Why doesn't Manny cherry pick at this point?

    I'll translate what hugh is really saying so it's clear for everyone.

    Hugh feels: Over the hill Broner-Shot Lucas-Jeff Horn-Jessie Vargas-Timmeh, whom he already bested twice comfortably each time

    Are better than the 2015 manny pacquiao. An older manny would go onto beat Keith 4 years later. Keith who had already beaten Porter & Garcia.

    Why did you just put down your favorite fighter, hugh?

      Apparently he doesn't want to cherry pick and there is nothing wrong with that. Who wants to see him win gimme fights anyway? If he thinks he is too old to compete then just retire rather than stay and cherry pick. He has a reported net worth of well over 200 million and as a national hero he can bring in lots of money from endorsements after he retires.

        3.5 Year Run of pointless matchups:

        Shot Lucas

        Jeff Horn

        Jessie Vargas

        Timmeh, whom he already bested twice comfortably each time


        Not to mention manny's waiting Shane out and picking margarito for a bogus title.
        Man don't take anything away from his win vs margarito, he beat the boy so bad that tony revealed he wished his corner stopped it in retrospect.

          LOL at Cherry picks... Margarito is now a cherry pick SO MUCH REVISIONIST HISTORY IN THIS THREAD. Everyone was saying it was career suicide to fight Marg before hand.

          Pacquiao RUINED Margarito. Cotto should THANK Pacquiao for crushing his eye socket.

              manny fans don’t know their own fighter all too well

              So a punching machine was going to have a hard time with a punching bag in margarito eh

              That’s what you guys really believed lol

              Either way awful opponent at the time. Marg just had a tuneup stemming from a layoff after taking the azz whooping of his life

                Mosley RUINED Margarito, he's never been the same since. Pacquiao should THANK Mosley for beating him the year earlier, that gave pac the confidence to fight him. Classic pac

                How was "everyone" saying it was career suicide when manny was the clear favorite?

                  Broner, Horn, Vargas, Rios, Matthysse, Algieri and Diaz were all cherry picks.

                  Nothing wrong having a soft touch here and there because no fighter can fight a blockbuster fight one after another.

                  Drained Cotto, an old Mosley, a shop worn Margarito does scream prime either.

                    The Rios and Algieri fights were okay

                    A star fighter is entitled to one easy matchup immediately after a devastating ko loss. One the best knockouts of all time when Marquez our manny out

                    Wasn’t he using Algieri to prepare for Floyd’s outfighting

                      I would say he’s been a cherry picker for over 10 years. As for why he’s still fighting. Even the Bobfather came out and said Manny owes the IRS a lot of money which is crazy considering how many big fights he’s had. He must really have a lot of people stealing his money and I’m inclined to believe Bob on that because he’s always been very complimentary of him. It’s sad really and I’m not even a Pacquiao fan. He should’ve retired years ago!
