    Tszyu over Hatton, I thought Tszyu would do what Pac did to Hatton
    Cotto over Margo, Cotto is just a better skilled fighter overall
    Dirrell over Froch, Dirrell again is just much more skilled
    Jones over Tarver for obvious reasons

      I picked Margarito over Shane because Shane had a good tendency to struggle with tall ass fighters. Also, Margarito's pressure was better then Cotto's and Cotto's pressure gave Mosley problems.

      I picked Mijares to beat Darchinyan because Darchinyan appeared to have no defense or no controlled style of fighting either.

        I thought Mosley was too old to beat Margarito. Likewise for Hopkins against Pavlik, and Lewis in the rematch with Rahman. I thought age and long careers had caught up with them.

        I thought Pacquiao was too small for De La Hoya & Cotto, and simply too flawed to beat Barrera the first time around.

        I picked Hopkins to beat Taylor the first time around (I don't think I picked a winner for the rematch). I thought Taylor was too flawed, always quick to clinch on the inside where I thought he'd be roughed up by Bernard. Also thought the way he telegraphed his right hand with the "bow-and-arrow" would come back to haunt him.

          1. I picked Cotto over Margarito because Cotto was the better boxer and he was going to break the body down. Margarito is way too easy to hit.

          2. Cotto over Pacman because Cotto was "stronger" than Pacman. Plus I thought Cotto's game plan was going to be to box him like Marquez did. Counter punching the straight left with Cotto's left hook.

          3. Martinez over Williams because Martinez is a better version of Quintana.
          4. Cintron over Margarito because of Cintron power. I did not realized that Cintron can not take a punch.
          5. Urango over Alexander because Urango was going to break down the body of Alexander like he was doing before getting KO.

              i pick kessler over ward cause i seen how kessler was able to hang with clazhage and i thought he be able to box ward into a desecion or KO. but in the back of my head something told me to get ward cause ward boxing skills seemed more polished then kesslers.

              i pick cotto ova pac cause i thought cotto was too strong for pac cause of the size differance. i didn't think pac was too quick for him and work him up like a dog in the later rounds.

              i pick marquez over mayweather cause my dumbass thought marquez was a better counter puncher then may. didn't think that frist marquez was fat at that weight

                I picked Steve Forbes over Andre Berto...I'm still trying to think of why.

                    I didn't think Ward would beat Kessler. I thought he was too green and also had too many questions about his punch resistance.

                      Many Manny Pac fights ... damn manny always makes me lose money ahahaha but the guy its wonderful.

                      and some more but nothing really surprising.
