    Worst/Best predictions you've ever made

    Be honest everyone, because no matter how much all of us think we know, no of us are always right, so with that what are your worst prediction's, your'e best prediction's and also your upcoming predictions for this years big fights.

    Worst predictions:-
    Razor Ruddock to destroy Lennox Lewis
    Honeyghan to ko Starling
    Honeyghan to ko Breland
    McClellan to ko Benn

    Best predictions:-

    Douglas to beat Tyson
    Watson to ko Benn in 6
    Lewis to lose 1st 6rounds against Bruno then ko him in 7 (Couldn't have been more spot on)
    Leonard to outpoint Hagler

    Upcoming predictions:-

    Calzaghe to beat Kessler UD12 (convincingly)
    Mayweather to outpoint Hatton UD12 (But if mayweather neglects his training, and opts to fight it out with Hatton then Ricky will stop him late, but won't be able to tell until after 1-2 rounds, so might change my mind in the early rounds of the fight)
    Cotto to beat Mosely KO11 (After getting up off the deck)
    Taylor UD12 Pavlik
    Pacquio ko 9 Barerra

    I dont believe ANYBODY in the world had Douglas to beat Tyson. No way.

    My worst was probably JLC to KO Hatton but he just wasn't himself so i let myself off for that one.

    Best was probably PBF to EMBARRASS/DOMINATE Gatti. Which he did.

        Believe what you want, I ain't gonna lose any sleep if you don't. I ain't got no reason to lie. I also remember being extremely pissed off as well, because I couldn't get anywhere to watch the fight live, and went round a mates to watch a re-run the next day. Sat down waiting for it to start, and the ****ing wanker that was on the telly introducing the program went and gave the bastard result away just before they showed it, I was fuming, that one of the greatest upsets in history of boxing and I couldn't watch it unfold it completely ruined the whole fight. I'll never forgive them for that. Don't ask me why, I just had a gut feeling what with his training or lack of it, and the fact that Douglas's mother had passed away, I also thought that he was slipping and hadn't looked as good in his previous fights, Carl Williams excluded.

          i know a few people who took a lot of money off the bookies when douglas beat tyson. If you followed Tyson's career and lifestyle it was a defeat just waiting to happen. Add to that Douglas just lost his him mum who he was really close to so he wouldnt have been scared by Tyson. So i beleive Hurricane.

          My best prediction has to be Bruno to win a world title before he retires after he lost to Lewis. Put £20 on it at 25 to 1 down the bookies. Had to be WBA, WBC or IBF though.

          I lost a lot on Tyson Spinks though, i bet my mate £50 and a month of buying the drinks Spinks would go the distance. Cant believe i did that !!!

          he still calls him Michael "the drinks" Spinks

            I'm sure that most peoples worst predictions come from the most embarrasing losses.


            Example:

            Jeff Lacy KO Cal in 2 rounds
            Trinidad KO Wright in 4 rounds

            etc...

              i nailed the following 2, but i wish i hadnt...

              1.-
              Wright will dominate Taylor in a competitive, yet clear cut 12 round fight, it will be much more exciting than people think, the HBO guys will be nuthugging Taylor all over the place, ultimatley Winky will get robbed, however his victory will be so clear that all they can give Taylor is a Draw....

              2.-
              In a foul filled fight, Wright will beat Hopkins in rounds clearly, only to get robbed in a wide UD for Hopkins...

              Worst:

              JLC TKO11 Hatton

              and honestly if Castillo wouldve gotten up, he still had a chance...yeah even shot Castillo...sad he was just in there for the paycheck..

                    I aint calling you a liar. Like you just said as if you give a **** what i think anyway haha. Its just hard to believe. I'd call that the biggest upset in boxing. Tyson was an animal and 99.99% of the world didn't see him getting beat by anybody.
