Cherry-picking. Manny's being accused of doing it, so was Floyd when he was on top. But is it a fair Criticism? When you're approaching the end of your career, I think most fighters start to think about their future outside of boxing. When you're young and hungry, you're out to destroy everyone who gets in your way just make a name for yourself. But what happens after you hit the pinnacle of the sport? Everyone you fight from then on is going to be an underdog. So what do you do? I think most fighters will go for the money. Agree?

Sounds like an excuse to me.But do U really think that Pacman or Foyd would always be favored??Lets say,if Pacman decided to defend that 154lb strap he won from Margarito against sayyyyyyyyyy Martinez,do U think it'd be wise to favor Pacman??

once you get to the top, you need to start making money. that's what everyone does.
no one fights tough fight after tough fight. even the old timers like joe louis and SRR fought bums inbetween bigger fights. sometimes there just isn't anyone good in your division like bhop at 160 lbs.
however, if all you do is fight mismatches *cough* rjj *cough* wifebeater jr *cough* that is wrong.
