    Leonard was favourite to beat Duran first time round I think.
    Hagler was favourite to beat Leonard.
    Gomez was favourite to beat Sanchez.
    Morales was favourite to beat Barrera in their first fight.


    Pacquiao v Marquez II was about as close to a 50-50 as it gets. Same with Pacquiao v Morales II, Morales v Barrera II and III.

    Toney was a 3-1 favorite over Jones. Believe Leonard was a slight favorite over Hearns, can't be 100% sure though.

    EDIT: Sorry, misread that as Jones vs. Toney for some reason.

    Cant agree with the Jones Vs Hopkins one.

    It wasn't a significant fight, seeing as it wasn't even the main event of that card and from my understanding the odds were not even. Not blown out odds but not even.

    Leonard was a slight favorite odds wise until about a day or so before the fight, when a lot of Hearns' Detroit fans bet on him and that made Hearns a slight favorite going into the fight.

    Same here in the US, Hagler was at least 3-1.

    Hagler was a big favourite over Leonard but the others are good choices.

    Good choices but....
    Morales was a strong favourite in the 3rd Barrera fight, why do you think Im still stunned to this very day when Marco got the decision.

    :lol:

    See, I do not get the American odds system.

    In Britain that would mean I would of gotten three pounds for every one pound I put down..... In Britain 1/3 would mean I needed to put down three to win one.

    Winnings on/stake... it seems so simple, trust Americans to mess it up! I would be buggered in Vegas!;)
