Who has the most hand-picked resume?

[Left2body]

No way is it PBF from that group.

It has to be one of Frank Warren's boyz.
Calz didn't face a title holder till what his 40th fight against Lacey? Warren was handpicking guys for decades with Calz.

Hatton didn't face a champ till near his 40th fight either. He faced Tzu which is good but other than those 2 RECENT fights who?

PBF had an undefeated and very dangerous Corrales a dangerous Castillo in his first fight at 135lbs. He also had a highly regarded Hernandez. All much earlier in his career. Now he is CASHING IN on his name but he worked to his position earlier in his career. Would I like to see him fight the top WW's **** yeah, but he is not in the same category as Warrens boyz.

Read the opening post.

Fair enough.

I picked Joe Calzaghe, his resume says it all.

But Joe ended up fighting Kessler, while Mayweather refuses to fight Cotto.

As of the last couple of years, Mayweather is the worst cherry-picker.

Hatton used to do it, but he fought Floyd Mayweather in his last fight, and PBF may be a chicken but he's not a cherry.

[Xplosivo]

Agreed.

Well the way I see it is, and why I voted for Cotto.

In a publicized rematch with a foe from the Amateurs who clearly hit a ceiling and wasn't as good as his counterpart, he gained recognition (against Pinto). He fought a Judah that had already been exposed prior, and was by no means the same fighter he once was at 140. He fought a past his prime Mosley who really doesn't belong over 140 pounds to begin with............let's not even talk about the showcase fights:

Branco, Gomez, Urkal, Sosa, lol WTF? Those guys aren't even B class.

Are you talking about the last couple of years or career.......I'm speaking career wise.

Also PBF is not a cherry but he isn't really a risk either. If you look at the risk benefit for Hatton going into the PBF fight you'll see that it was risky. More like cash in.

Kessler was a risk for Calz but against as a body of work its not that impressive and as a whole is pretty hand picked.

Compare the risk some of the younger guys take.......Taylor fought, Hopkins twice (then top of the MW division and a top #3 p4p fighter), Winky before 30pro fights and also by the age of 27 and Spinks and Pavlik twice by age 29.

Pavlik, Miranda (as much a risk as Calz with Lacey) and Taylor twice all by 26.

PBF has Corrales, Castillo twice, Chavez, Hernandez all by 25.

I commend guys who take risk along the way more than guys who just do it at the end of there career's. Its easier to just take risk at the end since you are cashing out with the biggest fights possible but losses earlier in your career are harder.

Warren milks his fighters as much as possible then puts them in there with some competition........thats his MO.

If Taylor was managed by Warren after the Winky fight.....Warren would've could've had him fight sub top guys like Salem, Byron Mitchel, Bika till 40 something fights and still had his belt, and would've put him in against Pavlik in 2012.

Id say its uhhhhhhh ricky hatton, Alot of UK fighters fight the best in that country and so they think they are fighting high quality, but actualy uk fighters generaly just arent as good as fighters from other countries, NO DISRESPECT!

[Randall_Hopkirk]

lol who voted for Haye? He knocked his opponent out in his first title fight then 4 months later fought another world champion. A multiple world champion in just 22 fights.

Although I hate to say it, Calzaghe should be the clear winner of this poll, too many guys like Pudwill, Sheika, Ashira and manfredo on his resume whilst supposedly a "world champion".

[niceguy45]

dlh's resume is hand picked, but has fought the best of the best.....
if floyd would of done the same he would of fought;
margarito, cotto, williams, dlh, mosley, cintron, mayorga..........etc

[SkillspayBills]

Julio Ceaser Chavez of course.

[Dirt E Gomez]

It depends upon what answer you're looking for, but the "cherry picking" part, makes it a little more clear.

Hand-picked simply means they had a lot of options and their always got to decide.

Oscar has the most hand-picked resume of them all, but he didn't use it poorly as he continued to pick big fights.

If you're asking used their picking powers for evil, I lean towards Calzaghe. Although, you could debate he had no power until recently. Mayweather might've chosen a lot of his opponents, but he has a lot of very, very big names and big wins, unlikes Calzaghe.
