whos cherry picking...??

[UNBIASED BOXING]

Jmm
Mosley
Cotto
Canelo
Pacquiao
Maidana


my god if thats cherry picking then damn


Floyd was fighting world champions and top fighters in his division..if these fighters are doing that then we will have a damn great year of boxing

JMM - moved up two divisions and fought Floyd for the very first time in that weight class. No tune up fights--- and Floyd didn't even make weight.

Mosley - He was 39 years old...

Cotto - Good job.

Canelo - Only issue with this fight is:
a) Age [still not too big of a deal]
b) Catchweight

Pacquiao - KO'd already. Out of his prime. Probably would have lost regardless, but a Pacquiao @ 140 pounds 5 years ago is a tough fight for anyone, including Floyd.

Maidana - First fight was great. 2nd fight was lame and the officiating ******.

Cherry picking has taken place long before Floyd and will continue long after his career.

Mayweather fought the #2 P4P fighter in the world this year, how the **** is that cherry picking? LOL

Marquez was coming into fights at the welterweight limit for years! People really need to start paying attention to the 30 day weigh ins

Mosley had been ducking Mayweather for years. When they asked Mosely if he would fight Mayweather next Mosley said he couldn't because he had a dentist appointment. After his fight with Brusels, Mayweather told De La Hoya and Mosley he'd go to 147 to fight them and neither one wanted it at the time. Even Lampley and Roy Jones were saying De La Hoya and Mosley shouldn't take the fight because they have nothing to gain and almost everything to lose. He fought Mosley when Mosley was coming off the destruction of Margarito. Mosley tried to get a fight with Pacquiao at that time and Roach turned it down. Pacquiao and Canelo fought Mosley after Mayweather

Canelo proposed the 152 CW, Floyd agreed and Oscar said 152 is good for Canelo because he'll be lighter on his feet.

Pacquiao was out of his prime but an older Mayweather wasn't? People like to say Floyd takes less damage than Pacquiao. Those same people never seen Floyd before he fought Oscar. He's been fighting his whole life. He dropped out of school at 16 to focus strictly on fighting. His body has taken a lot of damage. And it's crazy that people call Pacquiao washed up but he's still ranked in the top 5 p4p. And he's still picked to beat the top LWW and WW fighters. Everytime Pacquiao was asked if he would fight Mayweather, Pacquiao would say it's up to my promoter but Roach said years ago that Manny picks his opponents not Bob. Bob has even said that. Pacquiao didn't start pursuing the fight until his options were none. Arum was trying to sell us a Pacquiao v. Vargas fight. Pacquiao had come off fighting Rios and Algieri. Pacquiao didn't take the fight until he had nobody else to fight

Name anyone that has a better resume than Mayweather over the past few years. He's cherry picking doe..........

cherry picking is as old as boxing itself

I plead with people who worship the "golden era" fighters to actually watch their careers on tape (I know most of you who identify them as heroes have only seen 2 or 3 of their fights). We say bums now but we don't mean actual bums. It used to mean actual bums.



Yeah that's cherry picking

bring up jmm divisions then miss weight
wait years to fight pacquaio after he gets ktfo and people are begging him to retire
ancient mosely
etc

maidana is probably the toughest fight on that list because he was actually at a good time in his career (and coincidentally he nearly won)

Maidana was a cherry pick gone wrong. On paper, he should've been an easy win, but Team Featherfist miscalculated Marcos' awkwardness and it nearly cost them the fight despite the further cherry picking of gloves. Can't forget glovegate. P4P the most concentrated cherry juice picker in boxing history.

Jmm:Career lightweight, firs fight above 140, Floyd didn't even make weight= Cherry Pick
Mosley: lol
Cotto Fights him after he had gotten two career changing beatings, one From Margarito, another from Pacquiao.=cherry pick


Canelo: catchweight 152. lol=cherry pick
Pacquiao: Fight finally gets made after Pac gets brutally KTFO. lol
Maidana: Known for his power, so floyd changed his gloves on the first fight, and then changed his gloves on the rematch along and got himself a ref that doesn't inside fighting. Power was gone, his only strength of fighting on the inside was gone too=cherry pick


my god if thats cherry picking then damn

It's about who and when you fight, there's so many belts given, and even made especially for fighters, it doesn't matter, it's fake and not what once ment.

Fixed it for ya

Greetings to all the new boxing fans. Before you embarrass yourselves, check out the resumes of past champs and see if you still think cherry picking is new. It wasn't cool then and it isn't cool now.

are we going to act like Manny and Mosley were not ww champs and both p4p#2 and 3??....If fighting p4p fighters and world champions is cherry picking then boxing will be fine
