Great article about the cherrypicker.

Article just states the obscenely obvious to boxing fans. I give ANY fighter their due IF they man up and take on the best to prove without a doubt they are the best instead of leaving it up to the fans to DISCUSS who would have won and why.

 

good article. the man obviously feels contempt for floyd but that doesnt make what he wrote any less true. i have noticed many fans who used to believe in floyd are now getting a clearer picture of what this guy has actually done and not what he says he did. of course you are not going to convince his diehard fans of reality. in the words of michael mcdonald "what a fool believes, he sees. no wise man has the power to reason away". his rank of believers gets smaller and smaller every day. floyd can still turn this tide around but he has to fight the right fights and he has to win. anything less will only prove what most people already suspect; he is one of the best defensive fighters ever who came up lacking when it was test time for his goat ranking.

 

Its a horrible article..What the guy did was say that Floyd is cherrypicking and not fighting the guys that he listed, at the same time he was making an excuse for those listed fighters should Floyd fight and defeat them.

Its clearly a person that like many of the posters here that will excuse away any and every thing that Floyd does as not good enough.:good

 

Agreed.

 

:good

 

you cant have it all. i think author trying to say no one blame him for taking the path of least resistance and getting paid, just dont try and make out you are a balls on the line warrior. i appreciate mayweather for what he is but imo not in the same league as other fighters author mentions, specially fabulous four. although its hard to knock a boxers guts and heart when they are climbing through the ropes in the first place, just people would like him to prove how good he really is and put his neck on the line?

 

its Floyds fault that people are talking about him this way, had he done things a bit different they wouldnt have room to speak about him like this. However Floyd fights Manny he beats Manny and when that happens nobody will say ****.

 

Doubtful, especially when Mayweather is in discussion. There are idiots already claiming he's ducking Mosley and Cotto of all people, there is also one unique ****** hinting he ducked Kermit Cintron.

 

there is something very uninspiring about people so openly money orientated. surely love and passion should rule with money being the bonus. people always want more than they need. if you break fighting down to its most basic components, money will not be anywhere in sight. fighters, more than anyone else, have the ability to really stir up peoples hearts and imaginations, but not when you coming off as some super tycoon cash *****

 

Floyd came back when the time was right a win over Mosley who already ducked Floyd wouldnt do much they will argue his age, a win over Cintron would be a win over a bum who was stopped by that other bum Margarito.

A win over Cotto, he was finished by Margaritos plaster, there is no win for Floyd in any of these fights right now, it has to be Manny Pacquiao, However after 17 months off, I think a Marquez fight is not only a great fight but a huge risk No tune up what so ever.

Floyd is comming back to make a statement he is comming back to take what he beleives belongs to him, now had he come back to fight Hatton again or some other lesser name I would be all over him like white on Rice.

But lets get this straight Marquez did give manny hell, Manny fought this guy twice dropped him four times and Manny only beat him by a single point.
IF Floyd dominates Marquez which I think he will I think he will break down marquez and stop him late, it will only validate how good he is in comparision to Manny Pacquiao.

it doesnt not automaticly mean that he beats Pacquiao it just means he did a better job with Marquez than Manny did meaning he knows how to adapt better which is the truth. However anybody talking **** about Floyd now is just looking to start ****, FLoyd is comming back for the obvious, so if you want to talk about his cherry picking days that are behind him go ahead.

As long as your willing to take our counter arguements that Manny himself is also well managed and fought guys who were clearly past it to get where he is today, and if you really want to talk ****, we can easily say that Manny took two Mayweather left overs to get where he is today.

 

I continue to laugh at the Roy Jones nuthuggers on here that have the audacity to call PBF a cherrypicker.

PBF fought Oscar on the Golden Boys terms ie: his ring, his brand of gloves, made every concession Oscar asked for.

Glass Jaw Roy Jones would NEVER have done this.

 

Roy did fight a dangerous heavy you cant deny that, and even though you might not think much of Ruiz, he gave Evander three hard fights dropping him in the 2nd nearly taking him out, he also has wins over Golota, Rahman,Johnson, he did very well with Valuev, this is a guy Jones Dominated clearly clearly~

regardless of ring size, glove brand etc.... Jones took a much bigger risk IMO

 

for pbf to realise his potential legacy who does he have to beat? or has he already done enough in your opinions?

 

Yes and they fought in Roy's ring and with Roy's Grant gloves.

And Ruiz was a handpicked fight by Jones.

Ruiz is perhaps the worst beltholder of the last 30 years in the Heavyweight Division only Seldon may be close. And those "wins" you speak about were gained through holding, clinching, grabbing, and faking low blows not Boxing. Ruiz never KOed anyone woth a crap he had to cheat and make the fight go the distance so his daddy Don King could get him the decision.

 

Can't disagree with anything there, excellent post. :good
