Jermaine Taylor was not a cherry picker, although he spoke like one after his fights. - 'I'm going where the money's at'
Ricky Hatton was up until his split with Frank Warren.
Joe Calzaghe all the way up until his split with Frank Warren AND until the present day.
Eubank was - Despite me being an ignorant child when he was boxing and believing that he was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Didn't know about Jones, Toney etc.
Sure Mayweather has had some easy fights, but I would not have considered DLH at 154, and Ricky Hatton, and Zab Judah, and probably not Gatti either for that matter, as cherry picking.
Well apart from Dela Hoya which i give him full credit, Judah

He just got beat by Baldomir who Floyd then fights and who is the worst champion at 147, he fights Hatton at 147 Hatton is not a 147 fighter he fights at 140.
He fights Gatti but doesnt fight Kosta,Hatton or Cotto at 140.
At 147 he fights Baldomir and doesnt fight fighters like Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Williams.
