    Well, i know almost all of you have seen a fighter who looked inferior to their opponent physically, sometimes even on paper. Yet these guys have their hands raised at the end of the fight. Sometimes, you even make a wrong fight prediction because of them.



    My pick goes to "iron boy" ivan calderon.


    He looks so small and beatable, even in some fights he looked ordinary. He even gets dropped. Yet a lot of guys are baffled at their inability to hit him. Who knows how far he can go or he gets knocked out and ruined in his next fight. But one thing's for sure, with calderon, looks can be decieving.

    Yeah, but he had to CHEAT to "win.":yep

    Without King, Ruiz wouldn't just be beatable, he would have been beatEN, as soon as he faced rated fighters.

    I spent 10 years picking against Hopkins, figuring he would show his age; finally changed my mind for the first Taylor fight and looked what happens.;)

    Great pick...so true.

    John Ruiz has to be the biggest winner here. Spinks, Pavlik, Margarito

    Amazingly he made that "cheating" style work fight after fight. A true feat of sleight of hand.
