Mayweather vs Guerrero

[CFH]

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

[Abelardus]

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.

My question is who can Floyd fight? Martinez is fighting in March and won't be ready for may, especially to make that fight big enough. If Arum won't let Cotto or Pacquiao face Floyd, then I don't see better options than Geurrero or Alvarez. I mean there are equally good opportunities out there, but not better ones. I mean Arum has Marquez, Bradley, Pacquiao, and Cotto all around his finger, and Amir Khan just lost a close fight, and he deserves less than Guerrero to go up against Mayweather.

Not that the result would be in doubt, but Cotto is a free agent now. That's a better fight than Canelo or Guerrero. Martinez would gladly pay Macklin a step aside fee for the chance to face Floyd. I guarantee that. I'm not even sure the Macklin/Martinez fight has been actually signed due to the confusion surrounding the title situation and the WBC.

Guerrero is a 3 division champion. He's not a fighter without skills or credentials. Like I said he's not the first option I prefer. Or even the 2nd. But I don't see any else being that much of a better option. Guerrero is trying to prove himself against the fighter in the sport today. And he's being bad mouthed for it. Un fucking believable

I agree with VD. I'm really surprised this fight has been made. Guerrero has very little name outside the hardcore but he's probably a far tougher opponent than virtually anyone else out there for Floyd.

I've said many times that I thought Guerrero could be the best of the lightweights, and maybe have the beating of guys like Marquez, Rios, Khan and Bradley.

Floyd is too soon but if he comes to the fight not fully prepared and expecting an easy night I'd give Guerrero a far better shot than most of sticking to a gameplan and frustrating Floy.

I reckon he loses a surprisingly competitive 12 rounder where Floyd looks the worst he has looked since Castillo, gets called out by Max or Larry and storms off without giving an interview.

Guerrero is a top p4p guy just waiting for his opportunity imo.

Guerrero has a little bit less than no chance of winning even a round against floyd. Heck im not even sure if i'd pick him to beat ortiz or berto either for that matter

[Althugz]

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.

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
