Exactly 1 Year Ago, One of the Worst Cherrypick in Boxing History Happened. Canelo Cherrypicks a 154lb Charlo and Made Him Move Up 2 Wt Classes Instead of Fighting Benavidez or Bivol That Fans Wanted

Notvthe fight we wanter but theres been worse

Fury fighting chisora and ngannou back to back was a bad look

I remember Charlo fans kept mentioning about Canelo but then the fight happened. Today the fight is considered cherry pick by a Charlo fan no less.

I'm not even a fan Canelo because of his Mayweather style of cherrypicking opponents but this is not one of those fights. Fans wanted this fight.

Also this is one of the reason i don't want Crawford vs Canelo to happen. It is going to be one sided decision with Canelo winning the fight. Crawford will be there for the payday only.

It was 160lb charlo fans wanted to see NOT 154lber. Get it right

The only fight that makes sense for Canelo/Bivol II is at 168 ... The outcome will probably be the same but at least we'll have a mirage of "what-if-Canelo..." vibes ...

Far worse cherry picks in the last two or more decades of boxing. Floyd bringing Marquez up over two weight classes and then refusing to make the weight for the catch weight he agreed to. He also chose Maidana over Khan after fans voted for him to fight Khan. That was a cherry pick gone wrong because he got a gift in that first Maidana fight. Bruseles and Corley were blatant cherry picks. Even his fight with a 23 year old Canelo at a catchweight of 152 was a pick job. Rounding out his career with his last two wins against a shot Berto and 0-0 McGregor makes him one of the biggest cherry pickers in history.

Charlo wanted this fight. He was hiding out at 154 while ducking Lara, Hurd, and Tszyu. That said, Canelo had to duck Benavidez and other more deserving opponents to make this fight. It was a money grab fight.

Years past folks were begging Canelo to fight Charlo Now it’s a cherry pick lmao

Either way be happy for Charlo getting that pay day.

I have to refer back to everyone's favorite bad man, Mike Tyson

Tubbs, Smith, Berbick, Pinklon........ !!!!!
A who's who of Bumsville.
When Mike dispatched nepo contender Marvis Frazier, mugs couldn't get enough.

And Holy happened
And then Lennox happened (Lenny wasn't prime either !)

"...Holy was a dirty fighter, doe..." (The Bully was bullied ?!?!?!?)
" Mike was locked up, doe....past prime....."

Not sure who had more cherries, Mike or GGG
