I know it went to mediation. They walked away from that too. Or did you forget? Then they went and told a bunch of lies to the media and the mediator had to issue a statement saying basically that they were full of ****. Now his star power has diminished. You make your bed, you lay in it.

As far as the 'make the bed' analogy, Ward is a much better example as far as PED testing (or rather not PED testing) is concerned.

For my part I lost interest in the he did - she did mudslinging contest years ago, when it became evident that fight, for whatever reason, would never be made. As for pac's words, I guess the exact timeline of the events are important, and I sure as hell cannot put forth such a timeline.

Grow up.

You sound like a little kid. Grow up.

To your first point, this is the context thing again. He never said his team is cherry picking fights. Use the whole quote if you are going to use it. He was stating how PEOPLE (haters and retractors) continue to say he picks the easiest fights and they are all "cherry picked."

Lets go back all the way to 2006:
Zab Judah - Highly anticipated fight. This is the fight everyone wanted to see. Even though Zab just lost to Baldomir, this was THE FIGHT everyone was talking about.

Carlos Baldomir - Interviews from people were stating that he was ducking Baldomir by fighting Zab. Then they stated Baldomir was too big for him and he would get bullied around the ring. Once Floyd totally outboxed him, a man who had not lost in almost 10 years was a cherry pick and the worst lineal champ ever. Go figure

Oscar - Oscar was also stated to be too big and strong for Floyd and would beat up Floyd, once fight is over, Oscar is over the hill.

Hatton - This is the one that kills me the most. People NOW complain so much about Hatton moving up one weight class to fight. Im astonished how a fight between two top five pound for pound fighters is a bad thing.But again, Floyd has never seen a brawler like Hatton and he would get bullied around the ring by Hatton. Once Floyd beats him, Hatton was never that good, some even called him a bum.

JMM - Yes the two weight class was excessive for JMM, but people act like Floyd pushed and bullied him around the ring with strength. He clearly put on a boxing clinic with timing and footwork.

Mosley - Another one that gets to me. People were saying Floyd would not fight Shane after he destroyed Margarito. Once he fights and beats him, Shane is over the hill and old and now considered a cherry pick.

Ortiz - Floyd has never seen such a tough, young, physical fighter is what was said. Ortiz would bully him around the ring. Once the fight is over, Ortiz is a cherry pick (even though he just came off beating an undefeated young rising star at the time).

Cotto - I think most stuck with their guns on this one and stated Cotto was past his prime and been in too many battles of recently. Granted the 3 wins before the Floyd fight were not "great," but the turning point was revenge on Margarito, which Cotto even stated he gained all the confidence he lost after the first Margarito fight. Sometimes its not who you fight, its when you fight them.

Guerrero - When was Floyd brought the name Devon Alexander up, people were stating that he was ducking Guerrero (after a fight of the year with Berto). Once he fights Guerrero, its a cherry pick, so on and so forth.

Canelo - This was Floyd ducking all the way. No way he would get in the ring with this strong heavy handed young fighter. The 152 I dont care for, but in the ring Canelo had no chance, and then was considered too green, inexperienced and not that good.

You see the theme?

There is a formula that Floyd and company verifies then approves of. Floyd had the upper hand (advantages) in those fights but as per your comments you are just using them as excuses even though almost all were said even before the fights took place. A lot of them, FLOYD and company ADMITTED TO!!

Example:
Inactive Mosley: ""My game plan will take into consideration that Mosley is now OLD!"

Guerrero: "Who is Guerrero? Who has a fought at WW? I'm no Berto" Floyd said. .... Starting to see a pattern?

Canelo : "He will see that experience will be too much for him..... We hope that he tries to move because he tires out easily...... It's his team that is dumb for agreeing to the CW. We took that advantage because they gave it to us."

Ortiz, Guerrero, Marquez, Sharmba, Hatton had a total of 5 recent fights at WW. See the theme/pattern?
