Mayweather vs. Guerrero is Close To Done For May 4th - Boxing News
As expected. What do you guys think of this one? I hear Canelo will be the co-feature, so I think if Mayweather beats Guerrero and Alvarez wins his fight, they'll fight in September.

Mayweather vs. Guerrero is Close To Done For May 4th - Boxing News

This is an easy fight. The only way Guerrero could make it otherwise is if he's allowed to pull the same kind of crap he was against Berto, and given Floyds clout there is about no chance at all of this. I like Guerrero but he has absolutely nothing for Floyd, will be a matter of whether he is stopped or not. Canelo is as good an opponent as anyone outside of Martinez though, that I would look forward to.
With respect I imagine Aydin and Berto thought the same thing. After all he was a powder puff light weight. Wrong he was a welter that fought at 135. His ko ratio is irrelevant as he just proved in the last half a year. He's a legitimate fighter of the year imo.Quote:

Booo doubters...boooo ;D Seriously though...I dont mind this one at all and actually look forward to it! Guerrero has earned his spot and I wouldn't call what he did to Berto crap at all..he whipped his ass and beat him at his own game. Badly. Not bad for a guy moving two divisions up...legitimately.
I see Mayweather on the cards yeh. The Ghost isn't outboxing Mayweather and if he lays inside his heart and will should be wearing gloves as well. But he'll grind, he'll guile and he'll continue to feed off of what got him here recently...doubt and drive. I won't be shocked to see him rough Mayweather up more than he was vs Cotto...his last fight...where he actually looked human. Hell...let Canelo sit ringside. Given his last couple of ring appearences and how the "sure thing opponent" got turned on his head I'm sure Guerrero won't mind a bit ;D I'll be rooting ten times as hard if Canelo is actually fighting Cotto :-X
Got no problem with the fight. Guerrero earned it. He might not win it but he'll be competitve
I'm not saying he will win but he sure surprised many people so far and he had me siting on the edge of my chair too. This year there were a great deal of changes. Like Floyd Patterson said before Sonny Liston got him in the first round, he said,"We'll see!"
Hope this fight takes place at 147 which should atleast make it a little more competetive. Guerrero gets hit too much though.
have no prob with the fight at all, Guerrero has actually earned his shot and has proven that he's only after the best, calling out top fighters to their face and picking good opposition to put him in position to do so, he called out the Mayweather wannabe and all he did was turn away and talk shit once Guerrero wasn't around, and yes IMO Guerrero beats Broner
Mayweather will probably outbox him and do it relatively easy, but after all the shit Robert Guerrero has been through in and out of the ring the guy pretty much deserves the big fight
I agree he should be high on the fighter of the year list, that he deserves a shot at Floyd but it's hard for me to give him a real chance against Floyd.Quote:

Have to agree, as much as I like Guerrero he has no chance against Money. A lot of fighters I would have preferred to see Guerrero fight instead of Mayweather, but I'd say they could still happen if he loses.
I don't disagree, it's just that Aydin and Berto aren't in the same universe as Mayweather, it doesn't really matter what they thought. Having said that it's a perfectly logical fight and I'm sure it will be fun, Guerrero can box very well and he's a southpaw so Floyd will probably force the action as often as not.Quote:

No doubt. Floyd had some issues with Corley and Judah and its widely known that the Mayweathers do not like southpaws as a rule. Well not including Ortiz who seemed more inclined to stick his tongue down Floyds throat.Quote:

I do like Guerrero's grit though - that fight with Berto was nasty, yet beautiful at the same time.
