Yes, boxing analyst Max Kellerman has frequently accused Floyd Mayweather Jr. of "cherry-picking" opponents, especially in the latter stages of his career, suggesting he strategically chose fights against favored opponents or at convenient weight classes, rather than taking on the most dangerous challenges, a criticism often raised in debates comparing Mayweather's legacy to Manny Pacquiao's. Key Points of Kellerman's Criticism:
Selective Matchmaking: Kellerman points out Mayweather's tendency to pick opponents at the right time in their careers or in weight classes where Mayweather had a significant advantage, rather than facing top fighters at their peak.
Legacy Debate: He often contrasts Mayweather's calculated choices with Pacquiao's more challenging path, arguing that Pacquiao's willingness to move up in weight and fight dangerous opponents makes him more accomplished.
"A-Side" Advantage: Kellerman acknowledges that being the "A-side" fighter allows for opponent selection, but argues Mayweather used this power excessively to avoid perceived threats, even when they called him out.
Bruh
Pac is the King of cherries
Thos is why you Pac fiends hate naming names.
Maidana would have a better WW record than Pac if he had that same shltty line up.
Floyd never beat anyone Pac lost to so floyds got nothing to boast about. All common big oppenents Pac beat more dominant than Floyd.
Floyd hasnt got as many wins against differing opponents that Pac has. Sure Floyd dont need to prove he can beat every win Pac has in the bag. But surely Floyd can fight toughest available if at all possible and fight Spence, thurman, bradley, bud. Floyd didnt want to do that so what does floyd want to do? What was he in the sport for? He didnt want to fight the people that people wanted him to fight. So why would anyone give Floyd credit?
Sure Floyd should get some credit but does it have to be what you want? He didnt give people what they want? So why give floyd what he wants?
May was never KTFO
May never lost
May didn't need a bunch of rematches
May never ran away from RANDOM BLOOD tests
