    cherrypicking is fighting the lesser threat available. john was still a lesser threat than pac at that time.

    What happened to the judge that gave Canelo a draw against Mayweather?? She was FIRED!!!!!
    How come the judge that scored May-Pac facade 118-110 to Mayweather wasn't fired also?? Both cards were equally as ludicrous. Oh I know he scored FOR Mayweather :patsch

    All fighters cherry picked, especially to keep active or as tune-ups to bigger fights.

    Foreman could never beat Ali, hes the first to admit it. Doesn't matter what you think.

    Carl froch, Ricky Hatton and countless other fought the best and in some cases lost to the best which is no shame

    marquez

    alot of times, certain fighters in their prime are ducked, or stopped from facing certain fighters and so it looks like they're cherry picking certain fights when in reality its not

    GGG. Yeah he's not fighting the best competition but it isn't because he chooses that. He's at least trying to get any tough competition at MW.

    Actually, initially he said he would have beat Ali but was poisoned. The outcry was so strong against him he went into overly modest mode about most things after that, or at least after his initial retirement (and no, I don't think he was poisoned). But yes, younger Ali would have lost to prime Foreman, I explained why, and you really didn't have anything to say about it.
