He was superb doing what he needed to do to win.

Floyds best performance for me was against Corrales, amazing that night. He was superb against Canelo, and his win against Marquez is underrated.

I banged a fair amount of money on Harrison to beat price by Ko and then after his prizefighter display did the same bloody thing when he fought wilder. Heart ruling head that one :lol:

Sounds like you've also backed against him as well.

I thought that too. That fight took place when I was still in secondary school, and I was a big Tyson fan when I was a kid - I never really liked Lewis, and I desperately wanted to see Tyson win with a big KO victory.

I did the same with Pacquaio vs Mayweather... Put money on Pacman - pure heart over head that one.

No,
Just referring to him being used as the easy championship win for boxings first gay world champion, then for the quickest world title win (Orlando Cruz and Vasyl Lomachenko respectively)
Both times he ripped up the script.

Povetkin to not only knock out Klitschko but I even called a double left hook in the 5th round
to do it.
I had a dream before the fight and was convinced it was going to happen. :doh:

Hatton and Oscar to both beat Pacquiao.I just thought they were too big and strong for him.

I was 100% certain that Cooney was going to destroy Holmes.

I picked Hearns over Hagler

Shavers over Quarry

Dadgumit I have a long line of terrible picks :OhYes:

Pretty sure he was a solid favorite against Cruz.

I still sit sometimes in a darkened room with a beer in my hand and even though the fight has been over for 3 years, I still think it's not
going the distance.

It haunts me. :oops:
I was the same. Think I rember saying that they shouldn't be in the same ring!! Oh dear :doh:

I thought Burns did beat Zlaticanin to be fair. He was better than I thought though. I was stunned after that knockdown!

Two of those picks not that bad really - Cleverly fought a good first half until the nose break and I felt Burns probably shaded that fight anyway despite looking poor

Kessler to dominate Ward & the super 6 as a whole.

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