    I too bet on Baldomir, but it was just because the odds were killer!

    definitely hatton over pac.... thought i'd go with the under dog... then i actually tried to rationalize it...

    besides that I am usually pretty accurate

    Yeah, but admit it, looking back, don't you just give yourself a facepalm?? I know I do.

    I picked Jeff Lacy to beat Joe Calzaghe, missed the mark a bit on that one.

    All time biggest sports prediction blunder. I actually told a buddy that Ryan Leaf would be a much better Pro QB than Peyton Manning. Whoops!

    You know i can see the logic behind every pick you made except DLH over Hopkins.... how did you come to that conclusion ?
    Considering how badly Tito got dominated by Hopkins and how poorly DLH looked vs Sturm.

    Pavlik over Hopkins, Trinidad over Hopkins, Margarito over Mosely, Cotto over Margarito, Judah over Mayweather, and Tarver over Hopkins. I will proudly say that I picked Tarver to defeat Jones in the rematch.

    Here are the doozies I remember from the top of my head

    Jones over Tarver II
    Kirk Johnson ko John Ruiz
    Trinidad stopping Hopkins by round 6
    Alcine UD Daniel Santos



    And although this is not mine, I personally like this in retrospect. A poster here made a bold prediction that Emmanuel Lucero would KO Manny Pacquiao with a body shot. He was so sure of this and gave us all the articles that said Lucero was called the "carnicerio" due to his vicious digging body shots and that he killed a bull with one punch to the head.

    The ******* almost had me thinking Lucero had a chance there! I promptly laughed as Lucero was ko'd in the third round. :lol:
