    Peoples idea of cherry picking is open to interpretation.
    But the way i see things is Floyd is the laughing stock of boxing, as he hardly fights. So for Floyd to shut people up hes got to do something amazing but fighting Guerrero isnt amazing. Its a good test for Floyd as Floyd isnt as good as some make out, but Guerrero is a nice name to pad out Floyds resume which certainly needs padding out, as its a little bare of late.

    Its definately a cherry pick though as arguably most would think Trout is more dangerous an opponent as would Canelo be, not to mention Sergio at 160. If you fight the people want you to fight, then its not a cherry pick. Not many people would have put Guerreros name forward as the most dangerous opponent though.

    Some accuse Pac of cherry picking,(but arent taken seriously) but when you fight as often as Pac you are afforded priviledges that people who like long layoffs and taking it easy arent given or entitled to.
    But come on, Pacs opponents are hardly cherry picks.

              You are wrong about Canelo wanting to fight Mayweather in September. Canelo made it very clear months ago that he wanted a big fight on May 4th 2013 and Mayweather was his first choice. His next picks were Cotto and Martinez. He wants to fight Mayweather most of all and the sooner the better. I don't think Mayweather wants to fight him. If he did he would be fighting Canelo on May 4th because that is a better paying fight for Money Mayweather than the Guerrero fight. As for Mayweather's fight with Guerrero being a cherry pick the fact is every time Mayweather or Pacquiao fight, no matter how tough the opponent, some will call it a cherry pick. I sure don't think Floyd fighting Guerrero is a cherry pick. If Floyd is going to stay at 147 then Guerrero is the fighter he should be fighting. Floyd is the WBC welterweight superchamp and Guerrero is the WBC regular welterweight champion and Floyd's mandatory defense. Unless Floyd is going to defend his WBA Jr. middleweight title that he won from Cotto last May for his September fight he needs to drop that title and give other good contenders a chance to win it.

                At 147 outside of Pac/JMM/Bradley, Guerrero's a solid fight.

                  Guerrero is not a cherry pick but he is definitely made for Floyd. Mayweather will go to town on this dirty aggressive fighter and make him wish he never tried any rough stuff on him.

                    But hes a lightweight.

                    Only on NSB.
                    Is that your analysis?

                    FACT: Berto was pretending to be Floyd for the first part of the fight because he has no defense.

                    FACT: Berto switched when he realized by way of several knock downs that his Floyd impersonation wasn't working.

                    FACT: Berto had no defense. It showed against Ortiz and now Guerrero.

                    FACT: Berto was PEDs free.

                    FACT: Berto had a very suspect resume prior to Ortiz and Guerrero.

                    Summary: Berto needs to improve on his defense. Guerrero exposed what we already knew about Berto from the Ortiz fight.

                      Unfortunately, that is the story of Floyd's boxing career of late.

                      For 3 years, we were hearing besides Manny, so and so is not a bad fight.
