Thread: Can Guerrero beat Floyd?

I know this is a generic thread but ...... Well I don't need to give you a reason.


My answer is, anybody is beatable.

Floyd apparently has slowed it he legs department, Guerrero is a good fighter and only one shot is needed to win any fight.

I've never, ever been a fan of Floyd's style or his out ring arrogance, I just don't believe he is what boxing is about, but that is only my opinion.

I'd take Shannon Briggs and Frank Bruno beating the shit out of each other for 12 rounds in a 20 seater pub if I had that as a choice before I'd watch Mayweather vs Guerrero but alas, that is not an option so I'll probably watch it.


However I see this fight going the same way as Floyd's last 43 fights.... And why?

2 words..... Michael Katsidis.


I watched Guerrero beat him in a 12 round UD and my theory is that if he could not stop the very easy to hit Katsidis, he won't stop Floyd because he won't get anywhere near half as many hits in as he did against the tough Aussie.

And I don't see him out pointing Floyd.


So my answer is, anybody is beatable, but Guerrero won't be the one to beat Floyd.

.....UNFORTUNATELY!

I agree - I think Floyd IS on the wane and would LOVE to see him knocked out but even when hurt vs mosely he clung on as though he was a china chinned champ who had to learn this to get through each fight - it was actually so impressive.

Despite the fact that I think Cotto got a draw against mayweather I dont think Guerrero has the power or the skills to trouble floyd, but I do think he will come unstuck very soon if he picks the wrong fight

Guerrero had hell in beating Berto who ain't PBF. Floyd will get beat one day if he don't bale out before he's past it, it difficult to see Robert doing it.

No Floyd is the ghostbuster, Guerrero has no chance.

I'd be very surprised if Roberto was the one to beat Floyd, but everyone has their expiration date as a top level fighter, Floyd is certainly closer to that than he used to be. HOWEVER I think Floyd wins a decision.

No way. I don't see anyone at 147 or below that can beat Floyd at this moment in time.

I obviously agree.

But, robert has the speed, the youth and the heart.

Floyd might suddenly grow old in the ring and just not pull the trigger.
He might try to fight and get caught.

This is a tough one for floyd but he will make the adjustments. I truly believe all the fights we have seen floyd fight he doesnt even have to give 100% he just does enough as his skill level is just soo above all these fighters.

Hopefully he retires 50-0.

Don't think that is going to happen. Hey, anything is possible, it could happen. If Floyd hangs around long enough it will happen.

We can only but hope that Floyd stands and fights and that his legs are shot but I highly doubt it.

I would never say a fighter has NO CHANCE...but Guerrero has a better chance of winning the lottery. He doesn't have the skill set nor the speed to match up with Floyd. I have a strong feeling that Floyd is going to punish him badly.

I gotta disagree about Robert having the speed to cause Floyd any problems. He does not posses exceptional speed...especially in his foot movement.

I rewatched Guerreros fight with Berto. I think it showed what a warrior he is. He might have a chance of winning if it turns into a brawl but I'm sure Floyd will keep this a Floyd fight. If Floyd thought there was a chance he might lose he would not go near the fight although I wonder if his new contract with Showtime will have any effect on his usual cherry picking.

50-50 fight. Guerrero has an excellent chance at beating Floyd

He needs to fight him like he did Berto. Crowd him. Smother him. Hold and hit him. He needs to make it dirty. I think Guerrero has a point when he says Mayweather is losing his legs. There's truth to that. Factor in the incarceration/inactivity and it's unrealistic to think Mayweather is gonna have an easy time with Guerrero
