    Why not just make a separate thread? I'm obviously not going to be making the number of predictions you do on Kirk's thread, which I dabbled in literally a couple times around 2011-ish, throughout the entire year... Make a thread, choose the fights, we predict all of them, let everyone else pick too, then lets see what happens. I'm one of only a handful of folks on here that makes picks, types them and hits enter and doesn't pretend I was joking when I'm wrong, as much as possible.

    Every time you lose, you will say that it was a trolling joke and that you really really really seriously honestly absolutely definitely predicted the actual winner. So you'll be 100% correct predicting every fight. Not sure I can win against that.

    I won't gripe if Chocolatito doesn't do the rematch with Caudras, and I won't gripe if Ward doesn't do the rematch with Kovalev.
    Both Chocolatito and Ward won, and As long as both fight top level alternative opponents, I'll be satisfied.

    Mayweather fans, If you want to see Mayweather Vs Karim Mayfield then you should get behind Roman, if Roman gets to 49-0 or even 50-0 then Karim Mayfield is getting the call.

    I appreciate he took a big risk but it's a big risk after the fact the bookies had a Caudras a 4/1 underdog in the uk. I say that to say this even though Chocolatito looks dominant in his performances at 112 we don't know how he would deal with the other champions at 112 until he beats them. I'm a big fan of fighters becomes real champions not belt holders.

    Gonzalez is a league above Ward. I don't see what the comparison is. The man has been fearless whilst fighting for a fraction of Wards purses. He's fighting in a division 2 divisions removed from his optimum weight and daring to be great against much bigger men. What's more these guys are really good fighters. His career is nearing the end and he has one eye on his future. So what. Anyone that has a problem with Gonzalez is crazy. Humble, clean living, looks to challenge himself. He's good for the sport and will be missed when he's gone. No comparison to Ward at all but if it makes you Ward/Floyd fans feel better then go ahead. I think some of you guys need you try and remember why you fell in love with this sport. So much hate and anger.

    Loool your clearly a troll, I don't care about Floyd, his a great boxer but I don't like him. However how can you say Ward and Gonzalez aren't similar both just moved up to fight the toughest guy in the division, the difference is Ward just came off a huge lay off having only one real meaningful fight in two years before a fight with one of the few 'real champions' in boxing. Ward beating Kovalev is a way bigger win than Caudras. All these haters were saying he wouldn't even take the fight.

    Yawn. Long layoff, big Scary Kovalev, ring general, inside fighting blah blah etc. Change the record man. P4P Gonzalez is way above Ward. Take it easy.

    Gonzales got the decision against cuadras, no out cry.
    It's mean a PASS.
    Ward got the decision from Kovalev, massive outcry that last for months. NO PASS.
    From that alone you should know they are different.
    It is as clear as night and day.

    The equivalent of Chocolatito fighting Cuadras would be Ward fighting Usyk, not Kovalev.

    "I predict Fighter A to win. [repeats several times]

    [Fighter A loses via TKO...]

    I WAS JUST JOKING GUYS I KNEW IT ALL ALONG THAT FIGHTER B WOULD CRUSH HIM!! ACTUALLY, IN MY REAL PREDICTION, I CALLED THE EXACT ROUND! ACTUALLY, THE EXACT 10 SECOND STRETCH OF THE ROUND!"

    -CST80, always and forever. Love you buddy. Stay you.

    A little bit both. They're both p4p top20 talents(Usyk is probably better but not proven in the pro ranks yet) and he's naturally 2 weight classes bigger than Ward, similar to Gonzalez and Cuadras.
