    champions make weight.

    champions win decisively.

    champions know how to cut off the ring.

    You forgot to mention that champions don't need to buy judges...

    ....and always try to give their best abilities not just try to finish the fight. without trying to make the fight and win with floyd just shows weak fighting heart or tainted win.

    There are less cherry pickers in boxing then their are guys who duck.

    Guys who fight anyone
    Canelo
    Froch
    Cotto
    GGG
    Klitschko
    Bhop
    Kovaelv
    Pacquaio
    Rigondeaux
    Donaire
    Lomochenko among others.

    The reality is cherry picking has only increased slightly, people are dumb if they think in the past every big fight happened, SRL, Duran ect never fought Pryor, RJJ avoided several fights, Riddick Bowe ducked Lewis, Rocky Marciano fought mostly LHW's ect. Fights mostly don't happen for financial reasons the majority of times it isn't guys literally avoiding other fighters.

    Cotto clearly wants no part of Golovkin and Pacquiao shamelessly ducked Mosley until he was clearly shot, Mayweather and a Cotto rematch. Other than that, that's a pretty solid list.

    Cotto fight who ever they put in front of him, sadly Roach and the management team think more about business.

    Champions are supposed to win AT LEAST 7 rnds to get a decision .

    Canelo won 5 rnds at best against Lara and STILL got the decision .

    WTF ??
