How are 2005 predictions are going so far
Posted: 05 Jun 2005, 15:23
End of 2004 a couple of threads came up on predictions for the year ahead. Just discovered the search tool for the forum, so I've used it to track it down to see who should be made boxingpredictions.net emeritus champion.
NB only found one thread so far, so I apologise for it being stujones' topheavy as he was the one who started it. And the link cannibal brought up on this thread is broken. For me at least. Anyway, link then editied highlights:
http://www.boxrec.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... tions+2005
Stujones>>>"I predict Skelton vs Williams will happen in 2005"
"Johnny Nelson vs Enzo Maccrinelli will be part of big SN show" Still a distinct possibility, but not yet. (Stu also blabs on about the Cat, who has sadly been all quiet so far into 2005)
"Clinton Woods will fight for the IBF title (vs Hoye) as for a prediction, I don't know. Joe Calzaghe vs Clinton Woods will happen if he wins."
"Peter Oboh will continue to reign as British champ, but will not come close to securing a big fight (that his talent deserves)."
"I think a couple of big domestic dust ups will happen here - Reid vs Froch, and I think Brian Magee might secure a surprise world title title (one of the four main organisations). I can also see Glenn Cateley returning to the ring and may have a fight against one of the three men mentioned above " In the right ball park.
Steve689>>>"I really hope Ricky Hatton gets a major title shot but i predict he won't" Plays smart and still fucks up!
bigped>>>> "Arthur vs Dochery will be a cracker. Arthur will prevail i feel then him and gomez will be another classic with again arthur coming out and ending gomez as a force"
TheGoods>>>"Hunter v Pickering. Got a semi on just thinking about it..." Hope you can keep it up for a long time
joshfg>>>> "David Haye vs Mark Hobson" This a good pick out of what was hopes rather than predictions, so we'll let 'em off this once.
Chambers>>>>"A proper World Champion (or 2) and some good domestic tearups especially in the Cruisers will do me for 2005" Part A happened last night, and ask josh above when B is happening.
Manos de Oro>>>>"Calzaghe continuing a completely meaningless career against sub-standard opposition" 100%
"Fraudley Harrison is at the point where he has to gamble, this year will make or break him" Shit he's good this guy. Next one for the car...
"Danny Williams to come back versus a 'tough' American pseudo-journeyman opponent in the summer/latter half of year"
IDIOT! Everyone knew he'd be Hungarian
"Scott Harrison will do well to remain drifting on the outskirts of World Championship class like he's been doing. He should have had a big fight by the years end - if not he can be categorised with Calzaghe" Well, you've redeemed yourself here IMO, altho I removed 'and Hatton' from the end of the scentence
glittermonkey>>>> (he's not been around for ages) "My prediction for the forum is that boxrec will continue the (at first) mildly amusing, but now not so, trend of placing the word "allegedly" before the words Frank and Warren. It’ll continue to plague all members who wish to write in coherent sentences throughout the year." Another idiot. It will never cease to be funny.
ABAboxing>>>>"Im thinking of having a world heavyweight title shot! Will have to wait until the mince pies have all gone!!!!" (In the end, ABA didn't wait for the pies to go. He beat Ruiz then failed a drugs test!)
Max Molyneux>>>> "I hope Danny William's fights some of the top ten guys in the Wbc then get a title shot in 2006" Eh, Skelton's #14 by the WBO I think. The Hungarian's probably in the WBU rankings.
So, there we go, for now at least. Ah, memeries. So young and innocent. One thing especially I noticed from this is how much mention was made of the cruiser div in december and how quiet it's been so far this year. Haye-Hobson aside, there's been no Cat, no Nelson, a stroll for enzo to make sure he can still move. Is anything going to happen in this div. by the end of the year?
