Why do people think Manny cherry picked Oscar

[victorythagr8]

when it was Oscar who ducked Margarito and went after Manny hard. Oscar thought fighting the p4p king who only had 1 fight over 130 would be an easy win. Nobody but a select few thought that Pacquaio had a chance in that fight.

[Shattered Jaw]

Noone thinks that. It was Oscar who cherry picked Manny.

Manny shouldn't have had a chance but noone realised how dead Oscar would be on the night. It's all very well making predictions but you have to base them on previous information - noone predicted Oscar coming in at 145 and weighing 147 on fight night, what a joke that was. He messed up bad - full credit to Manny for delivering the beating.

They cherry picked each other; it was a huge money fight both thought they could win.

Totally agree with the thread. A lot of people use the Oscar fight as proof of Manny being a cherry picker when it was Oscar has always decided when, where, and under what conditions he fights. He wanted Manny, and Manny jumped on the opportunity.

Let's see...

Oscar was 36 years old, he only fought once a year which means he only trained 3 months out of a year, always had trouble against southpaws, and was gonna be weight drained come fight night.

yeah Pacman had huge disadvantages, right?
