Hatton: Was king at 140. Manny fought and demolished him there. Floyd cherry picked him at a weight that Hatton had only 1 fight and some people say he lost.
Marquez: Manny fought Marquez twice at Marquez's best weight. Third time Manny went down to 143 to make the fight. Fourth time Marquez had Memo and was a beast at WW.
Floyd: Cherry picked Floyd to come up nearly 3 full divisions!!!
Cotto: Floyd fought Cotto after many wars and lost several of them. Cotto's streak: Had beat a 1 legged fighter, 1 eyed fighter and an all bark no bite ready to retire fighter.
Manny: Manny fought Cotto as his first true WW.
Manny was the clear underdog going into the Oscar fight. Uncle Roger thought it was a disgrace of a fight because Oscar was clearly cherry picking and would demolish Manny. Many including Floyd Sr thought that Cotto was too much for Manny to handle. Actually, Floyd Sr said the same about Hatton too. Destroys your whole argument!
About a year ago, Manny demanded to fight the top 3 WWs. Floyd, Bradley and Marquez. All refused. This year Bradley accepted.
Floyd even admitted recently "Does Manny want the fight? Absolutely! Floyd, though is not desperate. I'm taking on my cherry pick. Either Khan or Maidana.
So you can't be calling Manny a cherry pick.
Don't ignore the truth to support your agenda... Only Floyd is a true cherry picker. He even admits to it!!!
