    My best: Calzaghe beating Hopkins by a controversial split decision by outworking him and staying active to the end, tied with Margarito grinding Cotto down in 11 rounds after losing the first half of the fight.

    My worst: Margarito destroying Mosley, Oscar being too big for Pacquiao and handling him without many problems. God they were embarrassing.

    Best predictions: Calzaghe would destroy Lacy

    Worse prediction: Donaire would smash through Rigondeaux


    Upcoming prediction to hang your hat on: Thurman will be stopped early in a fight where he's heavily favored to win. :deal

    I remember fearing for the old man's health when this fight was announced :lol:

    Amazing that he pretty much knocked the heart out of Pavlik and outlasted him overall.

    Can't remember the good ones where I bet against the odds. But I remember being crushed when Wladimir Klitschko got knocked out by Lamon Brewster and when Manny Pacquiao got knocked out by Marquez. I also picked Donaire over Rigondeaux.

    Best: Cotto SD Clottey

    People thought Cotto was going to beat Clottey easily, but I knew Clottey's style. People started calling Cotto overrated after the fight, but it was quite obvious they underestimated the Grandmaster.

    Worst: Matthysee KO Garcia

    I'd still take Matthysee to knock Garcia out in a rematch.

    Best

    Calzaghe/Lacy - Knew Calzaghe was going to win easily, I actually predicted a TKO in the 7th I was that confident of Calzaghe winning.

    Rigo/Donaire - It was clear to me Rigo was far superior was struggling to see why so many thought Donaire had a chance

    Worst

    Price/Thompson - Fell for the hype glossed over the obvious flaws in Price.
