        Trying to think of all the times I've got it wrong, and there were many. I'll skip the obvious ones like Cotto-Martinez that shocked everyone:

        -I thought Malignaggi would beat that MMA guy, and boy was I happy to be wrong!
        -I thought Haye would probably KO Wladimir. Oops.
        -I was positive Castillo still had enough in the tank to beat Alfonso Gomez.
        -Rios-Alvardo 2. What the fuck, Brandon. I sat there wearing my Brandon Rios t-shirt like a fucking clown.
        -Lastly, and most embarrassingly, I thought an in-shape James Toney would be competitive with Denis Lebedev. I was thinking a SD W or L. It was definitely going to be close.

          My worst one ever was Hatton over Pacquiao

          Thing was I couldn't actually justify that pick with anything technical, I just thought Hatton would be "too big" and would maul pacquiao.

            Yeah, it was surprising to see him rocked in the first. He stayed stunned the rest of the fight.
            Haven't seen his comeback but i hope he doesn't fight any top guys. I guess i wouldn't mind him vs chavez jr

              I was fired up for those fights too. Bam bam disappointed me a few times. I know he was always limited but I expected heart and balls to carry him.

                If ODLH is really coming back then I’d be fine with him fighting Martinez. I think that would actually be intriguing to a lot of fans. But if I know Oscar he’d rather lose against a bigger name for bigger money. Have the odds really stacked against himself, that way with a valiant performance he can still get sum credit. Fight at the top one last time. I was a JCC JR. fan but at this point I don’t really want to see him get any fights anymore. He got $3.5 million for his last debacle.

                  I thought Margarito was just going to run right over Mosley. I also thought Barrera was going to whip Pac in the first match. Both ended up being one sided ass whippings the other way....

                    Definitely a good layout for oscar if he comes back.

                      Right. I think Junior should retire for sure. He’s ended up getting much more than he deserved, which we all expected. I remember a trip to Mexico back when Junior and Canelo were both coming up. Every local I talked boxing with said they were all about Chavez JR. My Dad had the same experience. Junior had the best sideburns in boxing. People hoped for the best but I think we all expected the worst. He wouldn’t show up to the gym and just push the couch back and shadow box in his undies all while somehow holding a bowl of cereal. I saw him live once on his way up. I was fan of seeing what would happen with him and his circus novelty, but a true fighter he never was.
