Should the Networks keep allowing for Hopkins and Andre Ward to cherry-pick?

[HangOver]

It's not coincidence that these two always try to avoid the most skillful fighters out there. They cherry pick these one dimensional fighters who just come forward and have poor side to side movements. Tell me I'm wrong? Why hasn't Hopkins/Ward or Ward/Dirrell happened then?

I don't want to hear these bull**** excuses about how these fighters have too much respect for each other, this is a business and we pay to see the best fight the best do we not? Isn't anyone else sick of the best avoiding the best?

Yeah dude, you're wrong. As wrong as can be.

Kessler and Froch are cherry picks? They're the 2nd and 3rd best 168lb fights in the world.

Dawson and Cloud are cherry picks? They're the 2nd and 3rd highest rated 175lb fighters in the world.

Apparently you didnt get the memo about Andre Dirrell pulling out of the Super Six because he didn't want to fight Ward.

You need to learn what the word "cherry pick" means. You also apparently need to do a lot of research about boxing as well.

When were Froch and Kessler considered great Skillful fighters? Was that when Calzaghe was still fighting? So it's okay for Andre Ward and Andre Dirrell to duck each other, and for Hopkins to keep fighting all the Kelly Pavlik's of the World?

Before cloud Hopkins fought Dawson and pascal twice so where's the cherry pick in that?

And ward went from the super six to chad Dawson ? And was fighting Kelly pavlik next? So wtf are you talking about

Did anyone even pick Cloud to beat Hopkins last night other than these so called Experts? I picked Hopkins to beat Cloud, and Pascal and he did. They were easy fights to pick. I mean Jesus Christ, Cloud lost to Campillo for christ sakes. Hopkins basically fought a guy who lost his last fight and only won because Don King paid off the judges.

All I'm asking for is for Hopkins, Ward, and Dirrell to fight each other.

I'm signing out from here, I see the average IQ is still low on boxingscene's forum. I want to see the best fight the best, not fighters who come straight forward get picked apart. I want to see skill vs skill not skill vs cherry picked brawlers.

That doesn't change the fact that Cloud was the champion.

Your opinion of the fight does not alter reality.

Apparently a 48 year old coming off a loss challenging a champion in his prime for the title is a cherry pick for the old man. I guess ya learn something new every day.

When chalzaghe was still relevant ward had been pro for maybe what 4 years.
Not mention zags was fighting at LHW in that time frame so it wouldn't have mattered.

This has to be a troll thread, surely no one can be this ******.

But he's fought the all of the top 3 LHW 2 of them twice where's cherry picking in that? Isn't that the best fighting the best?
