why would the p4p#1 and fotd be the underdog against the p4p#2 guy??

The reason why floyd is the betting favourite has nothing at all to do with his size. In fact it has all to do with his boxing skills and the way he fights, he is so elusive yet accurate no one comes close to pushing him out his comfort zone in the ring.

Pac fans will continue to say Pac the better fight even when he loses to mayweather quite easily. Yet they don't realize that pac's performance against mayweather is going to have a big impact on how good both men really are perceived in this era.

If mayweather was a man who was knocking out his opponents for fun then this challenge indeed could be a step to far for pac. But in reality mayweather does nothing of the sort, he beats his opponent on ability alone not size.

When it all said and done the winner of this fight will become the p4p number 1.

 

same here.

 

On per round basis and on the average, PAC throws 68 punches and lands 29 for a connect percentage of 43%. I agree with you that these PAC numbers will go down if he's facing Floyd. Maybe it will become 50/15/30%

 

I think size is one factor. Say if PAC is also 5' 8" in height and has 72" reach, I bet the odds will be EVEN.

Oh:shock:...this may be the reason why you are always looking for ways so that the fight wont happen...

 

count me also

 

So you think people look at a chart of measurements and bet on boxing fights?

 

I've said size is one factor but I'm confident that if PAC has the same reach, height and weight with Floyd, the odds for their fight will be even and that of course considering all the other factors.

 

If that would be the case, what makes you think Pac would fight/move the same way he does?

 

+1

 

Easy, styles make fights, and size matters.

 

If anything floyd used his height and reach advantage to the fullest in the marquez fight. He controlled the range and countered the hell out of JMM. Its more difficult to do those pull shot counters when and opponent has the same reach as you do, because he can catch you as you move back.

Ever notice how floyd uses one arm to push his opponent out of a clinch then turns his shoulder to let either a hook or straight right hand go.

 

If anything its more impressive what hes capable of still at 147. Also we havent had floyd's fight night weight since he came back from his layoff.

 

Alibi to prepare for failure. :verysad

 

Here is the thing about p4p#1 and FOTD, it is about what you have accomplished and proven to deserve your standing and earn those spots.

As for betting odds, that is more about abilities and potentials. Many of us thinks that Floyd can be somewhat an equal or slightly better fighter than Manny, but the guy refuse to challenge many of the top fighters to prove this to all and earn his spot as p4p#1 and become FOTD. Do we think Floyd can beat Cotto, Margo, and maybe even Pac? The majority would probably think so, but until proven he will not get props for winning fantasy match-ups as we all know anything can happen in the ring until it is over and done.

There will always be the style vs. style logic and we can only make guesses which has been proven wrong many times. Too often the underdog wins the fight and if we can just consider a fighter superior to another simply by analyzing then Mosley should never have fought Vernon Forrest, De La Hoya vs. Pac, Roy Jones vs. Tarver, Jeff Lacy vs. Calzaghe, Pac vs. Barrera, Trinidad vs. Hopkins and so on.
