    I don't think I've made any glaring **** ups on British boxers.

    Alexeev is my worst guy I championed without doubt. He could still win a title somewhere along the road and eliminate a few blushes but he won't ever achieve what I originally thought him capable of.

    Until you pointed it out I'd have sworn Hearns fought Roldan and Kinchen before Andries. I'm still not entirely convinced Boxrec hasn't got it wrong.....;)

    The only reason I remember is Andries/Hearns was live prime time on a Saturday night on ITV (remember them days) and was broken with a news flash, because of the Zeebrugge ferry disaster and then Tyson/Smith was next morning, which all happened on March 6th/7th 1987. And Roldan was later because of The Ring headline for the Barkley fight.... Middleweight Terrorism: Iran bombs the Hitman; I know, I should get a life!

    My worst ever ESB perdiction on paper was predicting Manfredo to pull off a shock win against Calzaghe.

    HOWEVER

    Everyone has to admit though that the stoppage was such a joke we never truly found out what would have happened had the fight went on.

    Still pisses me off that one, cos Im sure if that fight went a few more rounds, Manfredo had the style to give Joe problems.

    Then you are still too young!;)

    I remember talking up Naz/Barrera in 93/94; I fought it was pick-em then, and going into the proper fight, to get them splinters out of my arse, I went for Naseem, because MAB was moving up.

    :lol:

    Man quit while you are behind -- these are the hands you gotta fold. Manfredo was hopelessly out of his depth.
