      That was a big fight man. As callous as it sounds, I distinctly remember (after the shock wore off, of course), being so bummed in the immediate days after Sep 11 because it f'cked up the Hokins-Trinidad fight. Was worth the wait when Bernard dusted him off.

        Easy pick, right?

        GGG won't be the same after that Canelo fight. Vanes is going to land a big shot and everyone will be shocked when GGG hits the canvas. He'll get up but Vanes will just pummel him until the ref stops it.

        The hype train will be derailed.

          Maidana over Broner. AB was a 3-1 favorite. I don’t know how the books could be so far off. I felt the Malignaggi fight showed fans, bettors, and the oddsmakers everything they needed to know. But the Kool Aid was strong with that one.

            The writing was on the wall before Douglas-Tyson but most including me refused to believe it or see it.

                Danny Garcia over Khan I thought DSG was very underrated at 140 at the time I might have made a thread about it
                Martinez v Paul 2 also but I think Paul was slightly favorite, Hops over Pascal, Rigondeax over Donaire

                  One of the biggest upsets ever.
                  Only topped by Buster over Mike.


                  Believe it or not, Pryor over Arguello I was a bit of an upset.
                  Pac over Ledwaba was a bit of an upset too.
                  I had the winners on both.

                    When Page knocked Tyson down ?
                    Problem was Douglas was a known quitter .
                    Couldn't even beat Ferguson for the ESPN belt .
