    Don't get out of context . . . question is . . . is he still the lineal champ. :deal

    And don't talk about "cherry picking" . . . because definitely PBF beats Pac on cherry picking opponents. :lol:

    He wasn't even recognized #1 until he beat those clowns I mentioned. Now he's #1 world wide.

    I'm not talking about that. I said no, to your first question in the poll. Oh, i admit Floyd cherry-picks. There is no doubt about that. But, so has Pac his last 3 fights.

    If PBF beats JMM he won't be 135 lineal champ because the fight is above 135 and JMM isn't the lineal champ. Nate beat Juan Diaz first and now there is no lineal champ since he was stripped.

    I appreciate his skills, but, despise his cherry-picking ways. He is so much better than that.

    Floyd didn't say this time he was going to retire. He said he was going to take a much needed break from boxing.

    Did you want him to fight Cotto or Mosley instead of Marquez right now?

    He fought MAB and JMM at 130 then move up to 135 to fight Diaz who was a title holder; then move up further to 147 to fight DLH for a money fight; then fought Hatton at 140.

    :D If fighting at a heavier weight class is cherry picking to you . . . then so be it. :good

    Oscar was shot to pieces, knew he would kill him. Hatton was never that good as the media made him to be. I knew Pac would kill him. Diaz is one of the worst title holders around, then. The guy has no defense at all. Knew he would kill him. Who the fug cares if it was at a higher weight? It's still cherry-picking.

    Well the eassiest way to degrade fighters is inject critism and questions on his opponent. :D

    But irregardless of your effort . . . going up in weight even against the most bum fighters in the higher weight class should solicit praises . . . so nice try. :yep

    Cherry picking to me . . . is getting out of retirement to fight smaller guys with higher rankings. :deal

    How is Mosley #1 when Paul Williams is still an active WW, according to him and his team, and he already beat Margo and never lost his title in the ring?

    Mosley needs to fight either Clottey or Williams to determine the number 1 WW, Cotto lost to Margo and Berto is irrelevant.

    What's the point of being a fan if u can't do that? Fighting a bum fighter gets no praise even if it is at a higher weight. Please....:patsch And lastly, Marquez called him out, not vice-versa.
