guerrero takes this one by knockout. john was almost ko'd by juarez and guerrero is a much better boxer with better power.
Yes, but Guerrero was getting outboxed by Daud Yordan before he bitched out. John is a much better boxer than Yordan.Quote:

Hell yeah this is a great matchup. I'm really looking forward to this. John is very dangerous for a long fighter like Guerrero because of his hand speed and lateral movement.
For Guerrero : How would he have done against Yordan if he would have continued? Bottom line is we, can speculate endlessly about it but we will never know.
For John : How would he have done against Juarez if Rocky started fighting before the 12th round? Again we can only speculate, because we know Juarez refuses to put any effort forth before the championship rounds.
With that being said, I think stylistically this is very much a 50/50 fight.
Listen, Cotto fought through worse cuts to beat Clottey as have many other fighters. Guerrero knew he was in for a long night against Yordan and that is why he stopped. Why hasn't he fought Yordan since then? He won't fight Yordan. That is the bottom line.Quote:

This Chris John fight could be very bad for him though.
rantcatrat,
yeah, yordan might have surprised him with his speed but i will guarantee you a guerrero victory should they ever fight again. now that guerrero is the world champion you can bet he's going to come in completely focused. guerrero by ud or ko
amat,
and looking at yordan's record, sure he's undefeated at 25-0 19 KO's with a nice shiney record but who has he fought? sure he might have surprised guerrero with his speed but i think sooner or later guerrero would have figured him out and beaten him. tell you what, go tell yordan to challenge guerrero for guerrero's title. remember, robert is the champion not yordan. yordan has to make a challenge to guerrero and i guarantee you guerrero will whip that ass.
is this the same chris john who defeated juan manuel marquez? if so, guerrero in trouble here.
That was a very questionable decision. Although I agree that this is a very difficult fight for Guerrero.Quote:

Think John can frustrate the helz out of Guerrero.Have questions still about Guerreros mental make up,way to much emphasis put on that "I fought with a cut..see" against punching bag Hinojosa but his game is def stepping up.
difficult fight for guerrero if it does happens but i read news today that chris john won't go up to 130 to fight guerrero. so actually there's no fight at all.Quote:

Daud Yordan rematch would be more interesting imo.
