More disastrous cherry pick? Pacman/Oscar or Pacman/Marquez.

[GoldSugar]

Both were pretty bad but oscar hadn't been a P4P guy for years and Pac was top 3 at least consistently and got one punch KO'd.

That was a far worse loss.

[FeFist]

Oscar cherry picking Pacquiao and it is not even close. I'd say Pacquiao cherry picked Marquez in their third fight but that didn't end in a brutal beat down, Oscar got sodomized. Pacquiao got fucked up in his fourth fight but I wouldn't call that a cherry pick.

[WESS]

Due to the history of Pac never being able to beat JMM convincingly, I would have to say Oscar cherry picking Manny. We know Pac was hoping to “out due” Mayweather and that back fired badly (both times) but I think Oscar cherry picking Manny and quitting in his corner was worse.

Both were s**t fights no matter how you look at it, from either fighters point of view, except maybe Marquez.

[ADP02]

How can Manny vs Marquez be considered a cherry pick when the first 3 were close fights? There were many who gave Marquez a decent chance of winning some also picked by KO.

Almost everyone thought that Oscar picking on Manny was a joke. Just check out some of the interviews such as the one from uncle Roger Mayweather .... they didn't even call it a fight.

He's talking about Pac-JMM III I believe. That was a bad cherry pick. I mean, the only thing Marquez had ever done at WW was lose a shut out to Mayweather, it wasn't a legit fight at all.

It clearly says "4" on the poll.

My bad, both weren't very good fights really, 3 or 4. I mean he took 3, which was horrible. And than the 4th was redundant, but I guess I could see why he had to take that fight, since he was embarrassed by what happened in November 2011 in the 3rd fight.

[ИATAS]

Pac arguably lost the 3rd Marquez fight so I don't see how in the world choosing to fight him again was a cherry pick.

As for the 3rd fight, when people on NSB were going crazy before the third fight saying Pac was going to KO Marquez, he was cherry picking a "small" marquez and all that I was shaking my head. Marquez would always be a tough fight for Pacquiao, always, and that should be known as fact by now.

The easiest fight that Pac could have made was rematching Timothy Bradley who was/is no threat to Pac whatsoever. That would have been the safe easy fight.

[ELHURACAN58]

If Marquez was meant to be a cherrypick, I wouldnt want to know who Pacquiao considers a worthy opponent.

De La Hoya-Pacquiao could be cherrypick depending on how you define the word. If by cherrypick you mean, facing a guy you are meant to beat then losing to him kickstarting what ends up being an awesome career for the guy, then yes its a cherrypick.
