Look at all these "experts" predicting the outcome of the Pacquiao versus De La Hoya "Dream Fight". It's like predicting how much damage an upcoming typhoon will inflict. I guess that it's just their idea of fun.
I particularly dislike "experts" who have never even stepped on a boxing ring. Allow me to extend an old saying, "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can do neither, predict."
How about this idea: Every time an "expert" announces his prediction to the general public, he should plunk down a significant amount of cash on a special betting table. If he's correct, he gets to keep his money. If he's wrong, his money will go to a local charity. That'll take care of the wannabes.
I sure hope that the match will live up to all the hype. Pride, glory, and money are at stake (not necessarily in that order of importance). And I have another wish: I hope that whoever loses the fight will accept the result like a man. No excuses ("I'm not used to these lighter boxing gloves.", "I'm not comfortable with my new weight", etc) please!
