    That's really a good call.

    I had Danny Williams to beat Tyson. But I never won anything approaching $1000.

    Oh wow, I don't think I would have been able to call that one.

    And I think I remember a saying that even a broken clock is right twice a day... I think that might be the reason I happened to hit that particular fight. :risas3:

    Might not have happened if Tyson hadn't hurt his knee, but then again, all you really had to do with that Tyson was not get KO'd.

    How long ago do you think Tyson really fell out of love with the sport? All the way back in the early 90's, did he regain any of his previous fire during his post prison career? I wasn't following the sport back in that particular day.

    It sure didn't happen all at once. He was different when he got out of jail I think. My own guess is he lost that sense of being on a mission, if that makes sense.

    Makes you wonder what Scott took home for that.

    Won $500 on Margarito over Cotto in 2008 and another $500 on Hopkins over Pavlik. But then lost $500 betting on Hopkins over Calzaghe and lost another $500 betting Roy Jones over Calzaghe.

    2 out of 101 reasons why I hate Joe Calslappy...

    My brother had Floyd to beat Hatton in the 10th at 33-1 £20.00.

    The best bet a friend won ( he really knows his boxing) was the draw in Canada between Hopkins and Pascal a betting master class because we all knew that Hopkins would win but get robbed.
