    Wlad over Sam Peter I (easy looking back on it but at the time EVERYONE thought Peter was going to win)
    Wright over Mosley
    Thompson over Solis I (Tony wasn't the underdog in the rematch)

    ....not sure what other ones I've called....Cotto over Abdullaev which was a rematch of an amateur bout that Cotto lost.

    Calzaghe/Lacy. Everyone now says Lacy was shit, but they were all picking him. Calzaghe was always a league above a face first brawler. Boxing experts are a bit like leading economists. They have the loudest voices, but the rich are richer because they work for the machine.

    I'm proud to say I always said Lacy was shit. If people would look past his muscles to watch the action they would have known that too. People can't see past the "talent" to see the fighter.

    This was no major upset though even to the bookees. Lacy was a very slight favorite.

    I won big on Holyfield over Tyson, that was my biggest win for years. Tyson was another guy people could never see for what he really was, Pacquiao too. When folks start to realize greatness comes from the mind not from athleticism it will become hard to fleece them.

    Wright v Shane as he had beaten up all our brush fighters with ease and Mosely was just too small to beat Wright.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Maidana over Broner. Wrong style, only Floyd can lean back against the ropes & use that elbow for defense. I felt Adrian used his legs to move, not stick and move. And as soon as he settles Marcos would work him over.
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!

    I'm sure everyone on here had Williams as favourite over Winky. I also thought he'd beat Margarito.
