    Seems like everyone forgot DLH Vs Pacquiao cherry pick.

    And the worst part was DLH quitting on his stool.

      Its not a cherry pick, its similar to Maidana vs Mayweather a lot of people had Maidana winning that first fight, and said Floyd cherry picked him because he was tailor made, but it turned out to be a tough out for Floyd and Maidana isnt even a top caliber guy he got schooled by a one eyed bloated Erik Morales.

      STyles make fights

      Awkward sloppy high volume weird non traditional worker fighters are hard as hell to beat.

      Horn was legit and people hate him because of his complexion watch when he fights Bradley and Vargas he will shut idiots up, but I dont expect them to give Horn props even if he beats those guys they will find a reason to discredit that white hornet

          It's a shame the controversy is really overshadowing what just happened. A veteran and ATG like Pac got roughhoused and bullied by a former school teacher. Imagine how the boxing world would react if a green fighter with no championship level experience gave Floyd all he could handle?

          I don't care how old Manny is, his performance was embarrassing. This honestly should bump Manny down a few spots on the ATG rankings.

            You can't compare Horn to Chino. There's a clear gulf in talent and experience between the two

                Bernard Hopkins vs Joe Smith was abit of a cherry pick in my opinion! But when i analysed both fighters? Stylistically i knew Bernard Hopkins would find the fight very tough at the advance stage in his career etc.

                It was a sad way to end his career, when he could of just picked a fighter who was GOOD but stylistically tailor made for himself! (Somebody like Nathan Cleverly would of been a good ending fight! Cleverly does not really have the punching power to hurt Hopkins, and his movement is not amazing but? He has fast hands and a immense work-rate! It would of been a admirable/exciting way for Hopkins to end his career! And Golden Boy Promotions could of really sold this match up very well! It would of been a massive fight!)....

                  A couple I can remember watching live

                  Vivian Harris vs Carlos Maussa - Supposed to be Vivian Harris' coming out party on the Gatti v Mayweather Jr undercard - Maussa knocked Harris into the next suburb and was lucky to not get DQed if I remember correctly - I think he followed him falling down and laid into him while he was lying on the ground!

                  Zab Judah vs Carlos Baldomir - Judah gets out worked, i think he didnt train much before the fight and was lazy

                    Watch when Spence cherrypicks Horn. These brothas will suddenly change their tune and say Horn is the biggest challenge of his life.
                    Horn was mandatory to Spence had Brook vacated his title.

                      They're quiet when young prime Crawford cherrypicks Molina, Jean, Lundy, small Gamboa, etc. Yuk!
