    It would be eisier to name Pacquiao's fights that were not cherry picked.
    It is true that everyone takes an easy fight here and there. However Pacquiao takes a lot more of them than Mayweather dose.
    If you instist on a list of Pcquiao's ccherry picked fights.
    Margarito
    Clotty
    Cotto
    Hatton
    De La Hoya
    Diaz
    Barrera (2)
    Solis
    Morales (3)
    The only reason Pacquiao is even getting in the ring with Mosley is that he thinks Mosley is shot. Pacquiao is in for a rude awakening.

    Pathetic.

    When Pac went up to fight DLH at 147 the best fighters there were Mosley, Cotto, Margarito and Clottey, with no Ring champ. The best fighter and only one worth fighting at 140 was long-time lineal champ Hatton.

    Fast forward two years and a bit and he's got them all on his resume and is vying for Ring Champ status with Mayweather at 147, who he twice tried to make a fight with but who doesn't want to fight.

    He fought them all in preference of their box office appeal and nothing else, except Clottey who was a ready-made replacement when Mayweather negotiations broke down the first time, with only a few months to the scheduled date. Clottey is not the kind of fighter you cherry pick anyway, he is the type of guy top fighters would prefer to avoid.

    If anyone else had stood up in that time and made a case for a fight with him you could say he was ducking and cherry picking. But guys like Khan, Berto, Bradley and Alexander are still today relatively unproven.

    Well said. sadley, you are dealing with a bunch of idiots who really have no business trying to explain anything logical or rational in boxing.

    All this **** these Floyd fanboys say, it's more as if they are just trying to 'get back' at others for all the **** that was said (and more truthfully) about mayweather over the past few years. Bitter litttle bitches... :-(

    You can bet your arse people would be pushing him to fight Cotto, Margarito or Clottey had he not done so already.

    There is only one so called elite fighter that dodged these threats.......we all know who he is.
