    i picked holyfield to beat tyson, mcall and rahman to ko lewis...but usually, im spectacularly, woefully...wrong..!!!.....my biggest pick was probably benn over mclelland...but that was more thru blind faith in our nige than any inate ability in picking fights....

    Tyson was my favorite. When Tyson was focused and dedicated i picked him over anyone. But one could clearly see that Tyson (mentally) was aloof for the Douglass fight. Most know that the mental part (at the top level) is the biggest part. You could even see the defeatism in Tysons eyes during the stare-down while Douglass looked fearless.

    Mayorga over Forrest
    Wright over Trinidad

    I remember in 1996 this kid from my homeroom(I was in the 8th grade at the time) said that Holyfield and Lewis would crush Tyson(Tyson had regained two belts by this time and people thought he was unbeatable again). Everyone thought he was crazy(It's amazing that an 8th grader had that much foresight).

    Hatton over Tszyu
    Holyfield over Tyson (first match)
    Golota vs Bowe woulda been another one if Golota wasn't a fruitcake.

    I picked Moorer over Holyfield.
    Wright over Trinidad.
    and as I mentioned earlier Tyzu over Judah.
    I also picked Pavlik over Miranda. (Pavlik was the underdog right?)
