    Trout is not the Super Champ. He's the regular champ. They made Cotto the super champ even though he wasn't a unified champ, which is against their rules. Trout then beat Alvarez's brother for the vacant regular title. Trout's trinket is less legit than Guerrero's interim title.

    He might be trolling but he's telling the truth for a change. Both Ortiz and Guerrero are not in Mayweather's league.

    Well think about it, Floyd has 6 fights left and he's past his prime already?
    Apart from Canelo-Trout winner and winner of the 140 tournament, who is there? He might as well go for guys like Guerrero..

    It is a lot simpler to outline the times Floyd didn't blatantly cherry pick. They are much fewer.

    Arguably Cotto
    Oscar, kind of.
    Castillo
    Corrales

    That's it. One decent test about every 3-4 years. If the division is too hot, wait it out or fight outside it.

    Edit: Genaro Hernandez. RIP champ, didn't mean to leave him off the list.

    How dare he pick fights against standing champions who are coming off big wins.

    Trout holds the WBA "regular" title.

    Hatton and Shane wasn't cherrypicked either. Everyone accused Floyd for ducking Shane at that time. The same time that Pac wouldn't fight Shane unless there is a 143lb catchweight agreement. Everyone wanted to see those fights.

    Exactly what the hell do you want Floyd to do? Guerrero is his mandatory, and also along with the Ortiz fight, they are/were the next highest ranked WW after Pac and Floyd. WW is Floyd weight div. Other than the Canelo/Trout winner, who the hell else is Floyd suppose to fight right now?
