Floyd cherry picks video proof

[Prime 407]

Go to 12:00 and you will see how he came to choosing Guerrero and how he used the Cotto, Marquez and Casamayor fights to convince himself that he couldn't lose to him.

Now, I think Floyd is a great fighter, the best in the game today and one of the best of all time, but I do think his biggest concern in boxing is not losing his 0.

For me, a great fighter is defined not only by his record, but by who he has fought. The greats pushed themselves, like Ali, Leonard, Chavez and Duran. They faced very tough competition and overcame it.

Floyd was asked about how he would do vs the greats and he kind of avoided the question saying he's in this era, not the one's of the past. I understand what he is saying but at the same time I think he's also avoided to fight certain guys at their peak.

I'm not saying he would have lost but how much better of a fight it would have been let's say Mayweather vs Margarito at 147 prime instead of Baldomir. Or Oscar and Mosley at an earlier time?

Of course the fight we all wanted, the Pac fight when Pac was destroying fighters.

I have all the respect in the world for Floyd but this to me proves that he thinks about the risk and doesn't embrace it. He should see a mountain and want to climb it, not how to get around it in the easiest way.

Just my two cents.

Only confirms what we already know, he sits down with his crew, watches tapes and figures out who is the easiest opposition that looks the best on paper and they go with that guy. It's the simplest equation for making money and keeping that invincible persona.

More people would give Floyd credit if he took hard fights that he wasn't sure of if he himself could beat the guy.

And what fight exactly do you think Floyd doesn't think he could win? For that matter, what boxer do you think takes a fight and thinks...dam I have no chance of winning this.

People want to make it sound like if Floyd didn't "cherry pick", he'd of lost like half his fights. Regardless of who Floyd is fighting, he's the favourite. There's nobody out there better. Because of that, EVERY fight is a cherry pick.

as skillful as floyd is , he is definitely the BIGGEST cherrypicker of all time , bar none....even his honest fans know this ....

floyd is an extremely skilled boxer but it's obvious that he wont take a fight where the chances of him losing are high

[check hook]

So which fights aren't a cherry pick??? Who should he have fought apart from MP (MP fault anyway) that he should have since the ODLH fight??

I'll wait.

Who's Manny fighing next? Rios then Alvarado

Give me a break!!!!! These threads are ridiculous. It's the matchmaker at TR who picks Manny's fights, does that mean he's cherry picking??

The chances of him losing many of his fights was deemed high before they happened. Who should he fight at 40 or 47 where his chances are low?

These threads are hypocrisy at it's finest.

Welcome to the suck,.........I would never pay to see that clown run

[Kuyukut]

Non-drug treatments for chronic insomnia now include all DVD tapes of Floyd fights that is cleared by the FDA and endorsed by the nation's top doctors.

Thank you Floyd for all your boring fights.

[Ragnar Lothbrok]

come on, this is the same boxer who literally said he was a rich coward on video:




and literally used the word self preservation as one of the reasons not to fight pacquiao:



tell us something we dont already know.

Floyd chooses all his opponents.......wow what breaking news. Who could he have chose for May 4th that would have been better at the time???

And when Floyd fights and beats Canelo.....
