Your boxing confessions

I thought he had a real shot of winning. Until the fight started. No way is Haye 6ft 3ins, he looked like a dwarf in there next to Wlad....

 

Haye is 6ft2 at most, imo he is more like 6ft1.5, i agree there is no way he is 6ft3 and he‘s also a naturally slim guy which you can see now that he is retired, he probably walks around at 190 pounds.

 

Don was indeed wanting to move up & challenge Marvin but at that time that stab in the back Ray Leonard was retired & supposedly working for Muhammad acting as Don's advisor. They talked Don out of it but were also secretly negociating for Ray to fight Hagler. First Dave Gorman & Don heard about was when it was announced on TV. Leonard hi tailed it out of Texas like the traitor he was. Would Don have beaten Marvin ?? Doubtful but who knows but all I know that wasnt a 100% Curry that faced Lloyd. But Lloyd won all credit to him. Don repeatedly challenged Leonard but he'd never fight him
Thats boxing I guess

 

I had Haye stopping Wlad.

 

Which part of that is a confession?

 

I thought Wlad would destory Fury.

 

What Tyson Fury did to Wladimir Klitschko I did NOT see coming. I have made other predictions which were wrong, and I like to think I will happily eat my hat if I misjudged something wildly - but most of those incorrect calls ended up being very close fights and sometimes one where the dice rolled against the odds, and may not happen again.

Case in point, I will only eat my hat about Ruiz vs Joshua if Ruiz wins a second time - at this stage I feel like we saw the unlikely outcome from of say a 75% certainty of AJ winning - if they fought two more times AJ would likely win both of them if I see it right.

The Fury one is definitely the one where I had no choice but to just go "Well ****. That happened."

 

There was about five minutes there when I thought Shannon Briggs was going to be the next big destroyer. Man I think that might’ve been some kind of therapy saying that, good thread

 

I thought kovalev would destroy ward

 

This..Prime Curry stops any Honeyghan

 

Me too...and I would still have favoured a KO win in a 3rd fight
Truth is though he would easily have KO'd Bellew back in the day if he wasn't a complete shell and disabled version of his old self.

 

I warmed to Chunky as well when he was in the midst of his World title run and road warrior phase.

 

After stopping Tony DeMarco at 135, I actually thought Broner would go on to become Pound For Pound #1.

 

Almost every single time Fraudley Harrison hyped himself before a big fight, I believed in him 100%

In retrospect he was full of it, and never truly believed in himself.
