Here’s a novel idea, why don’t you follow mu previous advice and go to the Mayweather YouTube channel and see for yourself.
What’s wrong with you today? You keep arguing with me about things when you’ve not researched and you’re unwilling to even consider educating yourself.
You have an opinion on everything but you have so many knowledge gaps.
You can't name anyone then. It's OK to admit you were wrong.
Also, searching Google for a word or phrase isn't "research" if you blindly believe everything the search result throws up without verifying whether it is true or not.

Go to the YouTube channel and look for yourself.
I’ll post the video later if you’re lacking intelligence and initiative to do it yourself.
I’ll fûckîng embarrass you if you think I’m lying about this.
So please try and pretend I’m being dishonest!

Insults and petulance won't make you correct.
Nobody is saying you are dishonest, I'm saying you haven't named anyone who can be considered a boxing journalist or a boxing professional of dome description.

ODLH (another general after a battle) claims that he knew that AJ had a suspect chin, and so on, and so on......

Thanks but that interview was after the fight, not before?

I picked Williams to beat Hurd
Quick recollections of $$ line "upsets":
Hopkins to TKO Trinidad
Tzyz to TKO Judah
Forrest to dec SSM
Raheem dec Morales
McCallum TKO Curry
not exactly "upsets". (in my view$ but betting underdogs at the time. I've obviously dropped the ball on a couple occasions. Boxing is not fun to gamble on..... GGG won both fights, the second by an even wider margin in my mind. But was robbed BOTH times.
Heartbreaking.

Just want to point out one nuance of predictions. Correctly picking an upset doesn't make you good at predictions. Someone could pick the underdog in literally every fight, and they may only be right 4% of the time, but for the few correct picks that they do make, should they be a legend? A good predictor should not only have accurately predicted one big upset, they should have a good overall body of accurate prediction.

Fair comment.
I've got a good history of picking winners but then I go with what I think is the logical outcome. Generally when there is a poll on this forum, i make my vote as to my predicted outcome and then when I check the 'leaderboard' it's almost always the majority opinion. I don't know why I'm still surprised sometimes that when I vote for who I think is going to win in a reasonably competitive fight, that nine out of ten have the same winner/outcome as me.
I can't claim any great insight though. I can't remember confidently picking a big underdog and getting it right.

Like I said before, many Mayweather gym members accurately predicted the upset. They’re all experts.
You’re either lazy or lack the intellect to use YouTube. So which one is it?
