If I was a gambling man, I would have gladly foregone all other bets for a year and put it all on Floyd at -250.<br /><br />That said, you forgot a fourth way Floyd could lose -- the boxing gods not smiling on him, a la Bradley v.

This event leaves me recalling Neo from the Matrix, with his ability to operate eventually in, out and through the Matrix.
