Shame thread: When have you been woefully wrong in your boxing predictions

Hatton vs Pac. Cotto vs. Pac. I thought they were to big and strong. Simply underestimated Pac speed and power. Lost money also.

I dont make any predictions anymore. I now believe I can make people lose by predicting them.

Recently, I was horribly wrong in the Brian Vera v. Sergio Mora fight. I thought Mora would box his ears off.

I was also pretty sure that Judah was going to knock out Cotto.

Pacquiao-DLH
Pacquiao-Hatton
Pacquiao-Cotto
Pacquiao-Margarito

I'm almost afraid they might announce Pacquio-Klitschko. I'd probably bet on Klitschko and lose also.

;D

I have never been wrong on any of my predictions.

In hindsight, I had WAY TOO much confidence in Jermain Taylor. I thought he wasn't finished after the Pavlik losses and predicted he would make some noise in the Super 6. At least I wasn't completely wrong. He did make noise thudding on the canvas during his fights in the tourney.

As did I. Gave him to many chances. He makes a comeback, good chance I'll give him one more

Fool you predicted 2010 would be the year you finally had sex with a girl. Guess what? We in 2011. Have you had sex with a girl yet? No. You a pimp when it comes to dealing with the boys. But you don't even exist to the girls.

I thought his speed would to much for Cotto. Apparently not.

I was shamefully, woefully wrong when I "thought" (read: hoped with all my might) that Arturo Gatti would fight competitively against Floyd Mayweather. More of a fan thing than a boxing prediction, but as much as I dislike Floyd and as much as I liked Arturo, I was really chomping at the bit for Gatti to rough him up, pound the elbows, arms, any target at all he could find in Mayweather's serpentine postural defenses. Jesus, was I wrong, ate crow, and----being a writer at that time for rabbitpunchboxing.com---had to submit an article admitting my wrongness titled "Gatti Takes a Shellacking".

I had spoken via conference call to Gatti and James ‘Buddy” McGirt a few days before the fight, and Buddy told me personally they had a plan that Gatti would hit Floyd behind the ear---"Hakoona Matata" he was calling it jokingly---and hit any available target like Marciano used to do. They had me convinced........ :(

I thought Shane would beat Floyd. :rolleyes:

Yes I do. The question that should be ask to me is "Do I ever feel ashame at taking peoples money after a bet"? Honestly it has gone to a point where I am now very rich and everyone who bets against me are now all very poor. To answer the question that should be ask to me - I would say no I have no shame. Gambling is not a risking game to me, it more like a robbery. Me taking other peoples money.

You're wrong, and your mother will attest to it.

I predicted that Cliford Etten would beat Tyson because I thought Tyson had nothing left.

Me and my mate put a tenner on it each.

But I get proved sort of right in Tysons next fight when Williams beat him.I also had a tenner on that and made a lot of cash.(by my standards)

Zahir vs. Morales...

I generally suck and am wrong 98.9% of the time. I try to predict with my head but I think my heart rules out and justifies itself.

Alexander vs Bradley

Calzaghe vs Lacy and Jones

Pavlik vs Hopkins

Pac's last 5 fights lol!

On and on the shame had accumulated lol
