    Half right.

    It's also the person with the most supporters who will bet on him thus getting the odds down.

    That's why if Clotter were Mexican or Puertorican he definetely would be the(at least) opening betting favorite over Willianms.

    Floyd for sure. Fight would 120-108 for Floyd or late stoppage.

    You're trying to "prove" Paul's superiority based on being a betting favorite. I'll say your wrong based on the fact that he ate right hands and left hooks from every skilled fighter he ever faced, and his accuracy is on par with the worst in the business. Betting odds are simply not relevant.

    ok but the thread is about who would be the betting favorite and I am assuming that the author of the thread is talking about "Vegas Odds."

    Floyd would be a betting favorite over him..I dont think ne 1 else would be....

    So I'm not allowed to say that Mayweather would be a betting favourite against Williams or I'm classed as a hater? Take that ****ing sand out of your vagina, and learn to accept that Williams isn't perfect. Until you do, you're on my ignore list. *****.

    Nice thread, I was so angry because I had to come back from the gym because it was flooded with Olympis athletes. This picked me right up. I think Mosley, Mayweather and Cotto would all be favorites, and Pavlik should have been. I have no idea who beats who in those situations because PW is untested compared to those guys which is why I'm saying there's too much hype around him, we simply have no idea. If I were to guess I would chose Mosley by UD, Mayweather by UD and Cotto by KO.

    Also let's not forget about Sergio Martinez, I had him 117-110 over Cintron, I'm not considering that crazy point deduction. He's another wildcard at 154, a fight with him and PW would clear up a lot of things in the division.

    Floyd would definitely be a slight favorite over Williams. The Pavlik odds were skewed because a ton of people had a sense that Pav wasn't going to be 100%.

    I'm actually curious what kind of an opening line they'd come up with for a Pacquiao fight.

    Floyd would be a betting favourite against Williams, and for good reason. Floyd tags him all night long with lead rights en route to a decision.

    Yes -- I know what the thread is about, but the only reason Walk started this thread is becasue he was getting his ass whooped in another thread. Dude tried to say the only thing standing between PW and dominance at 147, 154, and 160 is Dzinzurik:patsch

    Floyd would definately be the favorite over Williams at 147.
