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).
Worst "pick" you ever made?

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.PredatorHayds wrote:

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...Yes We Can wrote:
Couldn't see past Cotto against Pacman, believed he would break him down and stop him late.... go figure.

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.
