No they don't. Manny's biggest fights with the exception of Cotto included fighters Mayweathers beaten, and most often, with the exception of JMM, he'd beaten them before Pac did. Mosely by himself is a better boxer than everyone on Pacs resume.Floyd: Fought old De La Hoya after like 3 losses, Hatton above his best weight class of 140, Gatti was toast when he fought Floyd- destroyed from too many battles when he was prime, Baldomir was slower than a snail crossing the highway- champ yes but weakest guy to beat, JMM was 12 pounds heavier than he had ever been and still broke the contracted weight to have a further advantage.
Names on Pac's resume blow the names of Floyd's resume out of the water no contest here
Fact is, Pac isn't above criticism.Comment

Its been shown that Floyd never ducked Margarito, numerous times.He would have agreed to fight Marg if Arum would have guaranteed Floyd 10 million for Cotto and 20 million for Oscar.
And tzu ad a long layoff cause of injuries and never called out Floyd.ANd those other fighters you mention, Floyd did not duck them either.Comment

Thats got nothing to do with the thread, Yes Mayweather cherrypicked also and am sure over 1000 threads in the last 2 years would support that..
This is about Pacquiao and how he also cherrypicks but gets away with it because he's a likeable guy....Just how Mosley gets away with using drug while boxing because people like him.Comment

Most posters around here conveniently forget that bit of information. They ran around screaming Floyd was afraid to fight Mosely ignorant to the fact that Roach said Mosely was too good for Pac without first draining him. The double standards on these boards are nothing short of amazing.Comment

All the underlined is what we care about, Every boxer cherrypicks thats why they have a matchmaker to cherrypick.Comment

Both fighters have cherrypicked and fight opponents they know they can beat. Floyd is taking a big risk by fighting SSM and Pac fights guys who are washed up, past prime, weight drained, or guys he knows have slim to none chance of beating him.
