Horsehockey! In Margarito's case Manny had some advatages to offset Margarito's. In Sergio's case I think Manny has none to offset Sergio's massive size advantage.
Cherry picking would be avoiding guys your own size. Unless you want to make the case Marvin Hagler cherry picked because he didn't move up to face Mike Spinks or that Carlos Monzon cherry picked because he didn't challenge Bob Foster or Carlos Ortiz cherry picked because he didn't challenge Jose Napoles. You want to try to make those cases?
Manny is ALREADY fighting guys considerably larger and now you want him to move two MORE divisions?
Please name me all the fighters in history who have successfully fought across ten of today's divisions or the equivalent. When you run out of names before you run out of fingers? Think again how reasonable it is to be called a cherry picjker for not go up two MORE divisions.
