Can you name a Cherry Picker?

maybe I'm a little too cycnical with my money comments. It's a worthwhile debate topic. Sure these guys like to prove themselves, most of them anyway. Just that some fighters seem to get singled out out as cherry pickers, when in fact many others are also guilty to a certain degree, to maximize there shot at a big money bout. Human nature I guess.

I don't think you're being too cynical.

Bomp's post above sums it up nicely. It's about situations. Everyone is looking for their best money option. Glen Johnson wouldn't be traveling to other fighters backyards if he could sell tickets at home. He can't. So goes where the money is. A fighter like Sven Ottke could sell 20,000 tickets and have millions watching in Germany everytime he fought. So why should he leave?

Boxing is all about money. The risk/reward factor comes into every match made. Great fighters only match-up when the money is right. Sometimes great fighters take more dangerous matches when they lose their position at the top.
