    This isn't a cherry pick. This is real deal Holyfield. @152lbs with NO rehydration clause!

    The fight on paper seems like a challenge on paper but lets be real here. Alverez is basic at best, he stance is stiff and rigid like RoboCop, he doesn't mix up the variety and velocity of his punches and throws everything with power so its obvious wat he is going to do, he fatigues down the stretch due to that, so tell me if that sounds like the guy that can beat Mayweather

    Its not quite a cherry pick, but it is low hanging fruit. Floyd will get on his bicycle and pot shot his way to an easy and boring UD. If Alvarez comes straight at Floyd he'll probably have one of his dotted shut.

    Thank you.

    But since there's no fight unless Floyd gets those 2 lbs, he gets little credit for the win from me.

    All of them. I didn't approve of Pac screwing with Cotto either.

    Long before the fight was signed, I favored Floyd as Canelo was a bit green, recognized it as a solid win, not a cherry pick, but not an ATG feat either.

    If he wins 120-108, it will appear that way. That he picked a limited fighter.

    But, I see Floyd having to dig deep. Maybe even a 115-113 type win.

    this is exactly the wrong way to look at things. You cannot look back after a fight to determine whether a fighter was legit, you have to look at him coming into the fight.

    I do not think Floyd has fought a fighter coming off a lose since Zab (most have come of career high or near career high wins); Also, its been a long time since has not fought someone who is top 5 in his division (usually 2-3) or ranked highly P4P individual.

    The truth is in recent years you have a large portion of fans saying that everyone he has fought was a threat and others saying that they are a live dog coming into the fight. It is only in hindsight, when he shuts these guys out there say that they become a cherry pick.

    How about Chavez-Whitaker? That was at a catchweight too.
