    Name Floyds last 5 fights that are "Non Cherry Picks" IYO

    Who would you NOT complain about for his last 5 fights?

    Canelo is the only real option I see as a non cherry pick, but I can also still see people using the "Green" excuse in case of a schooling.
    What you guys think?

    Last time Floyd cherry picked an opponent was Marquez, and he was coming off a two year layoff, that was actually a tune up too. Funny how the haters didn't take that into consideration. So far he's fought who he was suppose to. When you say cherry pick, I'm guessing an opponent who Mayweather wouldn't easily slice through, in that case, and judging by the way he moved his last fight, the fact that his demeanor as a fighter has somewhat changed with Sr in his corner, I guess nobody. I expect Mayweather to box Canelo, and afterwards a lot of "Mayweather was running" comments.

        I would say Marquez and that's pretty much it even though Marquez was the challenger. The 147 division died when Mosley lost to Floyd. Then there were only 2 fighters left which was Manny and Floyd since Mosley was the one to KO Margarito. So he either had to go up or down. That Manny fight probably was never going to happen. These two love feeding off each others name.

            Last five that werent cherry-picked.

            Hard to say. He came back from a 2 year layoff and beat reigning lightweight and welterwight champs and maybe lost 3 rounds tops. Came back after another layoff and ko'd ortiz, then beat cotto up in weight, took a year off and beat ghost who was his #1 contender

            Its not so much that the guys he fights are cherrypicks.

            ITS THE GUYS HE DOESNT FIGHT, THAT TELL THE STORY OF FLOYD

                Great points, but the only guys I wanted Floyd to fight were P Will & Kostya.
                To that point P Will was at best "An eye test threat", hadn't really fought or beat anybody.
                And Kos at the time, I remember Floyd wanting that fight (But it never happend for whatever reason)

                I'm done with the whole "Floyd ducked or was cared of Manny" drama, to this point we all should know Bob Arum was never gonna let it happen.

                  The only one that wasnt was Cotto, and even he was way past his use by date. The next one will probably be the worst of the lot(Alexgrunter).

                    Im not hating on floyd. I said it was hard to say who was cherrypick.

                    In my view his cherrypicks were shambra and henry brusles and gatti

                    I dont think you can call cherrypicking when you fight the lightweight champ and welter champ, ortiz had a belt and floyd was coming off another long layoff, cotto was a champ and floyd fought him at cotto's preferred weight, Ghost was #1 contender and looked like a beast heading into the fight.
                    Floyd makes everything look so easy

                    Floyd should get credit for laying waste to a bunch of top world class level

                    But floyd should get some flack for the guys he didnt fight as well
