    :patsch

    By those standards pretty much every active fighter is basically retired/cherrypicking

    stop making excuses for Floyds cherry picking.

    if he wasn't so great he wouldn't get flagged for it but he is great and he cherry picks far more than other ATG's have ever cherry picked.

    just admit that and start dealing with reality thereafter :good

    the fans have a right to voice our negative feelings about high class cherry picking like Floyd has become famous for :bbb

    Floyd is the first of the ATG's that has had the power/control to get away with cherry picking to the degree he has taken it to :deal

    Floyd needs to know his fans think this is BS :thumbsup

    Floyd has always been a good cherry picker, what is your point about MW's? Floyd would never fight a middleweight so why is that a issue? That was something that guys like Duran, SRL, Hearns and the other ATG's did. Floyd doesn't do that. He is super picky about weight. When you are as great as Floyd that's called cherry picking :good

    I would have a problem with it if they were trying to put it on ppv. I think the fact that everything seems so rushed lately shows you that he's truly done.

    The only fights I give Floyd full credit for taking in the last 6 years are:

    1. Mosley
    2. Alvarez
    3. Pacquiao

    Maidana was a cherry pick gone wrong so I don't give him credit for that.
    Cotto was an OK fights.
    For someone who claims he's the best, that's a rather short list of quality opponents.

    The reason you don't think much of his competition is because he is far and above his competition, regardless of who it is.
