    Mayweather at welterweight is a fair shout.

    He could've fought: Mosley, Williams, Cotto, Margarito.

    He did fight: Sharmba Mitchell, Baldomir, Judah, Hatton.

    That's some pretty clear evidence of cherrypicking right there.

    130 was crap for talent at that time. Cant really fault Pac for fighting Barrera and Marquez so many times.


    People want to deny how big a cherry picker Leonard could be when he wanted to. But I put that down to not really loving the sport. If Leonard had a choice he probably would have retired after the olympics. I mean there is no reason it took him so long to rematch Hearns. Even with the eye. And the Hagler he fought certainly wasnt prime.

    You don't even know how to define the old term 'cherry picker' lol...because you have book knowledge. You probably talk about fighters cherry picking their whole careers lol. That isn't cherry picking. It's why you don't know the sport you PAc dick rider:lol:.

    You always go after the money D, but when you are being set up to fight Guzman, and then bypass him, to fight who...that is cherry picking lol.

    did he have a fight with Guzman? I never heard of that. Was this supposed to be who he fought and instead chose Diaz?

    Mayweather v Mosley or Mayweather v Williams would've been amazing fights. We would really have seen Floyd stretched for the first time since Castillo. It's very possible that Floyd had another level to go to that we never saw, a level only a great fighter with some advantages over him could've forced out of him. He never had to fight to the best of his ability above 135 because he was always so much better than the guys he was in with.

    I'm not fan of Oscar, but forget how many he beat and for christ sake take a look at his list of competition across 6 different weights.

    People on here have rocks for brains. No logic whatsoever.

    oscar has one of the best resumes ever. period. not for his generation. now before this gets misquoted "ONE OF" the best resumes. SRL cherry picked later in his career (hagler with the stipulations, lalonde) but by then, mother****er had earned it
