Vic Darchinyan will fight a HW if they would let him...
Glen Johnson has never ducked anyone.....
Shane Mosley...Pacquiao...Winky Wright.....
Still though I think DLH easily holds the most impressive resume of the last 20 years easy in terms of quality opponents faced in a row

JMM has to be giving his a run for his money, fought both p4p #1 fighters of his day (Mayweather, Pacquiao x2), the #1 Lightweight in the world (Casamayor), the #2 Lightweight in the world (Diaz), the #1 Featherweight in the world (John), the #2 Featherweight in the world (Juarez), throw in solid challenges in Jandaeng and Jaca, that's a pretty solid consistent resume, even if these guys don't have the star power of ODLH's resume.

Re: Can you name current fighters who seem to disdain the notion of cherry picking?
I think there's a lot of fighters being named who you could make arguments have cherry-picked or avoided certain fighters. Let me be clear, these aren't all points I agree with, but Pacquiao has been accused of ducking Mayweather, Guzman and Campbell & he most definitely cherry-picked with David Diaz. Mosley has been said to have avoided Mayweather and Paul Williams. JMM has been accused of avoiding a fight with Amir Khan (I know), even a guy like Adamek has been accused of avoiding a rematch with Steve Cunningham. I think to say someone hasn't cherry-picked you have to come up with a guy who there could be no possible argument about him avoiding somebody, which for me boils down to
Glen Johnson
Vic Darchinyan
Winky Wright
Jermain Taylor
Jhonny Gonzalez
Carl Froch
Chad Dawson
Now, at least 2 of those guys (Vic & Froch) I dislike with a passion, however they have consistently taken on the toughest out there. I think Devon Alexander & Tim Bradley also show the potential to be chasing the toughest fights and ducking nobody.

Almaz Assanov, 1-7, has fought Sod Looknongyangtoy, Saohin Srithai Condo, Somsak Sithchatchawal and Ratanachai Sor Vorapin.
Their total won-lost record coming against Assanov was an eyepopping 199-24-1. Assanov has to be the toughest fighter in the world with a 1-7 record.

Alphonso Gomez. Curiously, he can tell his grandcildren that he retired both Gatti and Castillo.

I would definitely agree with Jermaine Taylor, if only all fighters took on all comers like him. Pacman is definitely another.....
