    Hey don't be such a dick.

    I've yet to see the fight, and I doubt Guerrero threw it, but he may have/did con his way into getting the fight.

    Don't think I really am being one, its just the reality of this. If Guerrero wasn't worthy of the fight beforehand that's even less reason to buy it, surely? Meanwhile this is a post from a guy who claims to HATE Mayweather on a personal level, while he is exactly the guy making him so much money regardless of the opponents he picks. The irony is funny to me, that's all.

    First of all, yes you were being a dick.
    Secondly, look up the definition of irony, it's a tricky word and commonly misused.

    The guy probably didn't mean that Guerrero threw it for Floyd to win, he likely meant that maybe Guerrero just accept losing for the decent payday without getting hurt or knocked out.

    Didn't seem the usual from him, and Floyd wasn't doing anything special.

    Yes he was. I don't even like him, but I appreciate his skills . He had an amazing performance.

    It was an utterly predictable result, Guerrero isn't really capable of anything that would've made it a close fight. If somebody hates Mayweather for his "money" persona and the perceived cherry picking of opponents, yet is swayed by pre fight hype to the point where they will actually buy his a PPV in hopes of seeing him lose to an inferior fighter, that is ironic.

    Again, not ironic, irony is split into categories, this don't fit any of them. But I understand why someone as, ehh, "special" as you is having difficulty.

    Look it up yourself Alanis Morissette! <~~~ Now that is irony.

    I was very disappointed with Guerrero’s performance but do not think he threw the fight. I think he accepted the easy route and pay day and did not give his all in that fight. Guerrero was hyping up the fight to get better PPV sales. Floyd is back to his boring best and he can never knock out an opponent who he cannot sucker punch.

    No one is going to be happy unless floyd is in a castillo type fight (when he happend to be injured).

    It shows a lack of respect for robert as well who put it all on the line in his own way.

    No one knows what its like to be in the ring with someone like mayweather, and what type of sparring partners can robert get to imitate floyds movements and timing.

    Roberts first sparring session was on may 4th but it happened to be the actual fight as well!

    You wont see no one else doing that to guerrero and i see guerrero beating ortiz and possibly any other welterweight out there.

    yeah, midway i think guerrero realizes he has no chance of landing a good one on floyd and whenever he tries too hard he's the one who's in danger of being knocked out, so by the end of the fight you can see a content smile on guerrero having survived and taking home a nice payday.

    In the words of Harry Hoo "Amazing"

    Floyd makes every opponent look second rate, by round 3 Mayweather had already worked Guerrero out and was in cruise control. This isn't the first time, Guerrero isn't alone here.

    If you give any boxer a 6 fight deal they will take the easiest fights available to make the money, Eubanks and Audley did it, so is Floyd. Mayweather should be made to fight out of his comfort zone.

    Buyers remorse I suppose. Hey, I payed the same...the first ppv I've purchased in at least 2 years. But it wasn't so much to see Mayweather get his chin checked as it was on paper a quality and deep card. As it turns out the best fight ironically was the 1st between Love v Rosado?! I did give Guerrero the slightest chance, and I think he did all he could and never pussed out..but a plan imagined is far different from a plan ventured. He didn't throw it, Mayweather just threw more.

    You shouldn't underestimate what Floyd does, even if it looks mundane.

    Everything he does is special.

    What I will say though, is that Floyd kinda did a great job of hyping up and promoting what turned out to be a glorified tune-up.

    By winning titles in 2 different divisions and than beating 2 top 10 welterweights. A lot more fighters should con there way into fights like that. Guerrero might not of belonged in the ring with Mayweather but he earned the right
