Worst ever prediction
What's yours? I'm going to humliiate myself by confessing that I picked Herbie Hide to beat Riddick Bowe and bet 300 quid on it. After two and a half rounds I was mentally counting my winnings, and then...Herbie fell over.

Etienne WPTS Tyson.
Ouch.
Ouch.
Re: Worst ever prediction
After telling everybody I knew to bet big on Lewis against Tyson I got all nervous on the day of the fight and went for Tyson by early stoppage.
Recently I tipped Jones to beat Calzaghe and Malignaggi to beat Hatton. I think therefore I know nothing.

Re: Worst ever prediction
my worst in recent years would be swearing blind that therewas no way Mayweather wouldknock Hatton out 
Re: Worst ever prediction
Colin Hart predicted that Akinwande would beat Lennox Lewis and that Ali would beat Holmes. On a personal note, I had £10 on Bungu to outpoint Naz!

Pele Reid to bring the heavyweight title home to Brum. 
Re: Worst ever prediction
Mario Veit to beat Joe Calzaghe (first fight).
based entirely on him being massive, undefeated and Joe not in good form. I thought we would have another Klitchsko vs Hide scenerio.

ps. One poster on this thread has failed to give their own bad pick. I seem to remember a big fuss was created when a certain poster declared he had gone LARGE on Castillo to beat Hatton.......
Re: Worst ever prediction
I had £100 on Earl to beat Khan and in true Chambers style* I'd proceeded to tell numerous mates about the bet and then watched the fight with a roomful of them...... I'm still getting slaughtered for it now, especially by the ones who were thick enough to think I knew what I was on about and had also backed himsg1985 wrote:i picked graham earl to beat khan

I could write a book on my 'Audley's gonna be Great' predictions.

Re: Worst ever prediction
I picked Tyszu to take Hatton out early. Fancied Judah to beat Cotto, picked Mosley over Cotto too, but had Mosley winning that, then thought Marg would outwork Mosley. Recently thought Pavlik would outwork an old BHOPs
Re: Worst ever prediction
Yeah, I said that Audley had the tools to become heavyweight champ. I'm not sure how wrong I was...I just didn't realise how short he was on the ticker dept.BIGMARK wrote:two words: Audley Harrison :( :(

My worst was jumping ship 30 mins before the DLH-Pac fight and lumping a big chunk on Oscar after stating for weeks that Pacquiao would stop him as DLH would be tight as hell at 147lb.
I was seething, come to think of it I still am

99.9% of us were also ... I think only the guys who didn`t know too much about boxing in the 1st place chose PacMan

The fact that he was a banger from Brum may well have coloured my judgement on this one!
Re: Worst ever prediction
in vegas, spud and i were caught up in the hype and fluttered a few quid on danny to stop vitali.......in retrospect, we are idiots !!
