    I made another thread not too long ago, a poll, to see who'd be the favorite. Obviously Floyd won the vote with 80% to 18%, the other 2% was draw. So the third best welterweight, according to most, is a 4 to 1 underdog to the number one welterweight. Bradley was a 1-2 underdog to Pacquiao. Canelo was actually a 3 to 1 underdog to Floyd.

    The logic behind Floyd cherry picking is that his opponents have no chance, WHICH REALLY MEANS PEOPLE DON'T GIVE THEM A CHANCE. With people not giving Bradley a chance, does this make Bradley a cherry pick for Floyd?

    Yes anyone but Pacquiao or going to 160 and fight GGG is a cherry pick in my eyes, their the two best fights out there, if he wants to bull**** and call himself TBE you can't be such an utter coward.

    The reason I asked is stated in the thread... and I'm a Floyd "nut licker" because I like him as a boxer? Do you consider yourself a "nut licker" of boxers you like?

    Cut the childish ****** ****, it's getting old.

    If you are a ******* then yes of course it is. If you are a boxing fan then no, it is not a cherry pick.

    No.....it'd be a great fight.

    I don't think Timmy has the power to bother Floyd, and he's not too fast to bother him either......

    But like Floyd, he does just about everything right on par.....with the exception of his chin being 10X that of Floyds.:thumbsup

    Floyd by 116-112 type decision.:think

    No.

    Clearly it wouldn't be. It would be his best win in years.

    No it wouldn't. Bradley lost to Pac, Almost lost to Ruslan, Is in his prime and won a close fight vs Dinamita, and loss to Pac again.

    Bradley is not the ATG Pac fans are trying to make out to be. Very good fighter though.

    Bradley is definitely not "cherry" to anyone, only a fool would think that.

    Bradley is a top fighter and a worthy challenger to fight Floyd. He could do with a decent win between now and a Floyd fight though.

    He might not be an ATG, but he'd still be Floyd's best win in years. Manny might have beat him, but Manny is a first tier ATG.

    It's not like Floyds recent run of opponents are ATGs either. Barring Alvarez they're not even close.

    I'd pick Bradley to beat the current Floyd.

    Bradley is streets ahead of Maidana.
    He's 3 in the Welterweight rankings.

    Would be a good fight for Floyd.. better than the likes of Khan, Guerrerro and Maidana.
