    I was convinced Haye would beat Wlad and Bellew (twice)

    I was also convinced that Chisora would beat Whyte (twice)

    I was also convinced that Wlad would beat AJ

    In summary, don't follow my betting tips.

    Thought DeGale was the best SM in the world for a while

    Was certain Martin Murray was criminally underrated and would pick up a world title

    I haven't had that many tbh, my worst has probably been thinking Pedraza would beat Davis lol

    In fairness, I've seen a fair few people say that Wlad would beat AJ and it's arguable that Chisora beat Whyte

    There's so many:

    I thought Chad Dawson would be a first ballot HOF'er at the end of his career.
    I was completely wrong and have changed course regarding: Tyson Fury, Demetrius Andrade, and Errol Spence
    I thought Keith Thurman would be the undisputed WW champion by now.
    I've only picked against Floyd once: I picked Zab to brutally stop him
    Chris Byrd would've been an ATG SMW and should've avoided the HW division altogether
    I thought Kingsley Ikeke was going to be a dominant MW champion

    I could go on...........but :duh

    Fair enough, but Curry was an exceptional boxer & yes I was very surprised how honeyghan steamrolled him. But at the timne there were whispers of Curry moving up to take out Hagler !!! Honeyghan was fierce but couldn't lace Haglers gloves ...so I'd say Honeyghan gave Curry a lucky break ...

    I hate Eubank junior.
    The only boxer I hate and I’m mad at myself for it cuz I don’t know the guy, he just appears to be a dick and I can’t help myself.

    I was/still am indifferent to Floyd, Ward and the lot, I’m able to appreciate their skills despite shitty personalities but Eubank could clear out his division as well as two above him and I’d still hate the bloke and say he’s ****.

    I thought Haye would knock Bellew out, even the second time around...

    Lol.

    Haye was a very good cruiserweight though, people seem to forget that.

    He just wasn‘t a real heavyweight and sadly he was plagued by injuries.
