I ask because it seems when certain fighters bring a guy up, its called cherrypicking but when others do it, its an ATG giving another ATG a chance.

Marquez was a cherry pick, Arum said that Cotto was stupid to pick Trout for a fight, to me this is pretty much confirmation that Manny doesn't fight the best. This is a guy who fought Margarito after the Mosley fight that alone tells me he loves picking up scraps, if the colors were reversed Pac fans would cheer for Floyd and call Pacquiao a coward.

i think oscar/pac was the worse cherry pick.... oscar was humiliated & quit.
pac actually looked great in his last fight, he was doing some good work until he got dropped.

marquez-pacquiao 4
Oscar was shot by then. manny was pass prime. Oscar didn't get knocked out cold in embarrassing fashion. marquez-pacquiao 4 destroyed some of manny's earning power imo
consider who they lost to
Oscar lost to a prime or even peak manny
manny lost to a pass prime Marquez

Definitely Oscar picking Manny was a bad, bad decision and what you would call cherry-picking. He thought the boxing world was his oyster because he was Oscar De La Hoya. He totally mis-judged the weight (not Manny's fault at all) and got the beating his ego deserved.
People are right. Fighting Marquez a fourth time was not a cherry-pick, but it was a last resort. The match they REALLY wanted, Miguel Cotto at 147lbs/150lbs was the cherry-pick. This was a guy they'd already destroyed at catchweight and had just lost to Mayweather. Why they wanted him as an opponent and why they needed another catchweight still remains a mystery to me. The fact that they didn't get the cherry-pick led to Marquez and a face full of canvas.
Both situations ended up like grenades going off in their faces, but Oscar was the cherry-picker and got what he deserved. Manny was simply bested by a guy he could never beat convincingly.
DLH/Pacquiao for me.
