Cherrypicking: Mayweather
As far as Floyd goes did u predict he would win all his fights? Even against the fastest fighter uve ever seen? Did u make a killing betting on Floyd to always win? I’m not trying to bust ur b*lls, uve got plenty rep. I’m just always curious if guys think Floyd’s overrated as a fighter and better opposition would prove that? I just want to know when someone says he was the biggest cherrypicker how good their predictions were on his fights? Cause in all honesty the guy who got it right is the guy I’m interested in telling us who would have beat him? This is an honest question and I’m meaning no offence. My brother used to say Kahn beats him.

Btw - trying to pick one guy for each category proved tough for me...harder than I thought on some of that.
Why didn't you have RJJ on there somewhere? seems you are a big fan of his...and rightfully so I would say
If I was doing an all time list, I’d have picked Roy for fastest hands and feet for sure.
