Let me clue you in helpless one. A Cherry pick is when there are better opponents and the fighter avoids those for a less quality opponent. So how is the FIRST choice of JMM and Bradley Cherry Picks?????????????????????? That is what you were responding to!!!
A cherry pick is Rios and this is why , didn't take Alvarez or a WW , Mannys trainer when asked why did you chose Rios and Roach said " he is a 135 been at 140 a couple of times he wont handle Mannys speed and power at 147 , we chose Rios to make Manny look good "
lol at Pac fans claiming Floyd is a ducker. While Floyd is fighting the top dog guy at light middleweight, Pac is cherrypicking a loser (once again) who fought at 140lbs at his last fight.
But yeah, Floyd is the ducker and Manny is the hero

That's a cherry pick !
The man just got KTFO'd. Common practice in the sport has always been to meet a "less than dangerous" opponent after a big loss.
Over the course of Manny's career, he has consistently fought the best opposition out there.
While De La Hoya was past his best when Manny moved up, nobody gave him a chance due to Oscar's good showing against Mayweather the previous time out.......and De La Hoya's propensity to take on smaller guys he knew he could beat.
Manny also destroyed Hatton after Mickey put on a good show against Floyd. He fought Margarito, a much bigger puncher and man after he'd beaten the living stuffing out of Cotto....albeit illegally, more than likely. He fought Clottey when nobody wanted to fight him and fought Marquez 4 times. Cotto, while, honestly past his best, still a major threat to a guy who started out at jr. flyweight ...And I'm just mentioning the welters. I'm not even touching Barrera and Morales who were legends in their own right.
Mosely was a bit of a cherry pick, IMHO; but he fought really tough guys while Floyd was racking up wins against Gatti (shot), Marquez (waaay too small at the time), Ortiz (who??), and Cotto (shot....and he didn't even look that good against him)
I'll give Floyd credit for fighting Hatton and Judah; but De La Hoya was strictly for the money it would generate.....and way too close. While he was welterweight champion, after the Baldomir fight, he could have fought Margarito (didn't), Cotto (didn't), Williams (didn't), aaaanndd Pacquiao (wouldn't, despite the demand and the crapload of money that fight would have generated).
Y'all need to accept that this fight isn't gonna happen and live with it, they ducked each other when they were on a roll. Doesn't matter anyway. Hopefully a new king will be crowned Sept 14th and the new generation of boxers don't duck and dodge each other.
