CHERRY PICKIN? FLOYD MUST BE REFERRING TO GUERRERO OR MORALES WHEN HE SAID ?MAY 5th, LET?S DO IT?

Here we go again. Gosh, when will it ever end!
Floyd Mayweather Jr, the big mouth from Grand Rapids, Michigan is at it again.
While it is true that he is undefeated, such feat can be achieved rather easily if one cherry picks his opponents. And, I believe he is one of the biggest cherry-pickers in modern times. That I need not elaborate as everyone who is worth his grain of salt in boxing know that he casually avoided a lot of guys who could have given him his first ?0?.
Now he is at it again trumpeting his undefeated record.
Lame!
Floyd indicated that he is now ready to fight on May 5th. And he is saying ?let?s do it.?
But the big loud mouth is not indicating in any manner shape or form that he wants it to be against Manny Pacquiao. He left that part for everyone to make their own conclusions.
I for one believe that he must be referring to Robert Guerrero or Eric Morales.
Who else can he cherry pick on May 5th, the Great Mexican Holiday?
Surely he would never face a new boy in the block who is very hot - Canelo Alvarez.
He knows that Canelo is no Victor Ortiz and will possibly put his butt on the canvas.
The Cotto-Margarito winner?
No chance. With the broken truce between Arum and the folks at Golden Boy, that is not going to happen.
Sergio Martinez?
No way!
Floyd is scared as hell to even mention that possibility. Martinez who is in search for a bigger exposure will surely go all out and shatter the myth of Mayweather.
If Floyd really wants to fight Pacquiao anytime soon, he should say it in plain simple English.
Hey Floyd, this may help. Read it aloud. It?s a very simple sentence to read. I know you can do it.
?I want to fight Manny Pacquiao on May 5th without any stupid pre-conditions.?
Now that wasn?t too hard, huh?
