Cotto over Mosley Bika over Codrington Pavlik over Taylor Pavlik over Miranda Pacquiao over Barrera JMM over Barrera Diaz over Morales Diaz over Freitas Lewis over Holyfield Lewis over Tyson Trinidad over Vargas Vazquez over Marquez II So fuck you Sly for picking a few isolated incidences of my wring picks in an effort to suggest I can't pick fights at all.
few and far between. but go ahead and pat yourself on the back, barry horrowitz. don't forget margarito over johnson
so the inclusion of Lewis-Holy says this list goes back to at least 1999. Twelve correct predictions in eight years. Well done, Double. You're knocking on the door of 2 correct/year average :bears:
I had Tyson over Slammin Sammy Scaff in '85, and I went one better for the Irish Jameson fight later that year!!!
here's some more, just in case there's still people out there who "don't" think Sly is full of shit: Corrales/Freitas Freitas/Casa Forrest/Mosley Marquez/Austin Trinidad/Mayorga Mormeck/Bell II Mormeck/Braithwaite Gonzalez/Letterlough And Neil, this isn't patting myself on the back, it's defending myself against a forum-wide attack you grouchy prick.
more a reflection of the ones i'm able to recall than a lack of correct picks, you band-wagon bitch. you're record isn't exactly impeccable. you just happen to not be the victim of a forum-wide assault.
Double, you opened yourself up to this, so don't use insults and name-calling now to defend yourself. You've had good calls, I remember. You're just way TOO VOCAL in your bad ones. :: And you pick with your heart often. It's ok to do that once in a while (I admit I did for Calz-Kessler at the end of the day)....but you do it alot. Peace.
Donny, usually a bonafide expert, was simply smitten with the Scandinavian hunk Kessler. Donny simply couldn't get past his big Danish biceps, smooth Danish face and soft smile. Sadly this led to him picking Kessler over Calzaghe. I forgive him.
Seriously though let's hear it for Double, we all underestimated him. He got TWELVE predictions right in eight years. That's one and a half fights right a year, something that simply passed me by, I had no idea. :bears:
I too was fooled by his incredible 1-2 and his great uppercuts... I didn't expect Joe to take his punches that well... Is it forgivable too?
Some of the best ones I ever got right 1. Tyson vs Lewis. 2. Hopkins-Trinidad 3. Hatton-Tszyu 4. Lacy-Calzaghe 5. Calzaghe-Kessler 6. Tszyu-Judah {easy} 7. Oscar-Mayorga {easy easy} 8.Lewis-Rahman I 9.Wlad-Peter 10.Vitali-Sanders. 11. Mayweather-Corralles
Ban his ass Jake, he is providing waaaay too much resistance, its only a matter of time before he racially insults someone. Quia Timet Time!!!
i haven't come close to listing them all. i'm simply refuting the claim by Sly-dick Dsmon-dick that I can't pick "any" fights correctly. I have more. And if I must, I'll keep em coming. And bear in mind, there's roughly 6 "big" fights a years.
Tszyu over Mitchell I&II Castillo over Corrales II Castillo over Julio Diaz (Valdosta picked Diaz :laughing: ) Juan Diaz vs. Freitas
:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: HEY! The scenario was plausible...and admit in the first 6 rounds, you were worried! REMATCH!!! :crafty: Let me be clear: I thought Kessler could win, definitely. And I picked him and stuck to it. In the days leading up to the fight, though, I felt more and more that Calzaghe could win....but I stuck with Kessler. That's more what I was referring to...not so much that my liking of Kessler lead me to pick him. I had it a bit closer than most, though...but I don't remember the consensus scores for that fight. Peace.
