Apologies if this has already been done, haven't seen it, but what picks are you going with for the first quarter of 2006?
I've got a bad memory, so I might have missed out a couple, but this is what I remember as the most prominent fights January-March:
1. Castillo-Coralles III. ("I spit out my gumshield, Amigo!" "Si, and I come in fat on purpose for advantage, Amigo!"). I pick Castillo again. He nearly won the first, won the second... is there any reason to suspect that Coralles's chin hasn't reached its sell-by date?
2. Toney-Rahman. Not only do I predict Toney will win this one, but I also predict it will be one of his very few actual KOs at heavyweight.
3. Lacy-Calzaghe. I go with Calzone for the simple reason that if Lacy wins I couldn't bear to read 50,000 "I told you Lacy would pwn that Brit ***, LMAO!" threads. Joe Blow, you gotta show...
4. Williams-Ske... we don't wanna do that one, do we?
My pick is pretty obvious...
5. Jones Jr. vs. Hopkins - a horrible feeling that the far-from-shot Hopkins will take advantage here. And after laying out Roy for the third time in his career he'll pull a ****y grin and say he's the reincarnation of Sugar Ray.
6. Judah vs. Mayweather - I pick Mayweather, if only because Judah is extraordinarily overrated (what, he beat Corey Spinx the SECOND time of asking and that's p4p top twelve???) and so that Floyd can face off against his proper opponents - Hatton, Cotto - instead of ducking them. Don't be another Roy, Floy.
7. Mormeck vs. Bell - Never seen either, curse me for my current Cruiserweight ignorance, but I'm just guessing here.
8. Pacquaio vs. Morales - who's got more to prove? I think Pacquaio might pull this one out, even though logic says Morales a second time.
