    What is the worst cherry picking you've seen from a fighter?

    In recent memory Garcia vs Salka was pretty bad, Khan vs Canelo was also bad if GBP actively sought Khan I can't remember if they offered it to him.

    May/Berto has to be up there.

    Pointless fight involving a fighter who wasn't in a top 10 body and hadn't done anything of note for years.

    Wilder Molina

    Totally picked and designed to give Wilder a spectacular first round KO is his first defense. Only fraud man wasn't good enough to do it.

    the wilder v arreola fight this year

    team wilder wanted arreola for him before the kassi fight but that was called off when he boxed so badly.

    arreola coming off being kod by stiverne then fights a 200 to 300 ranked fighter in harper and struggles badly / then goes in against a jorneyman fighter in kassi and lost the fight on my card but squesaks a decision after having no timing /power in the fight.,

    then goes in against kauffman / good record but just a club fighter on abilty and climbs of the deck to again get a decsion on his name rather than what he did in the fight.

    then he fails a drug test in the fight.

    this is deemed good enough to get a title fight for the heavyweight champ.
    in the fight the champ tears his bicep and breaks his hand and arreola still does not have anything in the tank at all to fight a 1 armed fighter .

    Great call I chose Molina vs Wilder but this easily could be the choice. In fact it's probably more of a cherry pick.

    Mayweather berto yeah definitely a bad cherry pick, Guerrero had a belt so although he's a poor performance it at likes makes abit of sense.

    Mayweather-maidana made all the sense in the world seeing as maidana had just put a beating on Floyds 'baby bro'.

    But if you pick Povetkin vs Huck wouldn't you say Haye vs Bellew is worse seeing as Huck was a more dominant champ and has never campaigned at LHW.

    Povetkin vs Duhaupas goes down as one of the most morally corrupt and disgraceful fight of all time.

    Lewis is an ATG heavyweight, he beat a prime Vitali whilst out of shape if that doesn't prove what a legend he is then I don't know what does.
