Almost perfect prediction complete with two upsets.

Hopkins dominated Joppy for a 12 round unanimous decision.
Spinks upset Mayorga with a 12 round majority decision. Should have been unanimous as he took Mayorga to school.
Ruiz beat Rahman in a bid for worst fight of the year. No kidding. Wheres the point deductions for holding.

Judah beat the "tomato can" with a first round KO.
Simms upset Garcia via a Fifth round KO.
Braithwaite destroyed Pineda via first round KO.

Oh how the somewhat mighty have fallen.

Course Lewis should thank his lucky stars that he is the only mediocre heavyweight alive with 1) his head screwed on straight (Tyson) 2) not ancient (Holyfield)

Talk about right place at the right time. Had Tyson not gone nuts, Lewis would have been a blip on the boxing radar.

lol! theres still alot of speculation about that whole Tyson raped Desiree thing. What most people dont take into account is the fact Tyson asked her for sex, she said she had her period, he said he dont care. Then she goes into the bathroom and takes out her tampon even though she did not want sex???. What happens after that is "he say she say" with a rape charge. One has to wonder.

But, yeah, if Tyson didnt lose his desire to win even before the rape charge, he wouldve beat Lewis and Holyfield.

Now the heavyweight division is anyones division, no real dominators out there. There is a kid named Dominique Guinn that looks to be a darn good prospect. He is a smaller heavyweight though in a rather large heavyweight era.
