    Default Fights You Would've Predicted An Upset

    @ WW Paul Williams over Mayweather.

    Style is all wrong in every way. High punch output by a guy @ 6'1 79inch reach vs 5'8 72 inch reach. Knowing Floyd can't drop him he throws inside as many times as he throws from the outside. Floyd finds success midrounds until Paul's corner tells him to go back to boxing from the outside.
    Throws over a thousand to land 250.
    Floyd throws about 500 to land 220.

    Year 2000-2003ish Shane stops Pacman in a wild slugfest.

    Herol Graham number 1 contender takes on Marvin Hagler, who decided not to fight Leonard, and comprehensively outboxes Marvellous to win points decision.

    Akinwande outpoints Evander by using his height, reach and speed before the bout was cancelled.

    Tyson Fury, who many thought would lose, batters and stops David Haye into permanent retirement.

    Are you serious. Graham beats Hagler?

    Yes, Marvin got outboxed by a old retired welterweight in Leonard, Bomber would have bamboozled Hagler and become undisputed middleweight champion of the world.

    Not exactly out of left field but I would have picked Junior Witter to chin Ricky Hatton.

    Pac over Valero.

    Not that Edwin would have had betting odds favor him, but upset in that it would've been way too lopsided. A 1-way beat down.

    Edwin was tough, but threw his shots too wild, too looping, no D & the way Demarco busted him up, Pac would've won either by TKO (multiple kds) or by massive blood letting.


    I wanted to see this fight SSSOOOOOOO bad!



    Looking at his highlights every punch was telegraphed via loop: to the left or right. Nothing str8 let alone a well placed jab, Jab wasn't in his vocabulary.
    Very flat footed. Squared up when throwing his wide combos.

    He would've landed on pac for sure, but that would've been in the midst of exchanges. Pac's shots wouldn't just loop, but would go thru the middle followed by nasty uppercuts with a level of speed far too great for Edwin to counter them all.

    Edwin gets humbled and turns to drinking/drugs & suffers a similar fate only Pac would've been seen as the one who ruined Valero's career.
    Pac beats him worse than he did Cotto.

    sorry. I’m calling bullshit there. You would NOT have predicted that at the time.
    I’ll give you the Herol Graham one though.

    I would’ve definitely tipped the young inexperienced Joe Calzaghe to beat Steve Collins at the time. And so would Steve Collins! That’s why he retired.

    I've predicted a lot of upsets in my time.

    I thought Pac would beat Thurman. I thought Mosely would beat Margarito. I thought Ricky Hatton would beat Kostya Tzyu.

    My future upsets are that Luke Campbell beats Ryan Garcia. AJ beats Fury. Povetkin to beat Dillian Whyte again

    Granted none of my predictions or future predictions were or would be big upsets. But still.

    My prediction as well as hope. Gained respect for AJ, losing it for Fury.

    I got Callum Smith to beat Canelo this week. I know he can do it.
