    Undertsandable but how would you know? let me see, so do you think Berto cherry picked Urango over Collazo? I dont think thats cherry picking because Urango has a ton of power compared to Collazo. thats kinda of a hard to understand.

    Berto already fought Collazo.

    It's harder to label someone a picker If he already fought said opponent.

    A welterweight fighting a lightweight and making him jump two divisions. If that is not cherry picking i dont know what is.

    Cherry picking is in the minds of many here not losing to good fighters. I have not really seen a clear case of cherry picking since DM and now that Erdei fellow. In both cases thier best opponents are at best second tier or gatekeeper type fighters. DM did at least fight Hill, but it was the same hill that he fans claimed was shot months later when he was knocked out by Jones.

    Erdei??? Well what can you say about that guy???

    When your in a fight were half the people are picking you to lose it cant really be called cherry picking because you go out and win in dominating fashion. Which is what is happening to Floyd and to some degree with Pac.

    Mayweather is not making Marquez do anything. Marquez wanted this fight and knew Mayweather was a WW. So Mayweather said I'll cut a little weight but not to much because hes been out for almost 2 years. you think if Mayweather called out Pavilk, Pavilk would meet him at 154??? YEAH RIGHT!!:patsch

    Good to witness some logical thought in action.:thumbsup

    It seems that far too many wanna point the finger at this one or that one for this or that ... but totally disregard the fact that not one fighter has any exclusive rights to certain behavior. Any Fighter accused of cherry-picking today has plenty of company in the world of boxing politics.
