Your worst boxing predictions?

I also remember picking Zab Judah to light up Kostya, but we all know that didn't happen ::**

Hmm, good topic... Off my head, I can remember:

I was convinced that Judah would KO Cotto.... Stupid to think now.

I thought Gatti was still good enough to beat Baldomir.. Really looking back at it Gatti had next to nothing and no business at 147 anyways, and Baldomir was if nothing else a big, solid WW.

Barrera over Pacquiao just recently. I think a lot of people are guilty of this one, in which there was really no reason to pick Marco..

I don't know if I'd really call it a pick(certainly wouldn't have put money on it), but I think I took Morales over Pac in the 2nd and 3rd fights... 3rd was a really horrible call.

Again I didn't really pick with my head, but I thought Roy Jones was going to pull off a win against Tarver in the rubber match. Sad thing is I still think he could have easily won if his head was screwed on for even half the fight.

I remember watching Holyfied fight Toney when I was really just starting to be interested in boxing, it was probably a replay or something... I had a friends dad fill me in on Toneyfrom MW, as well as the fact that he just fought a war at Cruiser and had never fought at HW, I took a look at him, and thought I was going to see this guy get completely killed. It wasn't an informed pick obviously, I didn't know how shot Holyfield was, I just knew he KO'ed Mike Tyson and was a household name. I loved that fight, really made me a Toney fan before I was even a real boxing fan. Just that someone who looked so physically inferior could absolutely dominate his opponent like that..

I thought Trinidad was going to destroy Hopkins inside of 6 rounds

I predicted Zab to beat floyd....

We all make bad predictions-luckily I didn't get that one wrong-from time to time, everybody does it.

So what's your worst predictions lately? No need to say some shit like Sturm-Castilliejo, everybody picked Sturm in that one. And no need for something where one of the guy's was some complete unknown.

I guess my worst overall would have been picking Robin Reid over Lacy. I was kinda just wanting to pick an upset and thought Lacy was a bit overhyped but still, a shitty pick. Luckily I changed my mind enough on Lacy to pick him over Calzaghe ::**

I had $50. on Gatti....oopsie :-[

Hopkins v. Wright........even though Wright should have got the nod.

This could sting but WTFark

Rafael Ruelas "Tko" Oscar DeLaHoya woops
Mayorga KO Whiney baby Spinks
Ray Leonard W. Terry Norris :-\

::** OMG i cant believe im fessing this sheet up but i truely belived Gatti was going to murder Mayweather.

Not here though, no i wasn't a member back then. I got into a discussion on an EAsports forum :D and got on my soap box preaching about how Gatti would never loose to a guy with so little power and that Mayweather would cumble under pressure form a much bigger man.

I had no idea what i was talking about ;D


I also though Tito would KO Winky. Two horible predictions in the space of about months i think :-\

Don Curry to whip Lloyd Honeyghan, first round embarassment for the Raga - didn't quite happen

I actually picked Ray Austin to beat Klitschko during the last prediction contest. I was trying to be clever, but it didn't come off the way I hoped ???

;D I know exactly what you mean.

I picked Lacy to knock out Joe Calzaghe.

I thought Lacy was a monsterous newcomer, and my opinion of Joe back the was just that he was another overhyped fighter from across the pond who was coming to the end of his rope and was due for a loss against a solid fighter.

I also throught Joppy would be Tito's toughest test at the time.....

Naseem Hamed to KO Marco Antonio Barrera

like Fenster was saying, huge upsets aren't really bad picks.

You were right to pick Lewis to beat both of those guys. He was the better fighter, he should have won.

And CCs to J Buddy and No Contest for coming clean on their Gatti-Mayweather picks ;D You were not alone at least.
