    Too many biased/troll responses, including the OP. Not specifying which examples but just because the opponent is perceived as a cherry pick, does not always mean they're a cherry pick. Also, it's not as black and white as "cherrypick", "not a cherry pick", it's risk vs reward in the business.

    But there are some good examples and some bad ones. Good for debate I suppose.

    Simpson Collins.tony had just been battered by Hagler Collins people thought he was finished took him over to Boston I think and Tony proceeded to Ko Collins in brutal fashion.Hagler warned them Simpson was dangerous but know one was listening.

    why must i CONTINUALLY educate your dumb....oh, never mind.
    1. rabbit punches by maidana don't count.
    2. dlh was just sickly in that fight...but you would know because you REALLY know boxing.
    3. margarito cheated with bricks and cotto took a lot more that night from cheato than cheato did cotto. how did cheato look vs mosley, then pacroid, then cotto 2?
    33 rounds and never won a single one.
    but i know you massage cheato's gonads on thursdays.

    Mayweather-Maidana 1.
    I scored it a draw.
    If you look at any two Floyd fanboys scorecards, they disagree over which rounds Maidana won - this makes a case for a Maidana victory.
