If floyd fight marg it will be one of the defining fight of floyd mayweather jr.
If it was Mayweather vs Margarito, would you call it a cherrypick?

Well thats fair enough, but if hes using it in the context of thats what Pacqiauo has done, Pacqiauo didnt fight them at that stage either, although he still gets credit for all 3 from me especially Cotto.i think he's referring to when those guys were on top. from an overall resume stand point those guys were much tougher challenges than the 38 year old mosley that floyd fought. remember when floyd fake retired to avoid those guys? it's very convenient he comes back to fight marquez and mosley who are much easier fights than those guys ever would be.
I personally think Mosley is a bigger threat at 38 than Clottey when he fought Pacqiauo. Yeah thats your opinion and thats cool, but you still said Mosley would beat Floyd and you constantly said he was ducking him, you should atleast give him his props for fighting and beating Shane, a fight alot of people were calling Floyd out for, for not fighting.Comment

My logic is, you can't say Floyd has been tested at welterweight or that he's the best welterweight when the only welterweight he's ever fought is a past his prime Shane Mosley who had trouble against slick, technical boxers and movers even when he was in his prime.You think fighting Cotto over Shane would be a better option? Even though Cotto just came off the two biggest beatdowns of his career? Ok.
You think Clottey would be a better option than Shane? LOL Ok.
You think Margarito would be a better option than Shane? Even though Shane just annhiliated him and knocked him out? Ok.
You think fighting Shane isn't even a test? Ok.
You are literally using no logic what so ever, but whatever.
I can't understand your logic either.Comment

The logic you just explained is illogical, how can you possibly call him unstested at welterweight when he fought a guy who everyone under the sun said he was afraid of, and was the best option available at the time. Saying he doesnt have a strong WW resume due to this win is cool. To say he is untested at WW is moronic and illogical.My logic is, you can't say Floyd has been tested at welterweight or that he's the best welterweight when the only welterweight he's ever fought is a past his prime Shane Mosley who had trouble against slick, technical boxers and movers even when he was in his prime.

But because you fight those guys with conditions that greatly favor you its not cherry picking , and the two biggest guys are inhouse , where Foreman was too big to fight while he held a legit title ,,,,,you dont smell something strange here , then add all the controversy regarding being testing and inhouse seems logical as does the coincidence that Texas has the weakest Peds testing in the US , all coincidental and off course convenient .And that doesn't prove that Floyd has ever been tested at welterweight.
Maybe if he fought and beat Cotto, Clottey and Margarito, I could say Floyd doesn't cherry pick his opponents, and that he's the best welterweight of our time.
But as of now, I can't say it, because it would be a lie.
The only time Floyd has handicapped an opponent was against JMM and I think that was because of the layoff and the ties to Pac at the time , never has Floyd pulled a fighter down in weight , it hurts them way more than them going up , Pac has been the bigger fighter on the night in 96% of his career , Pacs not cherry picking just playing hype against good weight match making and Pac is a great fighter ,, but Floyd will school him when it goes down , with no chance of PEDS abuse or weight watching , a level playing field in all areas , Floyd will school him .Comment

i know i didn't say shane would beat floyd. i knew he had no chance. i think i only laughed at the appearance of floyd ducking mosley cause it was so hilarious how he could duck someone so old and faded. it looks like floyd only decided to fight mosley when he heard mosley was looking shot and getting beat up in preparation for the berto fight.Well thats fair enough, but if hes using it in the context of thats what Pacqiauo has done, Pacqiauo didnt fight them at that stage either, although he still gets credit for all 3 from me especially Cotto.

Yea I would call it a cherrypick a guy with 1-1 in his last 2 fights, was inactive for 1 year b4 his last fight and ate a lot of shots in his career... need more?
Flatfooted, no power,no defense, no speed, "got his ass whooped by an 37 year old Mosley", he's got like 6 losses, human punching bag, other than cotto he hasn't done ****, ohh and we don't know how good he is cause of plaster that dumb idiot didn't know aboutComment
