    Pretty simple really. Which fighter/s did you tip to go all the way only for them to fail.

    Recently, I was on the Alexeev bandwaggon and that's gone tits up. Was/am still on the Ortiz bandwaggon. He can still come back but Maidana did temporarily, and for some permanently, derail him.

    Lamont Peterson, although he still has a chance to do big things.

    I've always liked Antwone Smith and Edner Cherry, but can't say i really expected them to go all the way.

    Victor Ortiz(there's still time yet tho)
    Jeff Lacy
    Kiko Martinez(I predicted him to smash Bernard Dunne to pieces within 2 rounds which he duly did but it all went wrong afterwards, he's still young enough to do something tho but he's too one dimensional)

    I don't know if it counts but I was convinced that Vic Darchinyan would smash Agebko and go on and unify the Bantamweight division and then the Super Bantamweight division :patsch

    And embarrassingly I have to be honest and admit that I was on the Tyson Fury train after his first couple of fights :oops:

    The bantam bit was possible, you weren't the only one. That reminds me, a lot of people were loving Cristian Mijares and he was going to outclass Vic on his way to becoming a top 5 p4p fighter. That includes me :lol:

    Lara's still going strong IMO, he's just not the most entertaining.

    Admit it, how many people believed in Audley when he turned pro?

    Rob Palmer had Paulie to stop Hatton with, and I quote, "a 16 punch combination"....:D

    In Bettys defence he just thought the odds on Paulie stopping Hatton were good value.
