There can be no denying he has cherry picked in the past.

Canelo is the first time in a long time you can say he's taking on the most deserving and threatening opponent available. Shame about the catchweight.

You cry more than a newborn. Floyd picks opportunity fights, not the best matchups. Everyone but Floyd stans know this. Get over it. Most of the boxing community recognizes his in ring ability just as much as they recognize his ability to take the safest route possible.

Canelo-22 years old WBC/WBA/RING CHAMPION-UNDEFEATED-top 10 p4p

Guerrero-Mandatory to his WBC title-top 10 p4p

Cotto-WBA champ at 154,#1 154 fighter

Ortiz-WBC champ-#2 ranked ww

Shane-#1 ranked ww,WBA champion-#3p4p

So in his last 5 fights he has faced 3 top 10 p4p fighters(go back one more fight and he beat JMM who just sparked out Manny and he was #2 p4p) all 5 of his fights have had titles on the line. How is he a cherry picker? People screamed that he would duck Canelo,he takes the fight and is still called a cherry picker?

hes obviously cherry picked in the past but I do give him credit for taking on a young tiger like canelo

ginger isn't that good

ghost was a tune up

Cotto was past his prime but still have Cherrypicker hell

Ortiz is a loser, but Cherrypicker had to suckerpunch him to get the KO

Mosley was coming off a long layoff

The term "champion" is thrown around too loosely.

This.

The biggest fight possibility of our years didn't happen, so your gonna have to put up with people saying he is a cherry picker.

fraud's legacy will be based more on cherry picking opponents than his bullcrap undefeated record.

you know why???

here... fraud undefeated record was the result of his cherry picking. it goes hand and hand.

as simple as that.
