      No it wasn't. De La Hoya was the favourite against Mosley, that's all. Worst example in this thread so far.

        When in actuallity, Marcos like ALL of Floyd's other oppoents, was coming off a great standout victory against Broner who was a big name on the rise.

        Marcos was simply next up in line.
        yeah like judah!

            they chose chino because he had a name and a decent record but mainly for what happened in the alexander fight. they thought broner could do the same, broner was named to be the heir to floyd's throne at that moment and chino was supposed to be broner's gatti. don't you remember?

              I remember the hype Broner had (next fighter of the decade ) but that was mostly Larry.

              I just don't think it's a cherry pick as the fans were the ones who picked the fight for him. I think Matthyssee was first on the list and since that fight couldn't happen Maidana was #2 and that's who he fought. I thought he would beat Chino as well but I didn't think it was a cherry pick, as Maidana is a tough out

                  The fight was a result of him avoiding both Pac and Khan and rubbishing the result of his own poll lol That's a damn cherry pick.

                    The only poll that mattered was the Mayweaher official poll on Mayweaher' own site. He asked teh question, who should I ifght. Khan won at 55% or something. Mayweather then rubbished his own poll and said he would use some other poll on which Maidana had won (EPSN possibly).

                    Thas a dam ncherry pick, this too after I actively bigged Mayweather up for posting a poll and letting the fans decide lol

                      What I said had absolutely nothing to do with Mayweather. So I have no idea why you brought him up
