I'm not sure if there is a word. Can anyone always be wrong in everything? Or are you looking more for a kind of nickname, e.g. Mr Wrong or as an adjective: the ever-erring Mr X.

Can you give a sentence with a blank to show how you think you want this word to be used?

If such a person is reliably always wrong, you may call them a contra-indicator. This is sometimes used in financial markets. You may not know what to do, but then you look at what the contra-indicator does, and you do the opposite for virtually guaranteed success.

But someone who has a tendency always to be wrong, or show bad judgment, is sometimes described as wrong-headed.

Unsound (adj.) feels like it might work.
Not dependably strong or solid.
Not physically or mentally healthy.
Not true or logically valid; fallacious: an unsound conclusion.
Depending on the context, I'd feel confident in the wrongness of someone described as unsound.
