    I think it's because he's too mechanical in his analysis and just doesn't take a seat back and look at the whole picture of a fight. He obviously knows boxing though.

    Fact is nobody knows **** about the outcome. Any true boxing fan or expert knows that one punch in the right place at the right time can change everything.

    :lol: Why do people always need to say this?

    I might get eaten by a rabid dog tomorrow when walking on the street and die, but I will MOST LIKELY live and not get bitten by any dogs.

    Hatton might beat Floyd, but he will most likely not win.

    It's all about chance. And the realistic chance that Hatton is going to beat Floyd is 1-5% at best.

    But its all theoretical, their input is invaluable to us, and anyone interested in wagering on fights. As stated above, Atlas has one of the most rediculously horrible picking records, but he really knows how fighters should theoretically match up in the ring.

    You watch Teddy on some of his pre fight explanations, he goes what both fighters should be looking for and is usually spot on, as far as tactics that boxers can exploit in the ring. I don't think he has ever been wrong in that department. Problem always has to do with fighters not executing the right strategy, or having horrible timing.

    I'm always interested in watching what Atlas has to say.. He's almost always wrong, but almost always wrong because the fighter he picked didn't follow his advice.. The man is cursed. :!:

    It needs to be said because when many people make their predictions on here they do so with so much arrogance and laugh at anyone who disagree's but when they turn out to be wrong they don't front up and admit they were talking ****, they just make excuses.

    SO the FACT is people should predict what they THINK will happen , rather than claim with arrogant certainty what WILL happen talking as if they are the gods of boxing knowledge, cause peeps like that end up looking like c*nts

    If Hatton had performed better agaist Collazo, I would have given him alot more chance of beating Floyd, but that wasn't the case. I perdict Floyd will win, but it will be his hardest fight to date.

    Hmmm....maybe, but 35 out of 36 of your American boxing experts also picked Jeff Lacy to beat Joe Calzaghe.

    Spadafora's style has absolutely nothing in common with Hatton's style.Using that as a measuring stick is a joke.
