    Default So what is Joan Guzman doing?

    Has there been any news lately, I know he was calling out Nate Campbell.

    There's got to be a fight for him somewhere, although promoters tend to have the "he's boring" line down pat, pathetic.

    He needs to move, he's got P4P ability, no more time to waste.

    I've heard HBO is pushing for Diaz/Casamayor and Campbell/Guzman. As much as I want Casa to rematch Campbell, I still like the idea of Nate and Guzman fighting.

    I like Nate but I don't think that's a good matchup for him. Hopefully his promoters disagree.

    Anyone who says he's boring loses all credibility for me. I agree he's P4P talent I think he might be the most talented fighter in boxing with Floyd retired. I really hope he fights soon his inactivity is killing me more then Winky's since he's in his prime.

    His inactivity is a joke.

    He obviously can't land certain fights because he is too good for his own good, and can be avoided (i agree..labeling him with the boring tag is pathetic ) but his attitude (weight making problems) is poor

    Good point. It would be much more pathetic for promoters to label him as boring or a non commodity, if he didn't bring it upon himself by giving people reasons to be hesitant to work with him.. He's failed to make weight and/or pulled out of several fights now to my knowledge. I really want to see him in a big fight as well, it's annoying. He could, and probably would beat anyone at lightweight currently if you ask me.

    I wouldn't go as far as boring, because he's got the goods. It just seems like at time's he's coasting and doing just enough to win rounds. He's not a finisher, but to each his own. He is very fast, he also is a Mayweather clone, the style resemblance is almost the same.

    As per Dan Rafael of ESPN.COM-

    The Champ, Casamayor has until tomorrow to sign Don King's contract for a fight with Campbell. (as per the WBO purse bid). If Casamayor decides to fight Juan Diaz instead, then the WBO will strip him of his interim-title and make Guzman the Mandatory for Campbells WBO title.

    Accordingly, Guzman is waiting to find out what Casamayor decides, before making his next move.

    Also, there is a good chance that if Casamayor takes the Diaz fight and Cambell takes the JMM fight, Guzman will fight for the vacant WBO title.

    I think he'd beat anyone around the weight.

    Although he's so inactive it wont be a surprise if he loses it all of a sudden.

    On kind of a related note, has anyone seen Guzman's brother in action? I've seen videos of him sparring and he looks very good, a lot like his brother. I don't remember his name though. He also has a prospect that is very good too but somehow both their names are slipping my mind somehow right now.
