    My picks for the near future...

    ...

    Hopkins vs. Eastman. Although Eastman's detractors will be silenced, Hopkins will keep him at bay and not get too involved (ie. an incredibly boring match) and win on a close but significant UD.

    Toney vs. Ruiz. Against all boxing logic and expectation Ruiz somehow manages to hang on to his title. Toney reports skins burns afterwards from all the time he spent getting hugged.

    Wlad vs. Byrd. Byrd manages to beat a confidence-deprived Wlad on points.

    Vitali vs. Rahman.
    A rude awakening for Rahman that ends after the third round.

    Tsyzu vs. Hatton. I said that Danny Williams was ****** to go in against the top guy without first showing what he can do against the more mediocre competition. This will be the same here - even though I don't like Ricky personally, I think he COULD be a serious contender. But we'll never know as it's a KO in five and his reputation is in tatters.

    I agree, I don't thin Hatton-Tszyu will go past three though. I also pick Judah to TKO Spinks.

            Those are the dumbest predictions ive seen. Are you picking all the long shots because if one wins you can say "I told you boxer x was gonna beat Boxer a"? Because thats what those pathetic predictions look like!

                I didn't know I had to validate my predictions.... You can surely put them down after you prove me wrong. Is it all of them that has gotten a rouse out of you? They are possible. IBhop, I just think it may be his time... I have only seen one of his fights many years ago... So that is purely a Hunch. JT v John R. I could see it turning sour do to Ruiz trying to hold and JT losing his temper. Remember, they are predictions, not what I would like to see happen. Rahman vs Vitali... I think VKs chin gets tested hard. Rahman looked hungrier in his last fight... I want Vitali to win though. I like more than I do Hasim. Tsyzu is just to crazy

                    Hasim Rahman is the former heavyweight champion of the world(IBF and WBC) who won the title from an ill-prepared Lennox Lewis. He then lost the title to Lewis in the rematch(that was a wicked right hand that Lewis threw I must say). He then went on to lose something like 3 outta of his next 4 with a draw to Tua and a loss to my man Evander.He got back his confidence by fighting something like 5 nobodies in a row and then fought world-titler challenger Kali Meehan and destroyed him in four. Rahman appears to be in good shape both mentally and physically right now.

                    So the fight with Vitali will be interesting.
