    Deontay Wilder is the biggest cherry picker on the list. No doubt about it.

    Wilder obviously sticks out as an obvious cherry picker. He got the title vs Stiverne who only beat the gate keeper Arreola for the title and Ortiz was showing signs of decline and clearly wasn't in good health as he was taking blood pressure pills.

    Stevenson is another obvious cherry picker. Didn't want the kovalev fight and hasn't fought his mandatory in God knows how long now.

    Golovkin.

    Fought a retired 154 pounder instead of his mandatory
    Fights another 154 pounder twice instead of Saunders
    Fought Dom Wade instead of Ward

    I don’t think khan as fought a puncher since Garcia every 147 fighter we faced is a slow’ish non puncher
    He cashed out against canelo and he’s still making up stipulations not to face brook

    Currently it's going to be Danny Garcia and Amir Khan. Them two for a few years will cherry pick and then have 1 big cash out fight.

    Anthony Yarde——-
    in continuing to duck even average domestic level opponents, the fans are turning on him

    Hughie Fury——
    stepped up once against Parker and has gone back to bums like Sexton. His unfriendly boring style combined with the ducks is a marketing issue now for any promoter

    Yeah he's lost the belief in himself that's for sure. There was a time during the period he fought Maidana he had genuine ambition and self belief but now he's just cherry picking until the next good payday comes along.

    that's more an indication of what you know, rather than who Inoue has been fighting then isn't it?
