    How can you blame today's boxers for cherry picking?

    We as fans must demand more from boxers. When Manny Pacquiao can fight a guy like Margarito(given his current state, and the ridiculous nature of that fight) and get praised as BEING BETTER THAN ROBERTO DURAN for beating Margarito how can you blame him for cherry picking? I give credit where credit is due, I'm not going to praise bull ishhh! That disgraceful fight did over 1 million buys Watch how much Pac vs Mosley will sell if that goes down, there's no way in hell I'd buy that fight. I'd buy Alexander vs Bradley before Pac vs Mosley everyday of the week. If you keep buying and supporting crappy fights you'll continue to get crappy fights. Mayweather Marquez probably shouldn't have been on PPV either.

    Quite frankly, since the PBF fight isn't happening, Pac's earned the right to a stay busy/tuneup fight. Only problem with it is they'd try to push a Mosley fight as a serious one, which is bollocks.

    On the whole, every fighter has a soft fight or 2 even after they reach the top level. It's the nature of the game. As long as they clean up afterward we really can't complain.

        This is true

        Plus everyone wants him to fight boxing best every single fight even if they are not in his division such as sergio

        Marg at 150 was more dangerous then Berto, Bradley and JMM combined. People love to look at the rankings and do not focus on a fighters actual chance of beating Pac. And Marg had a bigger chance and would have been a bigger favorite to beat Pac then anyone else

              MAN PELEASE! It's because of idiots like you that ****** fights like this go down. If Margarito was a REAL threat Pac NEVER would have fought him, PERIOD!

                You're right

                I should only buy fights like Floyd-JMM. Those competetitive fights are what boxing is about

                Oh BTW suck a ****
