    Timothy Bradley hasn't taken an easy fight in ages. But I agree overall to what you're saying. Boxers don't fight the best every time, and quite honestly sometimes they deserve an easy fight. Most people are mad about this fight because it's on PPV and is his supposed last fight.

    tim bradley is an interesting example. Some of his recent fights could be considered back fired cherry picks but overall he's taken good fights.

    Who else?

    Don't know if he was already mentioned in this thread. But Darnell Boone certainly took on everyone.

    I'm not really a fan of JCC jr. but I say that because Taylor & Whitaker were clearly more talented still took the fights

    Also taking on a young De La Hoya took some guts too then there is guys like Hector Camancho

    I guess I was just thinking of how early in his career he didn't fight anyone of note. Later he made up for it though.
