    And that is what is called cherry picking. He is a "C" class fighter. He hasn't fought what I would consider a "B" class fighter or above unless they were 40 or over and totally shot.

      So long as he doesn't go balls out and thinks he's invincible and goes after a middleweight now.

        Most of them do anymore. Once in a while you might get a fighter that that will fight just about anyone that they put in front of them, but they usually do go undefeated very long.

            So why was Pac trying to fight Cotto at a catchweight again? What class fighter is Margarito? Why did he fight a 38 year old Marquz and 39 year old mosley?

            This is what Pac's promoter Arum said before Pac fought Mosley..

            Asked on Sunday if he'd read the less-than-glowing reports of the controversial draw, Arum gave little reason to expect a Mosley-Pacquiao showdown.

            "I did and I read them saying Mosley was huffing and puffing for air in the fourth or fifth round,"
            Arum said. "To me, that is the real tipoff for an aging fighter. Even Big George Foreman did that in his 40s but he always had that big, big punch like in the (Michael) Moorer fight."

            "What I've read is not very supportive to make any Mosley-Pacquiao bout. Look, he's going to be 40 and he's in the lighter weights where speed is so important. He's on a show with guys -- example, 20-year-old Saul Canelo Alvarez -- old enough to be his son."

            "I guess Shane needs the money due to his matrimonial sitaution (a divorce under harsh California community property rules)," Arum said. "I've always considered Shane to be a nice guy but this is what happens to fighters when they age."

            So um who's the cherry picker?

              Mayweather Jr.
              rejected that 50-50;
              but hey,
              he's more than willing
              to get interviewed by 50 cents!

              Now another 50!

              that's 50-0!
              ah think,
              that's 50-50 chances,
              it can be!

              with weight limit
              hey, that's another 50!
              150lbs!

              no Pacman?
              no Martinez?
              oh yeah,

                  May and B-Hop are two financially different fighters. At 35, B-Hop had his first really big win, big money fight against Trinidad. 35 was basically, as I see it, Hopkins finally entering the big stage.

                  Floyd however, at 35, has made more money than any other active fighter. You ask Floyd if he'd fight until 40, I'm pretty sure he'd say "for what?". Hopkins has said it time after time, he's now just taking advantage of all the money he didn't make early in his career, he says he's making it now. Floyd is so paid, he shouldn't even be boxing anymore. He's simply boxing cause he loves the sport. Of course he loves money as well, with the lifestyle of his he needs all the money he can get.

                  About who can beat him. Well, who could have beaten Roy Jones when he was 34-35? Did any one ever think it'd be Antonio Tarver? For all we know, some low key fighter like Kell Brook can beat him, or in a rematch with Ortiz, Ortiz can knock Floyd's head off and stop him. At 35, that's it, you can no longer be safe on who can't beat Floyd. But realistically, I don't see any one from 140-160 beating him. Martinez is 50-50 right now for me. Cotto doesn't stand a chance, Pacquiao gets countered to death worse than Marquez did him, Bradley gets outboxed by Floyd.

                    I think it could happen, but I don't think it will. I just don't think he'll make it to 50 fights period. Mayweather's made it clear that he doesn't want to be retired by the sport so I don't see him fighting into his 40's. Also I don't see there being enough names that would bring the money he would need to be enticed into fighting that long. Personally I hope I'm wrong though. I hate the personality but I love watching the man fight.

                      I have lots of criticism for Pac as well, but I will say that every person on your list was a better fighter then what Canelo is, with the exception of Mosley. It really doesn't matter how old Canelo is. What matters is that even if he beats Mosley, he still hasn't fought anyone that would make him a creditable fight for Floyd. He is still a "C" fighter. It gets frustrating watching Pac and Floyd fighting "B" fighters, but when they start fighting "C" fighters, that is what you call scraping the bottom of the bucket for an easy win. That isn't even Friday Night Fights worthy. It blows my mind to think they are going to try to sell that crap on PPV.
