    I think Adamek will give Hopkins a hell of a fight. Tomasz will be the biggest fighter he's ever faced and his workrate is sensational. Great fight...get it made.

    I just finished watching that fight and I must agree somewhat. His chins dodgy but made worse by his total lack of defensive care. If he doesn't throw his ego away he'll eventually meet a great counter puncher with power and it's all over.
    Hopefully he works it out and we see his full potential but Im sticking with Juanma for now.

    Nice call mate, did you see the fight at all? I haven't yet, I actually thought it may be close if it went the distance but predicted a Berto KO. I may have overlooked Collazo or overated Berto a little but really need to see the fight.

    Jambo had a go & well Berto has a long way to go to beat any of the top 4...Margo, Cotto, Mosley & Clottey IMO.

    Jambo is usually on the money with his assessments, from what I've read, however I just don't see it with Berto at this point in time.

    Jambo is on the money with his assessment of their respective fighting styles (whoever they might be) but going that one step further and saying this person should def beat that person or vice verser is always dangerous and can kick ya in the ass. Props to ya Jambo, I will never forget the day you took on the whole country of Denmark with the Mundine v Kessler thread :happy:happy:happy

    Read an article on here regarding Bernard Hopkins. he wants 2 fights only. calzaghe , but calzaghe doesn't like him and won't fight him again, even in Wales IMO and jermaine taylor. Wouldn't mind seeing him redeem his losses and getting a SMW belt as well.

    I never did a p4p thread on kickett you dumbarse. I did a thread hyping him up deliberately, but i never said he was going to be a top p4p fighter. If you go back and read the thread properly, all i did was state he had potential.

    And Cotto is a top p4p fighter :patsch

    Nice try champ.

    I'm not worried about being wrong... I wasn't sayign Berto would beat Cotto or Margarito... All i said was ithought he would beat Collazo and cement his place among those top guys in the division. Being an elite fighter doesn't mean a top p4p, more so that i thought he would show himself as being a true top level guy.

    He fell short, but not by heaps. Collazo is a strong fighter, came extremely close to beating Hatton, gave Mosley trouble early on. He is no bum. Berto fought a bad fight in the begining, and really gave away a lot of the early rounds. He is still young and can learn.

    Boxing is unpredictable as fuk, look at how many upsets there were last year.

    Forrest v Mora

    Williams v Quintana

    Campbell v Diaz

    Pac v Oscar

    Vic v Mijares

    Predicting every fight is literally impossible, you win some you lose some. NO biggie.

    Its a fuking prediction FFS, of course i'm going to back myself.

    Its one way or the other, you can't sit on the fuking fence.
