Mayweather vs Guerrero

[CFH]

This is a horrible fight and I would have almost no interest in watching it if it gets made.

If mayweather loses half his fans for this bull shit fight I won't be surprised. I honestly will be one of them.

Guerrero and Alvarez aren't ready for Mayweather if they ever will be. Ortiz wasn't close to ready for Mayweather and he at least has one legit win over a top ranked boxer at 147. Neither Guerrero or Alvarez has one win over a top guy at that weight class. Would Guerrero even beat Ortiz or Berto? I don't believe so. Would Guerrero even beat Bradley? I don't think so. Guerrero is lucky if he gets this pay day and more power to him for taking on a challenge, maybe its not his fault, but he doesn't deserve it.

Sergio Martinez at 154 is the fight to be made if it is not Manny Pacquiao. Hell, frankly, I see Sergio Martinez versus Floyd Mayweather at 154 more competitive than Manny Pacquiao versus Floyd Mayweather at 147. The other fights that would make sense are the Ortiz/Berto II winner or Miguel Cotto.

Alvarez is 22. He's been champion for less than a year. He should clean up the junior middleweight division and learn his craft first before facing someone like Floyd. Not that I'd put him down for not taking the chance for 7 figures, of course.

BUT he's a lightweight Bilbo. I know Floyd will want a bigger challenge than this..The only time has done this was against Marquez and he's an exception because he is proven awesome. Plus it was a return from a lay-off. Floyd will go Canelo over Guererro..watch.

Canelo makes much more commercial sense it is true. Easy fight to hype, unlike Guerero who is virtually unknown in casual circles. I think Guerero is the harder fight though.

this fight IMO is just as bad and just as disappointing as Mosley/Pacquiao and Pacquiao/Clottey

No surprise there. Guerrero isn't a popular fighter and not that well known. So therefore he must not be that good a fighter, right?

He's a good fighter, but he's much smaller than Mayweather and I don't think he'll pose much of a threat. I also think that it will be something of a boring style match-up, but maybe Mayweather will press the action.

[Gandalf]

Oh dear. This in an unfortunate choice of opponent. I have nothing against Guerrero, who I happen to think is a very good fighter, but he hasn't made a name for himself yet and most certainly is not WW.

Shame on Mayweather if this turns out to be who he is fighting. He deserves his criticism a lot of the time and he will no doubt get a lot more for this.

my point exactly, I already said it's more of a knock on Mayweather rather than on Guerrero, Robert has better fights for him at 135 and 140 rather than face a bigger and technically better Mayweather 2 divisions north, he should just fight Rios at 140 but leave it to VD to try and make his dude the victim

Like I said before I rather see Mayweather fight either Pacquiao or Martinez first. But obviously that ain't happening. It's easy to throw out a bunch of names and say fight them. But that just shows ones true ignorance on how the sport works. Some of the names I read mentioned are just dumb and make no sense.

Victor Ortiz & Andre Berto: Ortiz-Berto fight in February. There first fight was a brutal war. Good chance the rematch will be the same. There is no way either fighter would be ready to fight in May. To ask Mayweather (who already is way to inactive) to wait on them is unrealistic. Super Star fighters don't wait on opponents.

Miguel Cotto and Tim Bradley: Look at the trouble Mayweather has had dealing with Top Rank regarding a Pacquiao fight. No way he's gonna bother going through all that for Cotto or Bradley?

Marcus Maidana: People already crying about Guerrero. Madinana would be an even bigger mismatch than a Guerrero fight would be. Jesus Christ the man was bothered by Erik Morales hand speed. Yet some think he'll do better Guerrero?

Lamont Peterson & Erislandy Lara: I saw these names mentioned today. So now Floyd needs to go knocking on doors to get a fight? Guerrero has shown he wants the fight. When the fuck has Peterson or Lara ever, even mentioned they want to face Mayweather? They shown no interest what's so ever. And neither one is even close to big enough for Mayweather to chase.

He's a very good fighter. A very good lightweight. Who has been out with an injury and surgery for the past year. And who has never been in the ring with a world class fighter (though there are several world class lightweight and junior welterweight fighters I think he could beat, preferably after a tuneup).

Mayweather will end up fighting Canelo anyway, so this discussion is kind of academic.

Floyd Mayweather Jr jail term delayed for May fight | Mail Online

Going by reports today, his jail sentance has been postponed until June 1st, so this can possibly set-up the chance of the Manny fight in May. Makes perfect sense as neither boxer has been penciled in for a fight yet. Just saying.

What im I saying, the fight will never happen

Yes, take out the weight class discussion and the same criticisms of a fight with Guerrero exist for Canelo.

VD - you may be confused. The problems with this fight aren't Guerrero's fault. He should make his $ and no one will blame him for taking the fight. The problem is that he isn't close to good enough or proven to face the top p4p fighter in the world 12 pounds north of his present division. Guerrero isn't even ranked in Mayweather's own division or the division below him, and frankly, with wins at lightweight against Kastidis, Escobedo, and Casamayor (where he was put down once), he hasn't exactly done very much at lightweight either. All together, there is nothing at all to suggest he is ready for Mayweather at 147.
