    ..........

    rankings mean sweet all in boxing dude, they are manipulated to suit promoters and organizations to make pay cheques

    ortiz and guerrero were awful fights that were cherry picked, they are easily b level fighters on their best day, their best win was berto ffs lol, berto!

    floyd has done what he always does, go for the easy guys for the big cheques, cotto was finished after pacman destroyed him, he is a bloated welter anyway

    you can actually give floyd props for cotto, he did also struggle with him which his main rival blasted him in brutal round after round but thats another story

    you must give floyd props for canelo, even if it is at a cw after he made such a big deal about pac and his cw fights.

    but yeah, I think in your heart of heart dude, you know guerrero and ortiz were clearly cherry picked

    remember, mosley was coming off a near 2 year lay off, you hve to wonder why floyd ducked him in his prime and only fought him when he was finished as a top fighter, heck if you look back at floyd

    williams, kosta, pac, cotto (prime), mosley, margo and so on, all of these prime guys were avoided by floyd while he either retired or took easier fights, coincidence? not that many fighters dude, he had an agenda to avoid the risky fights and he pulled it off

        he doesn't fight legit ww=mosley

        he doesn't fight ww in there prime=ortiz and guerrero

        he doesn't fight bigger guys =canelo and cotto

        he fights green guys=cotto and mosley

        he fights old guys=ortiz,guerrero and canelo

        he doesn't fight p4p guys=mosley was p4p 3 as ts said go back one marquez was p4p as well
        It's very easy to mask these opponents by saying "Oh look he was a champion" or "he was p4p". It's smoke and mirrors.

        Mayweather tends to pick certain kinds of opponents. Almost all of them have no speed or no jab. Flatfooted and come forward are two other things he also looks for.

          I don't think there's a fighter in history who fought the amount of Top ranked fighters Mayweather has fought that was also considered a cherry picker.

            It's a strange way to prove he's not a cherrypicker, by pulling a bunch of opponents who look much better on paper than in real life. Like Canelo, Guerrero top 10 p4p lol. Maybe the guy needs to consult the dictionary for "cherrypicking".

              it's all about timing... Cherrypicker fights em when they are past their primes

                Shane - Vacation comeback. Shane was not just past-prime but way over it.

                Ortiz - Beat Andre Berto.

                Cotto - Not elite since years.

                Guerrero - Also beat "The Gatekeeper".

                Alvarez - Interesting fight, if only because Canelo is bigger. But why the catchweight clause from a weight in which you've fought twice and are a current belt holder?

                All the while, he really should have been fighting Pacquiao, but for whatever reason the fight was never made. I always thought Floyd would beat Pacquiao, but you can only enhance your legacy by fighting in the ring.

                  Floyd's next two fights are going to be the Khan/Alexander winner and then the Garcia/Matthysee winner. All prime, and when they face Floyd all champs. The cherry picking thing is really ******.

                    just think about it, Floyds best wins till date are JLC and Diego Corrales. Both fights happened over a decade ago. Then he fought all the weak ass competition at the right time and "retired"

                      One has no chin and the other is crap....yep, you can bet thats exactly the kind of fare Floyd is likely to serve up. And so it continues..
