Fighters You Were Wrong About.

You are getting a little, "off course," yourself mate

Sorry about my incorrect spelling. I am wrong from time to time and I am the first to admit it.

Cristian Mijares is the last fighter I've fallen for the hype hook, line, and sinker. What a drop off.

Ditto with Mijares . . I thought he'd be the next Mexican superstar and was destined for top 5 lb for lb status. He had the tools, just seemed to mentally fall apart after the Vic loss.

I thought Lacey would be THE man at 168 for awhile (the Vanderpool win to me really clouded my eyes, he'd never look that good again) and was one of the many who thought he'd KO Calzaghe.

I never thought Wlad would come back to dominate as much as he has since the Brewster loss, but I'll caveat that by saying I never could've envisioned the HW division getting this bad . . .

To me it has to be Camacho Sr. After watching his speed, reflexes, and overall skills vs Limon, Solis, and Remirez, I thought this guy is going to be a top 10 all-time great by the end of his career. His hand speed and his combos were like out of this world. He looked to me like the real deal. Of course, Rosario set me back to reality.

I still think he belongs in HOF.

People often forgets that he still have some good wins fighters such as Ramirez, Rosario, Edwards, Davis Jr., Mancini, and Pazienza. In his prime he lost only to the elite Chavez, Trinidad, and DLH. He lost to Haugen in a close fight and then avenge his loss.

He has an all-time great chin that much can be said about him. Too bad his heart did not match his skills.

Another fighter I was wrong about: Angel "El Diablo" Manfredy

I was wrong about Markus Beyer and Richie Woodhall.

Markus Beyer, I overrated him, I thought that he was going to go on and unify the division and (maybe) retire as an undisputed champion.
That wasn't happening after his loss to Kessler.

Richice Woodhall, I underrated himn, I didn't think he was going to go on and become a world champion.

I was wrong on both accounts.
