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.

Having a good resume and not being a cherry picker do not neccesarily go hand in hand.

Pacquiao has a great resume with a long list of quality names BUT he is absolutely 100% a cherry picker. You only have to hear Roach speak to know that.

Agreed about JT - When everybody was pissing on him for his bad performances, I was thinking "but look at who the Fcuk he's fought!"

A lot of fighters mentioned Malignaggi, I can't think of any he's cherry picked or ducked

Unfortunately I think some top fighters will see Taylor as an example of what happens when u take on tough opponent after tough opponent. he went from arguably the top young fighter in the world to shot and pretty much finished in a few short years.

All of the above mentioned and Ali Funeka just came to mind due to me bitching about Guzman in the other thread.
