He spent a decade fighting too little and too often not the optimal guys.

The saddest words remain what might have been.
Now this is freaky because I looked at this fight last night in bits and pieces. I remember the fight well enough though and thought to myself the same thing you probably did...."Where is this Floyd at now?" And what bothers me more is the fact that if this fight would have taken place when it was originally suppose to Floyd would not have been as much of an underdog vs Pac as he was vs Corrales. People forget that Corrales was quite the favorite in that fight due to the size advantages. And the longer Floyd waits and sits around being inactive the worst it is for him.


Floyd was a 1/4 fav v Corrales never for one minute was he an underdog. He was a strong favourite to win.

He is also currently the slight favourite v Pac.
Yeah u are right with the Corrales fight.... I stand corrected. I do remember alot of the experts being worried about the size disparity but you are right he wasn't the betting underdog. As for Pacquiao vs Mayweather I assumed that Pac would be the favorite because it seems that every article I read or radio interview I listen to seems to have some "expert" saying Pac is the favorite. Granted I don't follow boxing like I used to the fact that Mayweather is the favorite legitimately susprises me. BTW thanx for not being a douche about correcting me
Man I guess I wasn't paying attention to the oddmakers for that fight. I thought Chico's size would be a huge problem for Floyd and while I wasn't shocked Floyd won, the sheer dominance and majesty of that win shocked me at the time.

I also think Floyd is a pretty heavy favorite against Manny at this point. Of course since I had Manny losing to Diaz, Hatton, Oscar and Cotto, my oddsmaking can probably be ignored.
