He's an underdog for a reason ... every Mayweather opponent is an underdog and all 39 of them have lost ... good thing its only 10 pounds you lose.

    I'm starting to feel that way too. Ever since I put down a hefty bet on Mayweather, I'm been feeling nervous. But before that I was convinced that it wouldn't really even be competitive.

    I just wish it was over already. :?

    Youre right, he's not a 5-1 dog, he's a 8-1 dog at least. Id still be hesitant at playing him +600.

    Stylistically, his chances are minimal. Add the size disparity and this is a mismatch.

    I agree with this. I would have been hesitant to put money down on Marquez, no matter how good the payoff would be. I genuinely think that he has almost no chance.....or at least I did, until I bet on FMJ (I tend to be an anxious person).

    The only ray of hope for Marquez fans is if the layoff really did affect Floyd. If he comes in with anywhere near the same speed and skill set that he had before he "retired," game over. Mayweather probably won't lose more than two rounds if he boxed safety first from the outside.

    You're right -- he's a 50-1 underdog.

    marquez is a great fighter...he has to be a big underdog though because PBF is unbeaten and nearly unbeatable...his style looks like a good matchup for floyd...if they foguth 6 times floyd would win all 6 so the odds are actually good....all the haters should bet marquez....all floyd does is run??? right? hmmm then why is he a 5-1 favorite...are they racing?
