    Went from SMW king to trying to fight Dunn, Murdoch, Brand and a boxer with an African sounding name only to finish the year fighting Paul Smith.
    He was on a 2 year layoff, a lesser opponent was to be expected.

      Nominate some people so I can compile a poll. Who was involved in the most consecutive or perhaps most blatant cherry picks of 2015?

      Nominees so far are as follows; Brook, D. Garcia, Khan, Stevenson, Lomachenko
      That's your list of nominees? All of hwom have fought better opponents than Andre "I'm making a comeback since 2012" Ward.

      You definitely know boxing

        But not justified.

        Ward is suppously P4P #1, yet cherry picked Paul Smith and was trying to fight Brand, Rohan and some other bum who's name I've already forgotten.

                Amir Khan

                He just sat out the second half of the year. Waiting on cherries to grow.

                    I love Crawford, but he was definitely the first name that popped in my head. Maybe not the biggest cherry picks this year, but he really disappointed me this year after a great 2014.

                    With that being said, Brook takes this one hands down. There are commonwealth champions with better resumes than his was this year, nevermind world champion.

                      As usual, the award goes to, Deontay Wilder! Supposedly a heavyweight champion yet still has no legit wins at his weight!!!
