Is Mayweather's resume hand-picked?

[Fox McCloud]

I stopped reading after seeing the poll offerings. It's clear youre a hater.

Biased thread.
Make an objective one and maybe people will participate.

I don't know what you both see that is so biased in the poll...

I picked option #2, because he generally does fight the best, but sometimes, such as in the case of fighting Oscar against instead of Cotto, he does handpick opponents.

Fighting for money only clearly is handpicking by the way, because it is not fighting the best out there... it can be, but skills is not why he would pick a certain opponent, it is money, pure and simple.

Well NSB is serious business.

I'd appreciate if everyone took it more seriously from now on.

Its the tone of the thread starter in which you can tell he is bias. Ask him, I bet he would tell you he really isnt a fan of Floyd. But you dont have to be to honestly talk about a fighter. In can be said every single fighter has handpicked opponents. Thats why they have promoters and matchmakers.

It's true that I'm not a fan of Floyd, but I am obviously an avid boxing fan. There are some great fights that could be made at welterweight, especially Cotto vs. Mayweather. I'm disappointed those fights are not happening.

It's not just Floyd, Williams and Cotto could be fighting each other instead of their own hand-picked opponents.

[Bhopreign]

One reason I like Floyd is that he is smart enough to not listen to reporters and writers printing stuff. He could easily be like alot of past greats who read stuff and took fights and regretted it on the losing end trying to please people, then when they get knocked out people laugh at them. Floyd is smarter than that, its his choice to fight who he wants to fight. If I were him Id fight who made the most money and who I thought Id beat, thats the whole reason for fighting. Makes no sense trying to please fans, when you get knocked out many arnt your fans anymore, besides look at the risk. He has a father and uncle to remind him every day that he doesnt want to end up talking like them. Look at the memories Gatti gave people, at what cost though? He sounds punchy, fan's memories mean nothing, its just talk around the water cooler, while Gatti probably wakes up with pains and could feel mental effects for the rest of his life, to please fans, sick.
