    I asked you this once, too, but you missed my post. Did you post on Boxing Wise in the late 90s?

    You were a big Lewis fan? And you predicted Lewis KO2 Tua? And you also actually, if memory serves, picked Rahman in the first Lewis fight and were aggravated by what you were hearing about Lennox not taking him seriously?

    I assume you are that very same Dubblechin, as it's a memorable name, and I remember you being one of the very sharpest and brightest back in my Boxing Wise days - a site that has been gone now for probably close to 15 years.

    Yes. That was me. I predicted Lewis KO2 Tua ... based on the Savon fight with Tua. Everyone was picking Tua to knock out Lewis, which was p*ssing me off for some reason. I think I just did it to rile people up. Then my wife and I went to the fight, and I bet on Lewis to stop Tua in two and I also bet on Tua to stop Lewis in the 11th (because he always seemed to win late).

    That was a fun weekend.

    And I did pick Rahman to stop Lewis. I jumped off the floor when Rahman landed that shot. Our oldest son still remembers that. It scared the hell out of him.

    I loved that Boxing Wise site. Then someone hacked it.

    It's great to hear from someone back then. What was your name on Boxing Wise?

    Moonves the Don got it done

    He made sure if Haymon and Arum wanted to keep eating they had to make it happen.

    I thought about this some more and I think the guy responsible is Marquez. With KO6, Floyd finally saw what he needed to see, that Pac has faded and is ripe for another loss. Pac needed to lose a fight to convince Floyd imo. The problem was who out there could do that but Marquez? Oh the irony...

    Everyone involved was responsible, but Floyd and Pac meeting at the Miami game got the ball rolling. Everyone else involved are business men who helped divide the money. Pacs fans thinking one guy started it all just shows how clueless and peenis riding they can be when it comes to loving Pac.

    it took Floyd to face Pac in an NBA game just to realize he's a much bigger guy than Manny :deal

    plus it took 5 years for Floyd to read the contract :rofl

    Yeah but Floyd hasn't been kod 3 times, almost killed once lol, and had to resort to PED use to win fight. That's why God almost killed him in 2012.:lol:

    "of the century" = of the last 15 years.

    Not a great achievement.

    My name on Boxing Wise was almost certainly Radagast. I was a big Golota fan, and I was probably one of those guys picking Tua to KO Lewis! :lol: :good

    You were one of the most knowledgeable posters regularly posting on BoxingWise back then, and I have to admit - I'm impressed I remembered those 2 picks you made. I remember being baffled that you were picking Rahman to beat Lewis, a fighter whom you had obviously admired a good deal, and then I was astonished when your prediction proved true.

    And even though Lewis KO2 Tua never happened, you at least were correct in that Lewis dominated Tua, when nobody at Boxing Wise was expecting such.

    That was a good site. I remember going there one day and seeing the message that the site was hacked, there was no back up, and we got a polite good bye. Sucked! Was a great boxing site back in its time.

    Good to see you still posting all these years later! You're a great asset to these forums!

    :cheers

    That secret motel meeting looked very shady on both sides



    Psssh.. Floyd has also been seen walking solo with Bob Arums son on a different day very odd
