Why doesn't Manny cherry pick at this point?

[Fat_asian]

We all know whoever gets the call to fight Manny is boxing's way of winning the jackpot. In the sweepstakes there were more inferior fighters, Thurman 2 Mikey g Danny g but dang Manny has to call out the best in the division! Pound for pound bud is the number 1 guy. For those who exclaim that Pacquiao doesn't have large heoves is dead wrong!

Your thoughts?

Manny’s never been a cherry picker.
He’s always fought tough fights.
His resume is ridiculous.

He wants a big payday so he’s probably thinking Spence or Crawford, maybe Mikey.

Thurman rematch does nothing for him. Already beat him, and the sales would be less.

Props man, for calling it like it is

Manny has been cherrpicking ever since he's been at welterweight. Thats why he's never been lineal or beaten the #1 guy in the division until he fought for the vacant lineal title in 2016 once floyd retired.

• Fought Cotto only one year removed from being stopped by Marg. Mosley was the real welterweight champion at the time but pac didn't want it
• Fought Clottey coming off a loss, and ducked foyd by backing out of the fight.
• Fought Margarito who was coming off a terrible performance and 1 fight removed from getting KO'd by Mosley. Wasn't a champion at the time he fought pac
• Fought Mosley coming off a two fight winless streak
• Fought Marquez at welterweight and robbed him in the process
• Fought bum ass algeri
• Was finally willing to fight Floyd after floyd had two tough fights with Maidana
• Fought paper champ jessie vargas
• Horn was a cherrypick gone wrong
• Fought Broner coming off of 2 fight winless streak
• Fought Thurman who almost got KO'd by Lopez in the previous fight coming off a 2 year layoff due to injuries.

He is cherry picking. Look at his fights since he won the WBO welterweight title in 2016.

Keith Thurman- Thurman had just come off a long layoff due to injury and was almost knocked out by Josesito Lopez in the fight before he went in against Pacquiao.

Adrien Broner- In the three fights prior to the fight with Pacquiao, Broner fought to a draw with Jessie Vargas (a guy Pacquiao beat 12 rounds to nothing), lost a one sided decision to Mikey Garcia (a lightweight) and won a highly controversial decision over Adrian Granados. Broner probably should have been 0-3 but managed to go 1-1-1. He was the easiest name fighter Pacquiao could fight.

Lucas Matthysse- Prior to the Pacquiao fight, Matthysse won the WBA regular belt over Tewa Kiram, a no name. The fight that was heading towards a split decision verdict before Matthysse landed a knockout punch. I thought he was way behind and so did one other judge.

In his two fights before Kiram, Matthysse fought at 147 for the first time and knocked out a guy who had never fought at 147 before. He also got destroyed by Viktor Postol.

Jeff Horn- Horn went into the Pacquiao fight with 17 pro fights and was supposed to be a victim in a cash grab cherry pick.

Who was a bigger cherry pick--Berto or Thurman?

[nubianpiye]

Manny is a cherry picker he's been that way since moving to Welterweight. He's one of the biggest cherry pickers going he usually fights guys who have lost in there last two

[hugh grant]

So many people still threatened by pac. So belittling him and attacking him. Even after all he's done?
A little kid thinking of becoming a pro boxer, wants to become great, but realisticly know being as good as pac isn't on the cards, might have 2 nd thoughts because even achieving as much as Pac has you can still get disrespected this badly it might be worth taking up different sport.

manny has been picking cherries for quite a long time.

3.5 Year Run of pointless matchups:

Over the hill Broner

Shot Lucas

Jeff Horn

Jessie Vargas

Timmeh, whom he already bested twice comfortably each time


Not to mention manny's waiting Shane out and picking margarito for a bogus title.

All these are better than Floyd s last opponents. SS m was a cherry pick But Pac only took it to prove how past prime the s am Floyd beat was and that he can beat him more dominant without nearly being koed by 39 year old.
Pac isn't under any illusions it's a great win
