    Default Predictions

    What are your worst and best predictions you have ever made?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    One of the best would have to be calling how effective Pacquiao's left uppercut would be against Cotto.

    Worst? Pavlik knocking out and retiring Hopkins.

    I also may or may not have said that I thought Steve Molitor had P4P skills .

    WORST

    Vargas was going to do a number on Oscar...

    Gatti had a good chance to beat Mayweather...

    Manfredo had a good chance against Calzaghe... In hindsight this is preposterous!

    Lacy would KO Calzaghe... Nuff said

    Marquez Mayweather was going to be very competetive...


    BEST

    Ward would beat Kessler with his movement... Indeed. That and his head

    Micky Ward could beat Gatti (I)


    Kelly Pavlik KOs Taylor

    There's many more on both sides but these are the first ones to come to mind. I'll edit and add later.

    Too many to mention. My problem has been that I always side with the underdog, but I don't do that so obviously these days. I say who I think will win and usually add a simple "but I would actually like Joe Bloggs to win".

    Worst has to be Judah knocking out Baldomir.
    Best is either Hopkins over Winky or Hopkins over Pavlik

    I thought Naz would knock Barrera out

    I thought Tyson would beat Lewis

    I thought Tyson would beat Holyfield both times.

    I thought Pavlic would KO Hopkins

    I thought Pac would get smashed to bits by Hatton, Hoya and Cotto

    I can't think of any good predictions of late other than Marquez-Floyd being a complete mis-match.

    I really thought Tito would knockout Wright- Wrong
    Tito would beat Bhop- Wrong....Damn you Tito lol
    Bhop would beat Pavlik- Right
    Bhop would beat Tarver- Right
    Margacheato would beat Cotto- Right. Wish it was the other way around though.

    Ive backed every single pacquiao opponent to beat him for the last 3 years now besides diaz.

    Won big on hopkins-pavlik something like £250
    Lost big on pacquiao-hatton
    Won a fair bit on froch to beat taylor/dirrell
    lost something rotten on calzaghes fights with both lacy and hopkins

    luck tends to even itself out

    The 2 that spring to mind are 2 that I made a decent amount of cash on and they are Martin Rogan to beat Audley Harrison which was 7/1 and David Haye to KO Monte Barrett in the 5th round for which I got 11/1. I also predicted Holyfield would beat the crap out of Tyson at the time and everyone thought I was mad lol.

    Worst, Roy Jones will Toy with Tarver before he KO's him in the 3rd or 4th round for making him look bad in the first fight when he was weight drained

    Dont know if i dare say this one but i had Baldomir to gave Floyd fits

    One i knew would win was Pac v Cotto.

    The only time i have bet on a fight was for Hatton to stop Kostya rd11, got payed on it as he didnt come out for the final rd, well happy about that one

    Great thread by the way.

    Worst Picks -

    De la Hoya to beat Manny. Too big, Too strong.....Erm..... Too wrong.

    Trinidad to beat Hopkins - Too good, hits too hard, and B-Hop is too old..... Erm......11 rounds of schooling and I was so told.

    Best Pick Ever -

    And this was direct from Hatton's site -

    Ricky to win by stoppage in the 11th or 12 round, in a way that very few people would expect.
    (I actually thought the ref would stop the fight late on, I didnt expect Tszyu to quit on his stool ).

    Either way, it looked like one hell of a prediction.
    Some people say boxing is a matter of life or death, it's not, it's far more important than that.

    Worst

    McClellan to destroy Benn. Anyone that thought otherwise was totally clueless (learnt a good lesson in that fight.. especially as I was paying out all my wages).

    Best

    As a former prediction comp champion, obviously i'm used to making great picks (). Prescott to KO Khan at 80/1 is a good recent one.

    Winky to beat Shane - after Winky had beaten all our domestic Brits with ease.


    Loads of bad ones all similar

    Pac Man to lose to ODH, Hatton and Cotto
    ODH to beat Floyd
