As for cherry picking, David Diaz was the epitome of cherry picking. Fighting no one at 140 but Hatton was cherry picking. And choosing Cotto over Mosley--when everyone regarded Mosley as the bigger threat (hello! It's too early to try to change history) was cherry picking.
As far as Cotto vs Shane, I can see why you would say that. A very good argument could be made on Shane's behalf but at the same time there would have always been those select few that would have asked "Why did Pac fight a guy who lost to Cotto".
Not saying you would have, but to fight either over the other in my book isn't that big of a deal because I see them as being on the same level, at that (especially considering Cotto was out boxing Tony and the way that whole hand wrap scandal unfolded). I don't know I guess we can agree to disagree on that one, because we could debate that for hours...lol

Originally posted by O.S.I.R.I.S View PostI agree it's not the same thing (as far as comparing it to Armstrong) but at the same time a fighter can only control what is in front of him. Hatton was the best guy at 140. No way could anybody make an arguement that Bradley or Ortiz were more deserving to be ranked higher otherwise they would have been the lineal/ring champ.
As far as Cotto & Molsey. Cotto beat Mosley regardless of when it happened an was on a better run at WW than Shane. Shane did beat Marg...so that is why I say it's debatable as to who is better. People say Cotto got the **** beat out of him by Tony, but Honestly Shane got crushed by Forrest twice at WW.

Originally posted by California Love View PostPac's best win was against MAB and that was years ago.
He beat a damage goods fighter in Cotto, weight drained past prime DLH, overrated and shot Hatton, B-level fighter in Clottey who has no offense, etc. Got schooled by JMM and EK. Beat a shot and weight drained EK.
A win over a prime Pac is better than another fighter Manny beat.
Wins over a prime Pac, prime Martinez, very good fighter in Mosley, and someone like Berto/Williams would make his resume a lot better.
