The Mayweather handpicking myth is a lie

[Guest]

I think the only fights I have against him are the Mitchell fight (Tszyu nearly killed that guy a year earlier) Brusseles (wtf is he?) and Berto (how he keeps getting shots I will never know.

Margarito is really the only he guy he ducked, but he had that big DLH and Hatton money so he didn't really care about him or anyone else for a couple of years there.

I don't mind the Gatti fight because Gatti was popular on HBO.

He was born for this

10 HOF fighters on his card right there. His resume will age well, 20 years from now he will be universally regarded as #1 all time even though IMO he and SRR should share that title.

I don't understand vs a prime Floyd why anyone would remotely believe marga******o would EVER be able to win lol, what did he have? He didn't have concussive power, he didn't have good footwork, he was insanely slow, clumsy...Floyd would've completely outboxed him, and marga******o wouldn't have ever been able to catch him. This is also assuming he hadn't bee n a cheater his entire career...onlyh time I rooted for Manny was vs that d1ck... That's 1 fight where I don't care if he was on meth, test, hgh, or anything else. It was a pleasure getting to see him get his face broken up.

Cotto? One of my favorite fighters, but let's be honest...at 154 he lost, at 147 he loses worse, at 140? He gets countered, beat up, and stopped. Floyd at 140 was far too fast.

Williams? Lol his first loss was vs Quintana, do people really think Floyd would not have figured out what he did even faster? You couldn't miss Paul with that right hook/overhand right.

Let's also not forget that Mosley DUCKED Floyd after his toothache from fighting car has years prior to their actual fight.in fact, after beating marga******o, Shane wanted the fight with Manny, roach asked for a 142 lb cw....he fought Floyd, got beatg up, and THEN roach decided it was a safe fight @ 147.

Watch some little **** pacf@g pick apart this resume. This resume ****s on 99.9% of the fighters of this era despite his so called "cherrypicking"......Pacquiao is the biggest cherrypicker of this era if we're being honest.

[JJRod]

No other fighter that I could think of could have his resume and remain undefeated.

Pac loss to Marquez
DLH lost to Mosley.
Mosley loss to Cotto.
Cotto to Pac. Etc etc.

Yet mayweather fought them all and still kept his 0.

will any of those wins be fights against prime fighters 20 years from now??? floyd fans are hoping people forget and thats pretty pathetic. lets let time pass so people can forget the cherry picking. in the future it will look better lmao.

yet he still has the much better resume so what does that make floyd? pac still has all time great wins over prime greats and floyd doesnt. all the crying and whining about people not respecting floyd will never change that. you can hope people forget but even you know the truth

and ledbedev beat toney and roy jones jr. i guess he has a better resume than floyd right? its just a name! why are people so easily fooled. ledbedev was able to beat those names but wasnt able to beat gassiev. so is gassiev better than them? according to you yes apparently.

[Bjl12]

He ducked a few guys.

I wouldn't say Mayweather "didn't" cherry pick, but I would say that his cherry picking was overblown.

Mostly it's just people wishing that he got beat by someone. prime Pacquiao, brick hands Margarito, and people were heavily calling for Floyd to fight Golovkin just to try to see him lose in any way possible

You can't fight everybody.

Nailed it.

Wow, where to start?

Hernandez fought his last fight against Floyd.

Manfredy was B-rate at best. Nothing special.

Corrales was straight up and down, his style suited perfectly for Floyd. Nice win, but Diegovwas not elite class.

Mitchell was at the end of his career. Knocked out in all six of his losses. Kosta's leftovers.

Corley had 28 losses over the course of his career. Who didn't beat him?

Gatti was shot, at the end of his career and by Floyd's own admission, C-rate.

He got a gift versus Castillo. Loss #1.

Judah as we now know was nothing special. More of Kosta's leftovers.

Oscar was past his prime and should have been awarded the decision. Gift #2.

Hatton was small and a brawler. Joe Cortez perve Ted him from fighting on the inside. Took Floyd ten rounds to do what Pac did in two.

Mosley was washed up. Floyd ducked him since 130/135.

Cotto was damaged goods and not at his best. Cotto became an improved fighter under Roach.

Pacquiao was past his prime and Floyd even admits he stalled this fight for years so it could marinate, as though he is some Nostrodamus of boxing. Marinate is the code word for ducking.

Guerrero and Ortiz were hype jobs and B-rate.

Baldomir already had nine losses, nothing special.

Canelo was still green. Not the same fighter he is now and took the fight at a catch weight.

Floyd also ducked Margarito, Casamayor, Freitas, Paul Williams, Stevie Johnston, Winky Wright who he called out, Sergio Martinez, Khan, and a rematch with Oscar. Chose Midana 2X instead of Khan who already beat him. Got gift #3 versus Maidana. Chose Berto over Thurman, Garcia, Porter, Brook or rematch with Pac. Never did cross paths with Kosta, Forrest or anyone significant at 154 either.
