I don't hate Mayweather but it DOES seem that he has been a cherrypicker...

    hey guys look it's gander tasco here to defend pacs honor 100 percent free of charge for upwards of 10 hours a day on a forum full of people who think he's a clown of a poster. what a sad little existence. some people need to realize boxing= more than loving pacquaio unconditionally

    Solid point but asking to drain mosley down to 140 is proof of the way they negotiate fights, it's almost as if they doubt pacquiao's skills, clearly stating that mosley is better than oscar as to the reason why the fight could not take place of is evidence of a duck. Weight wasn't the reason why this fight didn't happen... skills were. I give pacquiao props for fighting the best but in this era of cherrypicking manny has gotten hands dirty too.

    in the past maybe. but he fought oscar, shane, ortiz and is going to face cotto and they all have something in common, they bigger than him. even so oscar was old, when they fought he still was in good fighting shape, ortiz was in his prime and well shane was way past prime, but cotto is still good to go. so 3:1, for me obvious that floyd face barely anybody, I say barely, because he doesnt like to face tall strong fighters like pw, margarito or dzinziruk...still no cherry picker.....

    All these big names he's fighting / fought have all come at convenient times. Floyd was ready and available to fight when Cotto was undefeated, Shane was younger and still one of the top guys in the division, Margarito was one of the top guys, Paul Williams was tearing it up, etc. He conveniently took a "retirement" and came back when these guys had all beat the **** out of eachother . When Pacquiao invaded 147 , he went on vacation yet again (!). Now when he had yet another opportunity to fight the best guy out there, at his best (pacquiao), he's made excuses, waited him out and now that time has passed now too. Anyone who looks at Floyd's career objectively when he retires will see a resume chock full of holes.

    I'll admit all dominant boxers who make money are intelligent cherry pickers. Mayweather, Pacquiao, Klitschkos (although for them half the time they can't get good opposition). Neither of these guys have entered a fight in years that they weren't heavy favorites... business is business.

    I'm sure he'll say it in your face but you must submit OSDT first.

    wasnt corrales undefeated when he fought him

    wasnt castillo at his best when he fought him 2 times?

    for long i gave may no credit, but since he fought guys his size who are on world class level i respect his way of competition.

    ortiz came from a strong win and was in super shape, prime time.

    cotto still has it.
