I had been on a roll for the past two years, I had literally nailed almost every big fight in that timespan, not just the winner but the way it would play out Then I went and picked Hatton against Pac Now, it was partially a case of picking with my heart and not my head, but it was still an awful prediction given the annihilation that occurred What is the worst prediction everyone here has made for a big fight?
Golota over Lewis I know I'm far from being alone in picking Margarito over Mosley, De La Hoya over Pacquiao, and thinking Pacquiao-Hatton would be a competitive fight. In retrospect though, those predictions are pretty funny given how badly the losers of those bouts were dominated.
(If they dont say pts or KO, it means I couldnt decide how it would end but I still picked a fighter to win) DLH by KO over Pacquiao Hatton by decision over Pacquiao Margarito by Decision over Mosely Cotto by decision over Margarito Mosely over Cotto DLH over Mayweather Hamed by KO over Barrera DLH by decision over Hopkins I know that looks real bad but I predicted most of the other big fights correct (I think) :good
My worst ever was Tyson v Lewis. I put that down to knowing very little about the sport at that time. However, many in the fight business also backed Tyson - do not forget that!
Off the top.. Tyson Vs. Holyfield I & II Chavez Vs. Randall I R. Ruelas Vs. De La Hoya Ruddock Vs. Lewis More recent.. Mijares Vs. Darchinyan Forrest Vs. Mora I Barrera Vs. Khan Off the top..
Pavlik over Hopkins Hatton over both Mayweather and Pacquia De La Hoya over Pacquia John Ruiz over Roy Jones, Jr Butterbean over Larry Holmes lmao
Pavlik over Hopkins was my last fail i can recall. Nope...Taylor over Froch... But The Pavlik fight was the worst.
Like most Pavlik-Hopkins. To be fair to us though Hopkins had looked pretty old in his last couple of fights (Calzaghe, Wright, even to a degree Tarver). The worst was taking Baldomir over Mayweather, but that was more a value bet as Baldo had pretty good odds.
donaire V darchinyan (though my heart goes to donaire) mijares V darchinyan (i thought darchinyan was in for a beating.lol)
Pavlik over Hopkins. Hatton vs Pacquiao. I basically envisioned that this would be another version of the Margarito - Cotto fight, which I predicted right (late TKO), and primarily because of the size and aggression of the bigger guy. I thought Hatton's strength and rough housing style will make Pac uncomfortable. God, I was right.:twisted:
