Horrible predictions by boxing experts?

[Beanflicker]

Teddy Atlas:

Thompson over Wladimir in the first fight
Austin over Wladimir
Ibragimov over Wladimir
Barrera over Pacquiao in their last fight
Peter over Vitali

Atlas does always correctly predict Mayweather to win his fights though. He just doesn't like the Klitschkos and Pacquiao.

Hahah, I never realized Teddy had such a hard-on for wanting to see the Klitschkos lose.

This is the kind of stuff I mean. Anyone can be wrong when it's a huge upset, but I'm interested in knowing when an expert very confidently picked something improbable or at least even in results and it didn't play out that way.

Pavlik vs Hopkins. Alot of experts thought The Ghost would break the old man; I for one would have put the house on Hopkins in that 1.

The Ring staff: MikeTyson KO1 Evander Holyfield

Not to mention the 40+ plus writers at ringside...all except one Wallace Matthews (?) I believe.

I have only a single first hand account of a 'known' scribe, expert, writer etc. One Bert Sugar.

I had a short conversation with him on the phone prior to Holmes vs Mercer. I recall a phrase from him along the lines of "I don't know what hes' thinking...hes going to get murdered" Guess the old fox fooled a few there.
