Name me a boxer in their prime, who never cherry picked.

Marquez

 

quick question... everyone is quick to call out fighters as cherry pickers but who isn't cherry picking nowadays?

 

not someone who has practically done it his whole career

 

Timothy Bradley hasn't taken an easy fight in ages. But I agree overall to what you're saying. Boxers don't fight the best every time, and quite honestly sometimes they deserve an easy fight. Most people are mad about this fight because it's on PPV and is his supposed last fight.

 

tim bradley is an interesting example. Some of his recent fights could be considered back fired cherry picks but overall he's taken good fights.

Who else?

 

what?

 

Edit: was moved

 

pacquiao instead of margarito.

 

Don't know if he was already mentioned in this thread. But Darnell Boone certainly took on everyone.

 

Man, come on, who Likar Ramos, Serhiy Fedchenko

 

Evander Holyfield
Carl Froch
Tim Bradley
Paul Williams
Jermaine Taylor
Glen Johnson
Marvin Hagler
Muhammaid Ali
Bernard Hopkins
Fernando Vargas
Oscar De La Hoya
Zab Judah
Antonio Margarito
Julio Cesar Chavez
Shane Mosley
Paulie Malinaggi
etc

 

Really?:huh

 

I'm not really a fan of JCC jr. but I say that because Taylor & Whitaker were clearly more talented still took the fights

Also taking on a young De La Hoya took some guts too then there is guys like Hector Camancho

 

I guess I was just thinking of how early in his career he didn't fight anyone of note. Later he made up for it though.
