    what was the worst prediction you've ever made??

    a prediction you were wrong about that shocked you.

    i predicted lacy over calzaghe by KO and joe ended his career that night.

    i also predicted vargas to beat de la hoya.

    and explain the reasoning behind the pick. for example calzaghe was unknown and i fell for the "lacy is the next tyson" hype. and i thought vargas had the strength to manhandle and stop oscar late rounds and he had genuine hatred for dlh. lost money that night.

      Should have seen the signs in hindsight, but I picked broner to comfortably beat maidana. Well that didnt happen. Nevertheless, I was still happy to see broner getting his ass kicked lol

        someone who could box and wasnt short enough to get caught in his vice grip clinches happened to him. wlad is a basic boxer. thats why fury beat him.

          Wlad was clearly diminished physically, and even mentally in that fight, too many outside distractions with his crazy hoe of a wife and the death of his trainer.

          Wlad showed big signs of decline against Jennings, Fury was always going to be difficult style for him, but the fact that Wlad was washed up made the difference. Fury was in the right place and the right time. Prime Wlad would have flattened the clown.

            Hatton to beat Pacquaio..... man was I wrong about that one. I remember reading all the predictions for a Pacman victory thinking "these guys are sleeping on Ricky's rough inside work"

                  Probably Hatton to beat Pacquiao. Unbelievable looking back at it

                  My logic at the time was that Hatton was still undefeated at LWW and he would be able to out muscle & maul the smaller Pacquiao on the inside & start to land the left to the body.

                    I actually expected Hatton to last like ten round like he did with mayweather. I was thinking that Manny would follow the game plan of Mayweather in beating Hatton. All too wrong.
