    Kind of silly to say that Mclarnin was a cherrypicker, based on just the Benny Leonard fight, I'm presuming thats what you were referering to when you said past their prime, as he's the only one on his resume you can honestly say that about, Pancho Villa also wasn't in the best of shape either, fair enough, i'll give you them 2. Mclarnin was still very green at the time of the Pancho fight, it was only his 2nd ever schelduled 10 round fight. His first being a loss to Bud Taylor 30 days or so before the Pancho bout.

    And the catchweight comparrison? Thats a joke right....You do know after Jimmy got the WW title when he crushed J Corbett lll in the the first round of Corbetts first defence, he agreed to give Barney Ross a shot at the WW title when Ross requested a catchweight. How thats cherry picking like Pac i don't know.

    While i do agree with some of the things your saying about Pac, (Oscar, Cotto), your very wrong about Jimmy..

    Your missing the point. You think Floyd wouldn't have destroyed weight drained Cotto and Margo at 150? you don't think he would have beat Mosely one fight after actually beating him?

    Pac's career has taken a nosedive to knowledgable boxing fans and you can thank Arum.

    Only fights Manny wants are against weight drained fighters or guys coming off bad losses. His fight against a blown up lightweight in Marquez was supposed to be a crucifixation but he ****ed it up. Sorry you can bring up the pre lightweight days but you can do that for Floyd pre lww.

    Also guess who promoted Floyd when he was fighting **** comp like Bruseles?
