    Because I know you don't think he's a cherry picker, considering according to you he should have fought Cotto at 154, Mosley, Ortiz was going to beat him, Guererro was the best fight available at the time etc.
    I didn't realize Floyd had a 3 and 0 record. But yeah, he should have fought Cotto at 154. The Ghost was the best available opponent and I'd have loved to have seen a definite ending in the Ortiz fight, so what?? He's still a cherrypicker.

    Ohh and he should have fought Canelo 154. That most definitely did not and will not happen. Unless there's a rematch. But you casually left that out.

      On "Morning Joe" earlier they said ***** "stumbled" into agreeing with the American public that bombing syria is wrong. That is how floyd's critics are, no matter how much they resist.

      EVentually, all they will have left is to relitigate castillo floyd 1 and the "mayweather only" thing where they over rank all the the fighters floyd didn't fight.

        You don't see the contradiction there?

        He's fighitng people that you ask for him to fight and say will beat him. Hard to cherry pick and tick both of those boxes.

        Out of his last 5 fights (Canelo included) the only issue you have with any of those fights is the 2 lb catchweight, he's fought every fighter you've asked him (Canelo* as it's a catchweight) to do and picked against him most of those times.

        It's literally impossible for you personally to consider him a cherry picker because all he does is fight the people you ask him to.

          I would be careful about saying what definitely will not happen. You've been definitive alot the past 18 months and you've been wrong everytime.

            Doesn't make any sense

            How can someone be a cherry picker when according to that person they're fighting the best people available and fight's he's going to lose in their opinion

            Literally can't have both sceanrio's.

              How is it that Floyd goes on the record to admit that he and his team cherry pick his opponents and yet the floydies are mad at his critics?

              When the Floyd critics claim that's what he does, u girls go on full defense mode and argue how that's not true. If that's the case shouldn't u be pissed at Floyd for basically telling u guys, "yes sons of mine, the critics are right. I do cherry pick"

                Because he's obviously not being serious.

                Let's pretend that Mayweather was being 100% literal and serious in these statments, and behind closed doors, genuinely thought he cherry picked his opponents and never fought any risks. Do you actually believe he would openly talk about it and adknowledge it? Despite the fact he constantly taks about "fighting the best" and "ducking no one"?

                Have you seen the video that this article is taken from?

                He's so clearly not being literal in his words.

                  WHen did floyd go on record and say this? did you read the article or, as is customary on NSB, read the article title and just run with it.

                  Man, you guys wanna knock floyd down that bad that you interpret what he said in this manner?

                      Clearly the public has a different perception than you.
                      Clearly you have your head up floyd's backside.
