My scorecard in the first Barrera-Morales is horrendous. I have MAB 118-110 in one of the closest fights of all time.

I also thought Danny Williams was going to become the greatest heavy of all time. I constantly annoyed everyone with my rants about how great he was going to become. (Because of the serious love I showed him he probably goes down as one of my favourite fighters ever).

at the very least he always seemed like one of the sport's real nice guys. i don't remember too many times, when I have been as genuinely chuffed for a bloke as I was after he beat Tyson.

Couldn't see past Cotto against Pacman, believed he would break him down and stop him late.... go figure.
i think a fair few of us got at least one of our picks wrong back in the day when Pac was fighting in a new weight class every five months...

That was probably my favourite boxing moment.

The big fella put a smile on my face for a good week.

When he fought Klitschko he was getting battered I was convinced he was going to land a big shot and turn it around.

I also will add i thought John Simpson was going to really out tough Lee Selby and grind him down to a points win.

Jermain Taylor v Carl Froch - gutted lost £50 that night. Was counting my money then BANG! IT WAS ALL OVER.

I Put £500 on Bernard Hopkins @ 3/1 to beat Calzaghe. Still convinced Hopkins was robbed.

HINDSIGHT IS INDEED A WONDERFUL THING!!!

I thought Donaire would have to much for Rigo. I was right on the Donaire bandwagon at the time and completely overlooked Rigondeaux.
