    I'd use the same criteria that fighters have been using for 100 years to pick their fights: risk vs. reward.

    Assuming I'm an up and coming prospect, of course the obvious I would want to fight the big names, because I stand to gain more financially and in rank. Of course that means the guys at the top of the sport with the biggest fan support: Mayweather, Pac, Ward, Martinez, Froch, ect.

    There are also cash-cows who have a lot of fan support, who even though aren't ranked at the top, could still offer a lot of heat and cash if you fight them. Guys like JCC Jr. Gatti was a great example of this (a fact that Floyd Mayweather exploited).

    Guys I don't want to fight are big risk fighters who offer little to average reward. We all know who these guys are. Lara is a great example, GGG used to be it but since he's gotten so much press lately I think he's moved into the "high risk/high reward" catagory.
    Paul Williams was a great example in his prime.

    Bernard Hopkins, even though he's a huge name in the sport, is now in this catagory IMO due to his age. Beat him and people will say "ah well, he finally got old", and on the other hand he has the ability to make you look like utter shit, so I wouldn't wanna fight Bhop.

    Assuming I was well over 8 feet tall, allowed to wear armour, and had large serrated knives fused between the tendons in my hands wolverine style, I would fight convicted rapists and child molesters who would otherwise scare me a lot.

    A member (not saying who) told me that a couple other members (not saying who) have those pump up plastic dollies that they glue different fighters faces (not saying who) on and then beat the hell out of them.

    Hey! It takes all kinds to make the world go round, and it keeps them off the street.

    Want to fight...

    Old RJJ, because he is chinny and I have a good straight left

    Not want to fight...

    Audley Harrison, because even for me it is embarrassing to lose to ol A Farce.
