Who's cherry picks the most.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

I have.

But cherrypicking good opponents as opposed to bad opponents?

The bad clearly takes it.

The HW division is quite weak so it's not like Vitali can create great opponents, I don't think you can say he's avoided anyone except maybe Haye in the past year.

Cherry picking is when there are clearly better fights available and you choose easier ones.

Mayweather and Pacquaio should have fought each other but they both chose to cherry pick other opponents to fleece the public for money. Both of them also could have fought Sergio Martinez.

As for Sergio, he complained about those two not fighting him whilst fighting domestic level fighters at 160 when he could have fought the likes of Pirog and Golovkin.

I agree, but even the ones he faced were far inferior to the ones he could have faced.

With regards to Mayweather first of all, he's been getting crap for not fighting the ones he should when he should fight them. Go back and look at the amount of people who said he'd never fight Oscar, then Hatton, then Mosley, then Canelo... I just think it's ridiculous. He fights top notch opponents and that is more than what you can say for a lot of others.

Like who????

Like who????

Like when he faced Charr, he could have faced Haye. Or when he faced Chisora he could have faced Haye. He could also have faced Chagaev in 2009 instead of Kevin Johnson.

Yeah, Hatton looked like an absolute killer at WW.

Johnson and Charr were mandatory challengers. Chagaev? Hadn't he just come off being pummelled by Wladimir? How would that have been a viable fight? As for the Haye situation, Haye was offered the fight but chose to face Chisora instead.

When was the last time Mayweather fought a legit welterweight in his prime?

There's my answer.

When was the first time Pacquiao fought a legit welterweight in his prime?

Lol @ charr being a mandatory. As if. Dont remember if Johnson was. With regards to Chagaev, I meant before he faced Wlad. Why should Wlad fight the legitimate guys and Vitali get the leftovers?

No. Haye agreed to the fight in December 2011, but Vitali chose to fight Chisora, hence the whole post presser thing came about. He also agreed to fight Vitali in Moscow, but Vitali wanted him to drop out of the Chisora fight.

Yeah, Hatton looked like an absolute killer at WW.

Regardless, people still said Floyd wouldn't fight him.
