I have too many 'wrongs' to list here...worst one was Tye Fields.
Haha. Dont think I can top that! Be suprised if anyone can. On a positive note, your honesty is appreciated
Honest to a fault. I wasn't even on this forum when I started watching the big fella! So there's no evidence. I think it's just freakin' hilarious. He got sparked out by a guy named Jeff ford and I still watched him until he got smeared by Monte Barrett in his first
real fight. I had some good ones too. Watched Wilder from before his Olympic Bronze; SRL from before Montreal Olympics, remembering him being robbed in some tourney before that in Russia, to name two good ones.
Think those picks just about redeem your Tye Fields pick. Great pick on Wilder. Dont think anyone predicted him picking up a strap and in with a chance of becoming number 1 in the division.

Thanks! I love my big mistakes, as they really make me laugh!

Still think Liam William's could surprise a few people ... Still relatively young and will have learnt alot from the Smith defeats.

I think Lewis Ritson loss will prove in his favour and he will rebound stronger from it. I think he could go all the way.
As far as I am concerned 'undefeated' is a tag, sometimes fighters are better losing it.

Talking about Tye Fields, he once fought Julius Long - that surely has to be a shout for the fight with the tallest combatants ever (Big Sky won in the third).

When I first started following him, Fields' nickname was "Railroad" Tye Fields. My Lord what a bum!

Yes, hopefully it was a learning experience.
Being undefeated either means you haven't been tested, or your brilliant, it's usually the former.
