    I Think that was one of the upsets that surprised me the most the whole time I've been watching boxing. I don't remember anyone picking forrest there.

    Hopkins(Hopkins is bigger than Tito, and is a good defensive fighter)

    I had no prediction for Morales vs. Raheem

    Lacy(I had never even seen a Calzaghe fight before that one)

    Lewis(I was rooting for Tyson, but I didn't think he stood a chance)

    Tzyu(I had never seen Hatton fight before that fight)

    I didn't. I was a huge Mosely fan then, and thought he was unbeatable.

    All my friends thought I was crazy when I picked Forrest to beat Sugar Shane. They also thought he was unbeatable. Yeah, I know that amateur boxing is different than pro but Forrest beat Sugar Shane pretty easily in the amateurs, and I just had a feeling that Forrest height and jab would give him major problem again, and that Forrest had the style to beat him....I was right about the outcome.:yep Forrest almost knocked Sugar man out in the second round in their first fight....that was impressive:hey

    I picked the following fights wrong:

    MAB vs Pac I - I picked MAB to school Pac.

    Darchinyan vs. Flash Donaire - picked Darchinyan by KO

    Morales vs. Pac 2 - predicted result same like the first fight.

    Hopkins vs. Taylor 1 & 2 - picked B-hop by UD

    I didn't have a prediction for Hopkins v Tito , just didn't have a clue what would happen really .

    I picked Morales
    I picked Calzaghe(just barely though , I think I had Joe a 55/45 favourite with me)
    I picked Lewis
    I picked Hatton

    Hopkins vs Trinidad - Tito. I totally underestimated Bernard

    Morales vs Raheem - Morales. I didn't know much about Raheem, so I went for the safe and obvious pick.

    Calzage vs Lacy - Lacy. I bought all the hype.

    Tyson vs Lewis - Lewis. I wouldn't say it was a no-brainer pick because of Tyson's power, but I didn't expect it to be all that close.

    Hatton vs Tzyu - Tzyu. I figured the powerful veteran would expose Hatton.

    I'll be honest, people here know my process in analysing a fight for selecting a pick anyway.

    Hopkins, I won a bundle on it too.

    I picked Morales on this one.

    Made a thread before the fight that stated Lacy wouldn't win a single round, everyone laughed at me.:|

    I picked Lewis.

    I picked Tszyu also, he's an all time favourite, I thought he'd have KOed Hatton, but Hatton stepped up that night.

    tito - i was not convinced about hopkins until after that fight
    morales - didn't even know who raheem was
    calzaghe - always pick the boxer over the puncher
    lewis - ditto
    tzyu - i didn't take into account that hatton would be allowed to break the rules

    I thought Trinidad would be too much for him.
    I of course thought Morales would beat Raheem with his skills. I had no idea how old Morales had gotten.
    I thought JC would outbox him, but not that badly.
    I thought Lewis would do to Tyson what he did to Tua.
    I thought Tszyu would be too strong and hit too hard for Hatton to make it 12 rounds.
