Pacman - JMM will be too skilled for him, Diaz will be too strong (after he won against Morales), Oscar will wipe floor with him... boy was I wrong. Cotto too - thought he'll get cought by Judah, and thought that hes not in Mosley's legue funny thing like someone allready mentioned that I was sure he'll win against Margo. now that I believe that Pacman can beat Hatton, he might as well lose that fight...
Cotto- I thought he was chinny based on the Corley and Torres fights... So I picked Judah to win by KO... Then I thought he could be outboxed so I picked Mosley to win by SD. I knew he couldn't beat Margarito... and for a while there I was starting to think he was going to prove me wrong again! Finally made the right pick on that one.
Joe Calzaghe should be a default answer for many people. Most of the forum picked Jeff Lacy. He was only 60/40 over Kessler. 65/35 over Hopkins. Inexplicably, ignoring all this, a number of people STILL picked Roy Jones. Somebody who is starting to prove me wrong is Paul Williams. I thought he was a no hoper with a peanut for a brain against Quintana. Devoid of a boxing brain or much technical ability. But he's improved.
:roflHell yeah, me too. I always wanted Zab to do some good shitz and he would always do real good at first, but let down city by the end. Still and always will be a fan though, just afraid after the Clottey fight Zab won't be gettin' any more big fights or especially title cracks unless he takes the dirt road back to the top and fight on ESPN every other week and build his self up to where he should be.
I picked Joe against all those guys. Lacy was clearly overrated and the rest the public clearly favoured Joe over a 43yr old Hopkins, a known shot jones and Kessler was tough pick but Joe was more proven. I call pretty much most fights, upsets included and if im wrong, not too far off. Recently the most shocking was Joe-Hopkins, called Joe but didn't expect Hopkins to be so competitive. I wasnt too shocked about him beating Pavlik but was shocked in the way he did it, he outworked him. Thought he would just outbox the guy from outside. Tyson would probably be my pick, I kept hoping he would win big, against Lennox, McBride & Williams. Didnt help he was my favourite fighter ever.
I've picked Pacquiao to lose against JMM, De la Hoya, and Barrera and he proved me wrong. The one time I picked him to win against Erik Morales (1) and the man loses. I don't think I should bet on his fights one way or another anymore. Hopkins as also defied my predictions numerous times.
Hopkins- I dont hate the guy but i always think age is going to catch up to him in each fight Calzaghe- I dont know that much about him so i always think he is going to lose. Im still a bit skeptical about him.
yeah i think cotto has proved everyone wrong a few times. I remember when he fought mosley i picked him to win mainly because i'd counted him out too many times.
is it hard to suck your own dick? and by the way hopkins didn't outwork pavlik you ****-brain, he outboxed him. pavlik couldn't get his shots set because of hopkins defense. get over yourself.
hopkins. thought he would lose to trinidad. thought he would lose to tarver. thought he would beat taylor. thought he would lose to pavlik. thought he would beat calzaghe ( he may have done it .. ) yea one of those fighters that surprises me.
Barrera too. After the two Jones losses, he came back to be competitive in the first Morales fight, and proceeded to go on to beat Morales twice, and Hamed.
Consistently proved me wrong? Can't really say any fighter has consistently proved me wrong. Mainly because I haven't expected any one fighter to lose consistently.
atschWell, I also have to add Lance_Uppercut to the mix. I've exlaxed on this guy in tha past, and he keeps coming back for more lol...:thumbsup
