    I wouldn't say the selection of opponents in Mosley, Ortiz, Cotto, or Guerrero were cherry picks. I think Mayweather did a lot of cherry picking in his mid-career (most notably choosing to fight judah after he lost to Baldomir) and that label has stuck with him possibly because of all his long-layoffs.

      Really? Worse than Mitchell, Baldomir, Zab and Ortiz?

        don't think it's a cherry pick tbh it's the best Floyd can get @ 147

        But yeah Guerrero is a average fighter who beat sorry ass no punch resistance having Berto

        Fight does nothing to add to Floyd legacy

              :smilol: I expect Jesus Soto karrass to get a shot at floyd next. He already beat aydin all he has to do is beat Berto and he'll get his shot.

                floyd fan statement "it's not a cherry pick, guerrero is the best after this guy, that guy, and that other guy."

                  i think the winner of maidana-lopez deserves a shot at floyd because they both beat ortiz who beat the great berto.

                    for what's it worth though this is not a good fight like some people are saying. you can't find a single relevant advantage that guerrero has over floyd or even close to matching floyd's attributes for him to have a chance of beating floyd.

                    you can't point out guerrero's inside fighting that he displayed against berto to be his weapon against floyd. berto almost leaned on the ropes by himself in theat fight so that guerrero can pin him without having to cut the ring. that's not gonna happen with floyd at all. guerrero will eat floyd's counters coming in and even if he gets sucessful getting inside, floyd would just smoothers him with his shoulder roll.

                    he can't box with floyd too as floyd is the master of that. with floyd's reach, speed, good control of distance and ring generalship...what is there for guerrero to capitalize on?
                    Agreed!

                    I can't see how Guerrero could win, it's not a cherrypick, but not a good fight either, in my opinion.
