    Read that he made such great predictions like

    Mccall over Lewis
    Randall over Chavez
    Holyfield over Tyson
    Douglas over Tyson :yikes

    Was he just pulling a Teddy Atlas by picking the underdog all the time or was he fairly accurate?

    Any other good ones that he called?

    Eddie knew his stuf, but he also predicted shane Mosley would be as good as Sugar Ray Robinson.
