Is 32yr old Manny Pacquiao cherrypicking a 40yr old Marquez then getting brutally knocked out the worst cherrypick gone wrong in boxing history?

    Someone that came to fight instead of that calculated ducking, dodging and running. Not to mention the calculated cherrypicking, ducking and dodging PRE-fight ...
    The hype is for people like you, the Villian vs the Good guy lets build up an image its all for you, now the boxing is where the reality is.

    Floyd probably beats Duran just Like Ray Leonard beat him by frustrating the sht out of him, De-Jesus beat Duran, Laing beat Duran, Camacho beat Duran, and don't see why Mayweather cant, you don't have to hate on great fighters because you don't like the style, boxing is not hopscotching, if you are not good enough with any style you lose and when at top level you lose bad, its not a game.

    You actually sound like Manny's first comments, he wouldn't stand still so I could hit him lol oh boo hoo, guess what that's the very core of boxing, hit and don't get hit and that is what Floyd mastered, the sweet science is real and when you can execute with precision against all types of styles while beating 23 WC and HOF fighters in a row its no easy feat, you think a runner can do that, nope you gotta hit while your not getting hit, runners in boxing get run over, if you think a runner can do what Floyd could do you have no idea about boxing and especially the classes and how there is only a fraction of a second between you and your senses.

      For one, Sweet science isn't per se about ducking and dodging. Take for example the infighting of Duran, that takes massive skill AND balls. Yes sure 23WC IN THE CURRENT ERA OF MADE UP BELTS, besides how many asterixes/catchweights were there .....

      The De Jesus fight was very close and Duran was the aggressor putting it on De Jesus the whole night. De Jesus edged due to the flash knock down in the first round in a NON Title fight. If anything that loss improved Duran as a fighter. He knocked De Jesus out twice after...

      Duran beat Leonard at his absolute physical peak,world champion, poster boy former gold medalist Olympian. Leonard beat Duran after he had been partying for months LOL............ you do acknowledge a slight difference there ? Duran will always have Leonards number because of that. There is not one fight on Floyd's resume that even comes close to that win, so there really is no comparison.

        What I know is Mayweather can compete with anyone his size throughout history, anyone, Im not saying wins Im saying he can beat anyone I give credit to all ATGs not just Floyd its an extremely special bunch of fighters, Id bet my house there is not a guy smaller than Floyd that could beat him/ Floyd would school DeJesus and would give Duran a frustrating night in the office, I don't think you realize that Mayweather was super tough in the trenches somehow I think his haters feel he is going to fold, lol Floyd is so hard to beat.

        I remember the hate for Cassius Clay, the runner the chicken blah blah, these were days where you had to go to the Bar to see the telecast nobody I knew had a TV lol.

          No way in this realm of reality will GGG KO/KD Nelo.
          I wouldn't be surprised if Nelo does it to him.
          Will GGG fans give Nelo credit or say he picked on an old man
          i wont give him any credit

            GGG can go back and beat up 3rd tier guys and look 27 again.
            GGG wasted his career.

              - - Boogers like U ain't even worth a matchbox much less a body bag.

              GGG cleared tens of millions in the ring. Also Millions more in endorsements than TBE TUE 51-0 Woman Beater ever did.

                    Floyd easiest fights in his career were Manny JMM and Canelo, that is an amazing feat that nobody has come close to.
                    Yet he gets beat down by Logan Paul smh

                      Might vaguely fit into the definition of a cherry pick(By that I mean it should expected for the younger fighter to squash the guy Long in the Tooth), but enough people thought Marquez won the 3rd fight that running it back again was warranted. The 3rd fight was voted robbery of the year by Ring Mag. Happy Marquez got that official W over Pac.
