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

[BoloShot]

Maidana and Canelo were the two most in prime opponents there. The rest are negligible. Robert Guerrero being #10 p4p is a joke too. Mosley being #3 and Pac being #2 at that point is laughable as well.

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

They were beltholders all of them. Not real champs. Ortiz, Guerrero, and Maidana were in their absolute prime. That isn't saying much. Would these guys even be contenders when there was one belt per division?

Sugar Ray in the 80's defeating a prime, undefeated Hearns who is clearly a top 10 all time great @ ww trumps this whole list.

Every couple of weeks you have to create one of these threads just to defend Floyds resume why is that? If his resume was the truth, it could stand on its own two feet.

Only a fan could think that Floyd is only guy doing it lol, they all try to win a psychological edge its just another aspect of the complete package that Floyd was good at.

The guy beat them on all levels.

not talking psychological edge. Pillow gloves for another fighter or like a spoiled brat : "Or I won't fight"

F that.

It is his fault boxing is in a diva state.

Floyd schooled Pac. It's as simple as that.

I gotta say I though Manny was schooled at first but Mayweather did not land clean a lot on further viewings. It was such a **** fight for both that I'd have called it a draw.

[Goldie]

He's the only fighter who never got ripped off by the judges, again saying that's a good thing.

You didn’t see the judge that gave canelo a draw? The dlh fight was a split decision.

Hard to get robbed when you only really have 2 close fights in your career and 1 coming early on.

Boxing don't work like that, your Just making allowances and excuses for floyd. Boxing fans like the biggest names to fight each other more than.once.

It don't matter if Floyd won first fight in a life and death battle, or easily don't mean rematch would go same way. Floyd has a lot of critics and doubters so Floyd s got no responsibility to address them?

Pac gave barrera a rematch and beat the biggest name twice, why can't Floyd do it? Would you swear on your life that the Pac v floyd fight had less controversy around fight than pac v barrera? RJJ gave bh rematch!

Stop treating Floyd in kids gloves. Floyd fans say Floyd would beat pac in his prime, or 10 times out of ten? So for gosh sake what's the drama over doing it just twi ce? Same for nelo rematch.
Floyd needed to win rematches to be considered as great as pac. Pac did every thing on grander scale erasing any doubt.With Floyd there lots of asterix and question marks.
Or if he didn't want to rematch Pac and nel o and he knew he was going to retire soon he should want to go out guns blazing and top wins over nel o and fight at 160 against ggg with a "ok I'm ducking nel o and pac but hopefully you'll forgive me by me f ightng even bigger challenge" type approach... Similar to RJJ v ruiz. If your ducking Pac and nelo, fighting berto and Connor is totally opposite what you need to be doing, leaving even bigger question mark?

so manny needs to rematch Thurman?

[hugh grant]

so manny needs to rematch Thurman?

look, I know you like floyd but I'm going to have to break it to you like I did to Jedi Vader when he asked same silly things like so pac should rematch cotto and so and so also, like your asking floyd to?
Pac is greater than floyd. Pac s already got 2 or 3 wins over big banana names be it morales, jmm, barrera, bradley types. Against morales and bradley he lost first and won 2 nd and 3rd. You saying pac can't lose first fight with Floyd and not win 2 nd and 3rd fight? Well, your a floyd fanatic so I know what your answer will be, but it's not the correct answer.

When people ask floyd to rematch nelo or whoever it is to be considered as great as pac. Pac don't need to do what people are asking of floyd, Pac s proven. He's done it, bought t shirt.
Floyds proven he can win first fight, he's good at that. But lots of unanswered questions of how he's do in rematch against higher quality fighters than maidana with better iqs. Maybe fighters like Nell and pac would do much better in 2 nd fight, it took 12 rounds being in ring with floyd to figure him out.
We don't know? Floyds a good front runner his style is something his opponents not used to so he gets off first base furst. Rematch tell us much more, we learn more. Floyds left a lot of unanswered questions. A lot of asterix

The Guerrero fight ******.

Floyd almost whitewashed Nelo, why would there had been a rematch??? arnt rematch meant for close fights? floyd was already 36 when he fought him so i really dont get it man

[Larry the boss]

The Guerrero fight ******.

Guerrro actually had a good strategy...when Floyd threw the lead right he countered to the body instead of the head....You gotta credit floyd for adjusting to that and somehow dodging body counters..how often do you see that?
