Rios Abril springs to mind immediately as the more recent one Juanma Salido is another one , that was a disaster Pavlik Hopkins (if you want to call that a cherry pick)
The biggest one in recent memory is DLH-Pac. DLH thought he would make easy work of a fighter moving up two weight classes. And he ended up taking a career ending beating.
No thats not the biggest of recent memory. Khan-Prescott was much more devastating and DLH was old and weight drained to ****
Khan-Garcia.....wasnt a cherrypick in the strictest sense because Garcia was a champion but Khan was sure as hell treating it that way
Khan didnt cherrypicking Presscot. It was just another step in his development as a fighter that went wrong. Now DLH refused to fight Margarito who was coming of a great victory over Cotto claiming he didnt want to fight anymore mexicans and instead chose to fight a guy that was fighting three divisions bellow him and got his ass beat him as for him being drained he only has himself to blame cause he could have fought a guy in his division instead of picking on a litle lightweight.. That cherrypick backfired in spectacular fashion not only did Pac gave him the beating of a lifetime he also turned Oscar into a crackhead.
DLH-Pac no doubt. The transvestite got the shock of his life on fight night. It took him years and months of rehab for him to fully recover from that loss.
*******s went 720 on that one. "Boo Void dragged Marquez up, boo. Marquez too small for 147(which he is)" Pacquiao-Marquez announced "Well Marquez can show up at any weight he likes. It isn't a problem. " Marquez-Pacqiao occurs "Uh uh, Marquez stepped on Pac's feet. he should have been DQ'd"
