i know this is an old thread but just wondered who of these fighters above didnt have good years and who did , i cant remember dates for fights etc , but just thought it might be a bit of something worth discussing , did the people fall flat on their face as predicted or did that particular year prove to be the making of any of the fighters in question , ive been looking through ancient threads to see if i can embarass anyone with outlandish predictions that have been proved wrong but it seems back in the day the only thing people ever talked about was audley harrison , and it was pretty undecided at the time how he would do , also most posts only have 2 or 3 replies , according to one thread british forum was ridiculed as the "grave yard " by the current scene lot , but i now believe the british forum is the best on here

If only there was some sort of online encyclopedia, where you could check, eh?
