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

    Its all a good strategy if you can pull it off, it was a sht strategy when it fails, boxing is like chess they move counter and set traps, Floyd is a master of tactics and controlling the opponents moves.

      No, rematches aren't only meant for close fights. Floyd fans made that idea up.
      They meant for for fights people want to see. People didn't want berto, and connor, they wanted thurman or spence. Floyd and his fans can't keep making excuses to not rematch, or fight toughest available, it's his legacy at stake you can't keep sabotaging yourself denying yourself chance for true greatness.

      Floyd not had enough rematches in his career which suggests it takes 12 rounds to figure Floyd out. Dlh, pac, nel o studying vids of where they went wrong with Floyd they'd do better in rematch. That's all Floyd has achieved and left people thinking by not rematching

      Floyd needed rematches to be best of era to be considered greater than pac. Floyd fans say Floyd would always beat nelo easy, so why not do it twice? Not four time or even 3 times. Just twice!
      When you really think about it, it's not asking a lot. Randolph t urpin rematched srr, not because it was close or controversial. Sr r showed first fight was a fluke. Floyd didn't want people to know him beating pac, nel o and dlh was a fluke. A fluke because nel o now is better than the one Floyd beat, and Pac is also doing well still, whereas most of the people Floyd beat they disappeared from rankings fast.

          Being title holder is not makeing them good opponents , Floyd holds record for most beaten title holders ,but this record means nothing ,now he have 4 champs in every devision .Floyd had great career but his last fights were crap.

          The biggest knock on Floyd is that not only record matters , performances matter too ,When people think about SRL they remember Fights with Duran ,Hearns or Hagler ,Benitez , , 3 decades past and people still bring this fights up , there is no Floyd fight that will be talked for years ,he will be forgotten and its shame.
