Cherry picks gone wrong

Good point, it was simply King spreading the Tyson legend to japan...didnt work out lol but upset of the century is still ali v foreman yes ali did pull that one off...i was watching the fight, and still didn't think he could pull it off, after the 3rd or 4th round...lol

The biggest cherrypick, gone wrong, is Mike Tyson/Buster Douglas in 1990 in Japan, where Mike Tyson was building a huge following, and Buster Douglas, was a 42-1 underdog, and was cherrypicked by Don King himself, to make Tyson look good, and the entire stadium, was pindrop quiet, as they watched Buster Douglas, systematically dismantle Mike Tyson. It was the upset of the century. Good point, it was simply King spreading the Tyson legend to japan...didnt work out lol but upset of the century is still ali v foreman

How could the first one possibly be a cherry pick it was on two weeks notice it wasn't a cherry pick DLH Vs Pacquiao and Mayweather they were cherry picks.

oh so you are saying floyd waits until bad/over the hill fighters score their career best wins and then he fights them. ok yes i agree. No because Algeri wasnt Pac's best opponent. Berto and Pac are TWO opponents fam. Floyd doesnt face bad or over the hill opponents. He faces giants, young men half his age and twice his size, that he shouldnt even be able to beat, and humiliates them!

Quillin Lee is a terrible example of a cherry pick. I don't know if I'd consider Jacobs Pirog a cherry pick but perhaps I have some hindsight bias here. Ali-Spinks was not a cherry pick, though it was an upset.

When the WBO's Pres gets pointed out that **** made me laugh.

No one gonna mention BHops - Joe Smith Jr? Hopkins was clearly hoping for someone just credible enough to make a good fight on paper but not seasoned enough to appear to be a serious threat. He almost surely figured that Joe Smith's win over Fonfara was a fluke and that he wasn't a legit contender. EDIT: Well the video does have Fonfara-Smith Jr, which was a better example anyway

You lying moron LOL Judah is not a meaningful opponent on Floyd's resume. Floyd's resume was topped off when he came back from 2009 up until his retirement. Only bad opponents were Berto was was a going away fight, and Pac was coming off a decent-at best win, but this was simply a fight that had to be made. I dont look at it as his best opponent. oh so you are saying floyd waits until bad/over the hill fighters score their career best wins and then he fights them. ok yes i agree.

that's how you beat a fighter with that fundamental shoulder roll style like Floyd: youtube ali vs. archie moore, jones vs. toney, srl vs. Floyd sr. and you will see how they just left the head alone, hit those guys all over their body, opened up the holes in their defense, and went to work... yep the philly shell isn't difficult to figure out, throw punches, throw them hard and throw lots oft hem

Exactly. It went spectacularly wrong and although I feel Mayweather stole enough rounds to win the fight it was Maidana that came out of there the true winner. He really hurt lil boy floy multiple times and exposed just how limited Mayweather is to volume punchers. that's how you beat a fighter with that fundamental shoulder roll style like Floyd: youtube ali vs. archie moore, jones vs. toney, srl vs. Floyd sr. and you will see how they just left the head alone, hit those guys all over their body, opened up the holes in their defense, and went to work...

Not sure he hurt Floyd multiple times but his awkwardness definitely threw off Floyd's anticipation on defense. Kind of hard to expose a 37 year old undefeated fighter though. well the last time Floyd was in trouble was against Oscar and Hatton, where some rounds were close and physically taxing but both were world class operators. Maidana was at best fringe world level and he connected with floyd regularly. A so called defensive genius should not be so tested by a b level fighter.

Danny Garcia vs the salsa dancer guy.....cherry pick and easy win but completely made him look like a loser.

yeah like judah! You lying moron LOL Judah is not a meaningful opponent on Floyd's resume. Floyd's resume was topped off when he came back from 2009 up until his retirement.

I thought that was a blatant cherry pick Exactly.

The only poll that mattered was the Mayweaher official poll on Mayweaher' own site. He asked teh question, who should I ifght. Khan won at 55% or something. Mayweather then rubbished his own poll and said he would use some other poll on which Maidana had won (EPSN possibly). Thas a dam ncherry pick, this too after I actively bigged Mayweather up for posting a poll and letting the fans decide lol I thought that was a blatant cherry pick

Delahoya vs Little Pacquaio

What I said had absolutely nothing to do with Mayweather. So I have no idea why you brought him up oops you were talkin about broner v maidana, i thought may v maidana. Brought him up cos I was replying to someone else who had brought that up. My bad, posted on the wrong one.
