i would define cherry picking as avoiding a tougher opponent to fight somebody else that pose a lesser threat. last time, what is your definition of a cherrypick when it comes to boxing??
fighting an aging fighter below your division and making him move up after seeing how horrible he looks at that weight and seeing him look vulnerable against Diaz, Katsidis, and getting outboxed by floyd and chris john. waiting four years for a rematch. being highly favored 9-1 and believing that you would beat the hell out of your opponent easily but ends up getting schooled. ADMITTING u over looked your opponent thinking he past it, or you were better than him is A CHERRY PICK GONE TERRIBLY WRONG. u happy now?
I thought it's: fighting an aging fighter below your division and making him move up after seeing how horrible he looks at that weight and seeing him look vulnerable against Diaz, Katsidis, and chris john. then just pay the penalty rather than make weight against a guy who will be having his first fight on the division.
ishida-kirkland and others mentioned on this thread does not fit what you just posted. This content is protected now, who did pac avoid to fight jmm for the 3rd time for jmm to be considered the cherry????
calslappy vs roy jones jr, made his record look good, but everyone including joe knew roy was finnished, The way he goes on about that win like it actually means anything ahha. On another note, pac cherry picked marquez for sure, he basically admitted it by saying he underestimated him, also that sentence is more or less admitting defeat.
yes it does. were pretty much talking about THE HEAVILY FAVORED FIGHTER GETTING UPSETTED. your *******ation is blinding u from seeing the cherry pick of Marquez-Pacquiao III going terribly wrong. and he fought a lightweight on top of that. that is a cherry pick sir.
He didnt avoid anyone, some could say that he could have faced bradley, with bob arum, he did have plenty of choice, I thik the point everyone is making is that he waited it out untill marquez was older, and got embarrased by floyd at that weight, so therfore he took an easy option. So it really is a cherry pick.
Can't believe nobody has said Khan vs Presscott. The finest example of a cherry pick gone wrong you are ever likely to see. That was a cherry pick gone spectacularly wrong which started with PPV status, predictions of greatness, fireworks, loud music, a long flashy entrance. And ended with shattered glass, a thunderous 1st round KO, the main attraction being carried out by his mum and dad, 'Frank fish eyes W' with egg all over his face, Sky Sports embaressed, an entire country suffering hernias through laughter and the much hyped new Cuban trainer sacked after 1 fight :lol It just could not have gone more wrong
That's the worst IMO. In an attempt to put 18 months worht of fights together in 4 months, JK decides to pick soft opposition. Well, Ishiida is soft opposition, but he's still world class.
