    Lol, come on bro, I was born at night but not last night. Looks like you might have cherry picked that definition.

    Pedraza, Fonseca and Cuellar?

    Out of those 3 exactly one was ranked in the top ten of the division, and that one was Pedraza who was ranked number 6.

    How could I have cherry-picked it if it's the first definition given by Google?
    If your that positive that I'm wrong go and find an alternative and name the source.
    I went through the top 4 Google. Cambridge Dictionary. Merriam Webster's. and Collin's Dictionary.
    I'm sorry to break it to you but they all give the same description.
    The word is a verb (action word) to choose. no mention of who initiates it's irrelevant.
    What is relevant in the action of choosing the preferable from a selection.

    Like I said, you cherry picking them definitions. You acting like I can't comprehend what I am reading and that's just not the case. Cherry picking is a noun. Read that. The action word is pick, now you can look up pick, picked or picking and you will understand that Wilder did no picking. He merely answered the call.

    Look you are literally giving me a headache with your mental gymnastics.
    I gave you the very first definition and checked the following three.
    I asked you to provide a definition and name it's source (like I did)
    So either provide an alternative definition or what I've listed stands.
    Also your getting confused so let me explain.
    Wilder receives several offers for a fight including Joshua. Usyk and from Fury.
    Wilder then decides to pick/choose/select Fury for his next fight.
    What part of this scenario are you struggling to comprehend seriously?

    Here's where your frustrations are rooted. You are trying to win a debate with words and I am merely stating facts. I know that you are cherry picking your definitions because I did my research, and you know it too so I am not going out of my way to print something that you have already saw but refuse to admit it. So in real time, you are cherry picking to make your argument valid. Not today.

    So you say I'm cherry picking despite the fact I listed the top definition and checked the following three descriptions.
    All of which confirmed the first. I listed all sources that can be checked and are the four top picks.
    I ask you repeatedly to list me a different description which supports your position you can't.
    I also gave an example of Wilder being offered several fights and picking one.
    You cannot refute that either because that's what it is.
    You have tried to apply an arbitrary rule to what a cherry-pick is and I've provided evidence to support my position.
    Your response then is to provide no evidence and just say that I've cherry-picked with no proof of that either.
    I think I will leave it there as you are not prepared to concede that you are wrong and I'm not wasting time on another circular conversation where one side ignores reality when it suits them.

    I'm sorry I don't understand what that quote has anything do do with what I've said.
    Could you elaborate?

    OK so Foreman within the first 5 years of his title fight had fought Frazier, Norton, Ali, Lyle, Frazier and Young.

    All top 5 ranked fighters, including some HOF and some top ranked fighters, not to mention the undisputed HW champion of the world.

    Davis in his first 5 years as title holder hasn't fought a single top 5 ranked opponent. 6 is his highest.

    So thank you for proving my point. 5 yeas Davis has held a title and not once has he taken on the undisputed champion of any division, unlike Foreman.

    Cheers, Sparky.
