    Floyd sometimes does not seem confident in himself. Most people think that Pac, Cotto, Margo, SSM and maybe even Zoo would have lost to Floyd in their primes but he never too the chance.

    Margarito was better than Guerrero.

    Let's see if you really know what you're talking about, or are you spewing rhetoric just for the sake of it? Here are FMJ's last 10 opponents, dating back to '05, which is more or less the time when he really started getting popular. I'm limiting it 10 to make it easier for you...

    '13 Robert Guerrero
    '12 Miguel Cotto
    '11 Victor Ortiz
    '10 Shane Mosley
    '09 Juan Manuel Marquez
    '07 Ricky Hatton
    '07 Oscar De La Hoya
    '06 Carlos Baldomir
    '06 Zab Judah
    '05 Sharmba Mitchell

    Which ones were cherry picks, and who should he have fought instead in that time period?

    Mosley before he became an AARP member. A true welter like Cotto or Margo instead of the 140 pound Hatton, an actual welter instead of a lightweight JMM, pre-plaster Cotto instead of the shopworn one..........

    Baldomir, Mitchell, Ortiz and Marquez to a certain degree were hand picked opponents, the rest were good to very good opponents.

    put it in context and see who was fighting during all those years he handpicked those guys. Pacman, Margarito,Williams. Martinez.

    People seem to forget about the alleged torn rotator cuff that Floyd had during that first fight.

    Guerrero -- cherry pick
    Cotto -- should have taken place when the Hatton (140 pounder) happened. Shopworn but still good.
    Ortiz -- not bad.
    Mosley -- happened several years too late, but Mosley was ranked at the time
    JMM -- total farce. Fighting a lightweight then blowing the catch weight.
    Hatton -- taken over several legitimate welters. Cherry pick
    Oscar -- career defining fight. Oscar wasn't prime, but still servicable.
    Baldomir -- cherry pick
    Judah -- good fight at the time. I was excited about this one.
    Mitchell -- pretty solid fight, but there were better options at the time.

    There is nothing wrong with the guys you have listed, Floyd has a great resume but it could be so much better.

    Look at the guys you have listed and think how many of these fight were the ones you really wanted to see at the time. I can only see two: Mosley and to a much lesser extent Oscar

    Carlos Monzon cherrypicked all of the ranked contenders at middleweight as well.

    Floyd tried fighting Mosley and Mosley ducked from 2000=2007. It's weird how you leave out the details for someone who claims to be so smart.
