Pac is dangerously close to becoming a full-blown Cherry-picker!

Spitbucket is spot on.

This fight is totally meaningless. Its all about the money and nothing else, for both Pac and Oscar. It doesn't matter that its a challenging fight or not, what matters it that if you take away the money, this fight means absolutely nothing. If Pac really wants to test himself at 147, then there are better fighters to do it against. I would rather he face a p4p threat in his own division than a bigger fighter who hasn't beat an elite fighter in years just because he is a popular name.

 

David Diaz
over the hill Barrera
Solis
over the hill Morales--Some easy fights there lately but I don't know if it is cherrypicking yet

 

Even if you go by risk/reward ratio. lets say Oscar is a 7 for risk, but he is a 10 for reward. So its still a 0.7 risk/reward. Meanwhile other fights like Campbell and JMM might be 5 for risk and 5 for reward, and therefore those fights are 1.0 risk/reward. Which means Pac is cherrypicking.

get it?

Like spitbucket said, Pac has 2 strikes. 3 strikes and you're officially a cherrypicker

 

Yep

 

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

We got all sorts of threads with people fearing for Pac's life and suddenly he is cherrypicking?

Money has nothing to do with cherrypicking. Pac will earn more money fighting JMM than fighting Soto. Pac will reap bigger rewards from beating JMM than beating Soto. Technically, Soto is a much BIGGER risk, LOW reward fight than JMM....JMM will pay alot more money than Soto. Would fighting JMM then be cherrypicking?


lol. Most ridiculous thread of the year. God forbid any boxer risking their lives(moreso in this fight) in the ring to make money...that would be cherrypicking.

Oh god.

 

He's moving up 2 weight classes to face a much bigger guy. And as much as I dislike Oscar, he is no bum.

 

Cherrypicking has nothing to do with reward. Its simply about minimal risk and more often than not, they try to reap as much reward as possible from that minimal risk. A great example of that would be Joe-RJJ, RJJ is low risk for Joe and lots of reward(cash wise).

ALL fighters at the top try to make as much money as possible with their opponents...it becomes cherrypicking when they opt to choose a less riskier opponent with not much less, equal or more reward. That doesnt apply to Pac, cos whatever reward he is getting, he is RISKING ALL. The risk for taking DLH would be a higher risk than any available fight at 135 atleast to the majority of fans. That is not cherrypicking.

Cherrypicking has always been about how much you are risking. It just so happens fighters always try reap as much reward as possible from any fights, including cherrypicked fights or non-cherrypicked fights.

 

This is one hell of a way to cherry pick !!

Go up 2 weight classes and let the bigger guy have the advantage as far as gloves ..Yup sounds like cherry picking to me atsch

 

Of course it's about the money, but it's still a huge challenge to take on such a larger opponent.

It's not like he's fighting someone for the payday who's 3 divisions below him.

 

Exactly. Fighting JMM would be lower risk and Pac would still be fighting him for money. Ask Pac to fight him for free and we'll see if its about money or not?

The point is, fighters get paid to fight. When they fight low risk opponents, thats when their cherrypicking. The reward is irrelevant, they are always looking for the highest reward possible, low risk or high risk.

 

Idiot. atsch

 

if fighting DLH rather than JMM, Guzman, Campbell..etc...is cherry picking, then it must be a good trait then. Imagine picking an opponent more dangerous than your entire division..

 

Not sure how anyone can call a fight with ODLH 'cherry picking' the guy is twice pac's size. And if Hatton is next, then Pac will have cherry picked the ring no 1 LW, even if he is in decline.

 

What's happening Spitbucket?, you have the entire board thrashing you to pieces here, come on Keyboard General, show them what you're made of already.
