    Makes you wonder Mayweather doesn't it? 2 years out the ring nearly.
    I think I fancy I fancy Cotto myself but you don't know with Manny.

    Holyfield over Tyson. My thinking going in was that Tyson had yet to go pass 3 rounds, or hit by a solid puncher, in over 5 years going into that fight. I thought that Tyson would have to get Holyfield out in under 5 rounds to win, and didn't believe he would do that.

    Hopkins over Trinidad. Hopkins' one arm act against Echols led me to believe he was a larger fighter capable of implementing the game plan De la Hoya used in his fight with Trinidad. Had I not watched that fight, I may have picked Trinidad.

    Morales over Pacquiao. After watching Marquez and Pacquiao, I thought Morales had the style to take Manny. Marquez always roars back after being tagged, and fires down the middle. I was actually surprised by how much Pacquiao improved technically for this fight.

    Hopkins over Calzaghe. Still think I got this one.

    Not really. She's mentioned that her Dad was a very gentle person outside of working hours ! I never like to probe too much though,owing to the circumstances of Turpin's death. Did your Dad accurately predict the rematch ? My Dad reckons that a lot of people thought that Randy would do it again.
