Thats a great sign for me cuz I am PACMAN fan!

And better news is that Emanuel Steward pick Hatton!

Steward and Atlas picks are legendary!

Atlas has special powers, he intentionally picks they guy he wants to lose.

Well he did recently pick Cotto, Williams, Pavlik and i believe he choose Marquez to beat Diaz( not to sure on that one though). I remember when Atlas and Kellerman had their own show on ESPN, and Teddy use to get into analyzing fights and he rarely got a pick wrong, so i personally think that when hes serious about his picks, he can be on and get most of them right. Recently hes been making the right picks, so hopefully that's a start that the real Atlas is coming back.

the fights you named on top are all obvious because they are obvious comeback tuneup fights. ofcourse cotto is going to beat jennings for god's sake and same with pavlik and rubio.

but when he focuses on actual fights that count with big name boxers he's always wrong.

Klitschko vs Thompson and Klitschko vs Austin were also obvious, and yet he picked the underdogs, so IMO he just does that on purpose. Also, Williams over Wright was seen as a toss up before the fight happened, and he also picked Cotto over Mosley.
