    Would boxing be better if fighters starting cherry picking like Mayweather?

    Imagine if boxers started consistently cherry picking like this

    Mosley-wba champ p4p #3

    Ortiz-WBC champ

    Guerrero-p4p #10

    Cotto-wba 154 champ

    Canelo-wbc/wba/ring 154 champ p4p #9

    Maidana-wba 147 champ

    Pacquiao-wbo 147 champ p4p#2


    Would that get us some good fights?? imagine boxers cherry picking fights like this back to back to back

          And what he did do is more than anyone else did, ironicly nobody in the history of boxing has captured the sport for so long like Floyd has.

            Only in Floyd fanboys minds did he do more.
            I suppose he fought in backyard MORE, he was MORE scared to fight abroad than anyone else.
            MORE scared to give rematch. than any great in history. More scared of losing unbeaten record than anyone. If your that scared it effects every boxing decision you make
            If that's the MORE your talking about your onto something, well done sherlock

                do you think floyd is purposefully making a joke out of tanks career so he looks better in comparison? old faded guys dont look so bad when you fight even older faded guys like tank!

                    i think it was true but just goes to show you that sometimes rankings are based more on possibility than actual accomplishments as he never really beat anyone from 126-147 but the idiot division hopping lovers fell for it like that means you are p4p material. was he beating top guys? no. but he kept going up and up and up! also mosley #3? laughable. did people miss the marg and mayorga fights? he clinched the entire marg fight and the mayorga fight he looked done. i think if you are gonna put someone on the list he should have a consistent record in recent fights. bigger sample size makes more sense but then again its boxing and star/name power mean more than who is actually good sometimes. like if cotto came back and beat a decent fighter they would prob put him back in the top 10. is he really....
