RE: Your proudest/most accurate boxing predictions.
I don't feel like that many people claim to have picked Hopkins over Trinidad. I had a few hardcore boxing fan friends that thought it was a 50/50 fight but sited Hopkins' age as being the x-factor, if he would get old over night etc. Like you said far more people picked Trinidad so the odds didn't surprise me with that regard. I think the argument most made was that Hopkins wasn't going to be able to take his power. I remember from watching the Echols fight in the 10th round (I believe) Hopkins took a clean straight right hand to the jaw from Echols that stiffened his legs for a moment but Hopkins took it well. I remember thinking that if Hopkins stood up to that shot, it would be difficult for Trinidad to take him out even if he did get one or two clean ones through which with Hopkins' D certainly wouldn't be an easy feat.

I was on boxing forums even then, and hardly remember ANYONE picking Hopkins. I readily admit that I was pulling for Hopkins but thought Trinidad would win. Pleasantly surprised.

RE: Your proudest/most accurate boxing predictions.
I remember pulling for B-Hop hardcore but I thought Trinidad was going to KO him at some point. I was in full patriotic mode when they fought. I was a senior in High School and my mindset was fuck anyone who wasn't american at the time.
