    Floyd.

    Although all guys on that list are guilty of picking here and there, Floyd is the only one who has 'retired' twice to avoid certain fighters on top (cotto, margarito, now pacquiao) or just simply ducked them through his career (casamayor, tzsyu, ect) at an obvious degree...

    i havent voted yet, but at this point i also favor floyd to be the blatant ducker of these 4 duckers and cherry pickers here listed.

    I don't think Joe Slappy is a cherry picker. Roy is most def NOT.
    Haye...he just doesn't fight.

    PBF is a best cherry picker of all time. He has a very good team behind him.

    cherry picking is fighting someone after they get exposed or letting someone else do your dirty work while you wait in the wings, I think we all know who that is on the list

    well, calzaghe and haye were never cherry pickers, so that leaves jones or mayweather. both of them avoided certain fights.

    jones: calzaghe (prime), michalczewski, and a rematch with hopkins when it mattered. you can throw in benn and eubank as well.

    mayweather: all the danger guys at light welter (he fought the no.1 in hatton, but made him come to welter were he wasn't comfortable, plus, cortez ripped him off by not allowing him to fight)
    basically the whole of the welter division.

    the biggest cherry picker is fraud mayweather, with jones in second place.

    Definitely not Floyd. Jones seemed to fight the mandatory and there were a few times when a fighter pulled out and he had to settle with someone else. Calzaghe had some horrible fights but his whole division wasn't that great. His last fight was complete bs.
    My vote goes to Haye... nah, i wont vote.
