    Really bad picks I made in the past where:

    Trinidad vs B-Hop = Tito by KO
    Tarver vs B-Hop = Tarver by KO
    MAB vs Pac 1 = MAB by late TKO
    Cotto vs Margarito = Cotto by wide UD
    Katsidis vs J. Diaz = Katsidis by TKO
    Kirilov vs Darchinyan = Kirilov by wide UD

    You mean the first fight or the rematch? If it was the rematch, yeah that would make it a bad pick.

    Hmm I think I picked Cotto over Marg but not sure, if someone finds my posts, I guess we can find out...

    But I also picked Klitschko and most importantly Hopkins to win so I feed redeemed :)

    Taylor over Pavlik, twice.

    Think that's about the only bad pick I've made.

    I'll take that freebie then, my friend :D. Figured if I'm comin' clean, I may as well include what I like to affectionately call the "What the ****?" fights! :thumbsup

    Speaking of Vera-Lee, I've got the dubious distinction of actually losing real money on Lee that night. I gave up throwing down real cash once that happened because I took it as a sign from God that being successful at that just wasn't going to happen lol.

    I've actually picked most of the fights correctly lately including the Vitali-Peter and B-Hop-Pavlik, my all time worst was picking Danny Williams to beat the Klitschko sister :rofl

    I quickly regretted my pick when he turned up the size of a water buffalo on fight night.

    My worst pick was Pavlik to beat Hopkins. Other than that I have been pretty dead on the past year for big fights.

    i've had a great run over the last few years picking big fights correctly...but the last two i got badly wrong...

    i thought khan would play with presscott...and i thought pavlik would be too much for a faded hopkins...{i was thinking only about b-hops age and didnt even look beyond that...feel dumb....if i had to think of hop as a 34 year old i would have looked at how the styles would play against each other closer}
