"Mayweather era was the worst because it's all about meaningless fights, it's al about business"

*Fights Pacquiao over Margarito in 2008*

He cherry-picked Manny, a priming ATG (excluding his higher weight run) over a prime, albeit beyond limited Margarito. Bruh lol.

It doesn't matter what happened after 2008. DLH's intentions was to cherrypick Manny and duck Margarito. He even said before the Margarito-Cotto fight, that he will fight the winner. Of course, he was expecting Cotto to win, and so were the oddsmakers and majority of fans. Personally I predicted Margarito was too big and he would knock Cotto out, no bull****. But yeah, Cotto was favored to win and DLH thought so too. When **** went down south and Margarito won like he did, DLH shat his pants and backtracked on his comment of fighting the winner and cherrypicked Pacquiao. Can't use hindsight here because of the clear intentions of the pick at the time.

You were 11 when the fight took place so I doubt you are know much of the build up to the fight.

At the time, it was considered a cherrypick. You had Margarito coming off an impressive win over Cotto, and Pacquiao who had just move up to 130lb. He had a knockout win over Diaz but before that he had a contest SD win over Marquez and a lacklustre win over Barrera (people were questioning his motivation).

De la Hoya deciding to fight Pacquiao looked like a bigger fighter cherrypicking a much smaller fighter for an easy payday, which is why the beat down he received is viewed as a cherrypick gone wrong.
