    Easy to say the winning fighters we predicted. Any boxers you KNEW would be the next champ, but didn't?

    While he hasn't lost yet, I picked Jose Benavidez to be p4p.
    That was 2015. From 2010 to current I can't find any real names.
    Apparently he does have some legit issues, like with his hands, but he hasn't fought some names by now.


    I'm ticked and hurt at Andre Dirrell. Speed, great reflexes. 2005 -2018 only 29 fights?
    He's made so many bad decisions, damn.


    On the undercard of Dirrell vs Abraham I witness a puncher that I knew NO one would fight. Freddie Roach was scouting him that night and the KO was off the charts. Lateef Kayode.
    His power is undeniable. So, too was Roach's inability to teach him how to box.


    Francisco Bojado is my top pick. He's the only one of the bunch, I can't figure out what happened. The kid could crack, but for some reason Jesse James L & Steve Forbes rewound the time clock and put on masterful performances.

    Nothing Bojado did wrong in those fights, those guys for whatever reason came with their A+ game. And Bojado never bounced back.

    I figured Michael Katsidis would lose to a technical counter puncher but I didn't expect him to fizzle out.

    Jason Litzau, the American. I bought into the hype, thought he might be a bit like Gatti-during his boxing years, not brawling.


    And Sam Peter...damn what a nightmare of a ending for the Nigerian.

    I thought Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam was going to co-rule the MW division with Golovkin (and before that, as part of a three-headed beast w/ Pirog) for many years. :oops: I later similarly had a crystal-ball mirage of Mohamed Ali Ndiaye turning out to be world class, a division north at SMW.

    Basically I keep jumping the gun on slick and flashy Africans based in Europe, for some reason. :lol:

    Anybody expected for Fury to do absolutely nothing after beating WK?

    What's up with that?

    Me. I was certain they'd rematch and that Wlad, ashamed of his last performance, would turn into his pre-Kronk self and force a slugfest (kind of like the one he later did have, with Joshua) and knock Fury out.

    Crazy part is..I think Fury's {craziness} may be a legitimate reason he hasn't fought. I don't think he's afraid.

    J-Rock can still prove elite.

    Now, the Who Can Mexican is a weird case. I wasn't in the least surprised he lost to underrated Díaz, but never figured he'd be kayoed by shot Luis Collazo.

    Khytrov is a poor man's Lemieux.

    I had faith in J-Rock, but his match with Ishe Smith really worried me, I think he might genuinely be packing glass, he got rocked several times in that match, and the only other elite fighter I can recall seeing Ishe rock is Daniel Jacobs, like a decade ago. That's worrying, also Gallimore can crack, it wouldn't shock me if there was an upset in their match.

    With Sammy, like you said, the loss to Diaz wasn't surprising in the least, as far as the Collazo loss, there's an extenuating circumstance there, I quasi freaked out the day the fight was happening when I found out that Sammy had to have a small tumor removed from his pituitary gland a mere 6 months before the Collazo fight, the fact that Haymon let a guy box so quickly after having low level brain surgery is abhorrent.

    I never deluded myself about Khytrov's skill level, but I did about his power and chin.:(
