Mayweather the biggest cherry picker in boxing
Collapse
-
I'm not the biggest Floyd fan, but he wasn't much of a cherry picker. At least not any more so than most every other top boxer.
Pac dodged Floyd just as much as Floyd supposedly dodged him. A prime Shane Mosley ducked Floyd on two separate occasions when Floyd called him out only a few years into his professional career. 99.9% of the guys that are dismissed as "cherry picked opponents" were world champions and top ranked fighters (almost always somewhere in the top 5) when he fought them. Castillo and Maidana gave Mayweather tough fights the first go around, surely a coward would have just ran with their wins over them and never fought them again? Yet Floyd gave them both an immediate rematch. Etc., etc.

Floyd didn't turn down 8 mil for Margarito and fight Baldymir immediately after for the same 8 mil or maybe less
Margarito didn't soundly trouce Cotto before Floyd found time on his dance card for him, and naw, Margarito wasn't highly feared until Shane shredded him?
and naw, Floyd absolutely did not take a vacation on a heated up ww division with closer to prime Shane, closer to prime Pac, close to prime Cotto, Margarito, Williams...naw he absolutely did not...

Originally posted by uppercut510 View Postlmaoooooo u actually think Margarito (who we found out was cheating) would have beaten Floyd? like seriously why would Floyd be afraid of him? Arum said Cotto wasn't ready when he was in his so called prime u know he wasn't trying to give Cotto that L. Floyd beat shane at a decent time! there are reasons n speculations of why it didn't happen earlier but YA BOY fought him even later after saying he was TOO BIG and nobody had an issue with it.... Williams... I don't think any WW was interested in fighting him but if it makes you feel better saying Floyd ducked these guys then have it your way.
At least he can throw a straight punch.
He was also able to hurt Joshua Clottey...Manny and Margarito couldn't budge him.
The only time I saw Clottey truly hurt was against Carlos Baldomir.

what excuse could the floyd boys possibly come up with for berto...
A large percentage of title wins in the last 3 years has been followed by a defense like this, especially with high profile fighters. Manny beats Vargas, follows with Horn. Canelo beats Cotto, follows with Kahn and Chavez. Loma beats Russell, follows with some unknown.
yet you only have a problem with Floyd.

Tell the whole story stumpy.
You know damn well Floyd was in the process of buying out his contract with Top Rank
Mayweather was after Oscar....a FAR MORE DANGEROUS FIGHTER than Margarito....a guy that couldn't even get past Daniel Santos
Arum could have offered Mayweather a ONE fight deal to fight his Mexican Mummy....but he chose to use Floyd's name to pimp suckers like YOU...lol
i am not interested in your whole floyd excuse story...just the f**king facts....right mr. dunn...facts...
i could care less what he was buying out, i ain't gettin' a dollar of it...
did he or did he not turn down 8 mill for Margarito and fight baldymir next...stick to the question yes or no...
...and on what planet was an oscar who was semi-retired and had already been ko'd by hopkins, a bigger threat than a prime margarito who never never took a backwards step...i heard it all now...keep slurping that floyd kool aid...you'll be like the realpukilist and larry in no time...
