    The fighter who has proven you wrong the most

    is there a certain fighter you've gone against time and time again and they have kept proving you wrong?

    Danny Garcia; Credit to this guy, you keep proving me wrong. I bet on him to beat Khan but I never thought he would (took him purely as a cover bet). I thought Lucas would decapitate him though I thought he looked very sharp in his media day workout again somehow he got the win. He never looks great or even very good to me, I still say hes not p4p skillwise and isn't that good but he finds a way too win. Always winning but never impressing.

    Ricky Burns; What a mediocre fighter this guy is. I had no hesitation picking Katsidis over him - Props, best performance of the guys career for me, boxed beautifully that night. Quietly confident Mitchell would beat him, that didn't go to plan either. You're not getting me this time you're going to easily beat Gonzalez
    Then I picked him to take a close but fairly comfortably decision against Beltran, he got stomped & a gift draw.
    I can never predict this guys fights. I have no doubt Crawford is going to beat him but with my poor history of predicting Burns fight outcomes I am hesitant. Nothing goes as expected with this guy.
    F.U Ricky Burns, T-Craw will beat your ass!

      Froch, Danny Garcia, Mares. Never expected any of them to get where they are today

        One of the many things that makes me love this sport. Underdogs winning.

          Carl Froch. I'm still not sure how he does it and stopped picking against him.

              Carl Froch most definitely.

              Used to loathe him around 2007 times, hated the guy. Picked him to lose to Taylor, Abraham, Dirrell, Bute and he just kept proving me wrong. Ended up a fan now.

              If we go back I picked Ali to lose a lot of his fights especially after the Frazier and then Norton loses although I was still pretty young at that time. Foreman I thought would likely kill him. As in literally.

                Danny Garcia.

                Deserves big big props. I thought Khan would beat him, as I did with Lucas but he dam near halted Khan's & Lucas' career. I've got to a stage where I've now become a fan of the kid. He's not great at any one thing IMO and I still can't fathom how he continues to win but fair play to him.

                  Nobody of today's fighter's but I used to pick against Holyfield all the time and was usually pissed at the end of the night.
