    Please. Why should he fight Thurman? Thurman is now one of the most overrated fighters on earth and a sloppy fighter to boot. He's not in the same league and would be a step back for Guerrero.
    Guerrero just moved up two weight classes and beat Aydin, slapped the shit out of Berto and fought Floyd.

    And Thurman?
    I like Thurman and I hope he goes further than Berto did.
    He's ok but this ducking inference is crazy. Why would he risk all that he has worked for against some mouthy upstart that has barely got his feet wet in this market?
    In that case why is the Ghost not taking the fight?
    Cause there is nothing in it for him.
    Ghost lost a lot of credibility against Floyd he needs to earn it back and fighting a young, hungry up and coming welter like Thurman would be perfect.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Cant agree brother. Losing to Floyd does not lose him cred even if he looked like a tree in cement. His jumping up two and beating who he did to get that shot is pretty historic. He can still get on a ppv undercard with his accomplishments thus far. Thurman might make the non televised portion. Just to much to risk. If this was 1940 sure but the whole aspect of risk and reward has been rewritten. Its just the way this market works. I'd agree with you 100% if this was a different marketplace.

    Guerrero has won titles in 3 weight classes. 4 if you count his interim title. His credibility is just fine

    No point for The Ghost to be a stepping stone for Thurman. I think there are bigger fights for him (Guerrero) like Broner, Brook, Alexander, Ortiz or even Malignaggi. I think a Thurman vs Berto fight would be great to watch or Jesse Vargas.

    *If I never see Guerro fight again, I miss nothing. the guy is an average fighter, at best. nothing special.
    it amazes me that anyone can make anything of his fight with May... the guy was lackluster before the fight..and lackluster during the fight. U know what Canelo would do to this guy? Canelo ends his f*ken career inside of 5 rounds.

    I always felt this way about the Ghost. He's an average fighter. Nothing more, nothing less. Mayweather's defenses against Ortiz and Guerrero were weak. I'm not saying that with 20/20 hindsight either. I said that before the fights.

    With that said, there are three fights Guerrero should try to make and none of them include Thurman: Broner (just for the money), Maidana because he's incredibly overrated at 147 in my opinion and just waiting to get picked off, and Ortiz because it's a winnable fight for Guerrero and it might be the biggest $ fight out there besides Mayweather.

    Exactly and Thurman is in a mandatory position in two governing bodies, He will be able to execute that right after Maidana if he wants to fight Broner or he can get the winner of Desert Breeze/Marquez. A guy like Berto would be a perfect fight and Berto needs it worse then he does.

    I understand @Master point though. By beating this new killer on the block Guerrero possibly could possibly score more money in the future and up his profile no doubt. But imo not enough to warrant it at this time. Now if Guerrero loses his next fight then sure.

    Guerrero won't get big money again. Maidana v Guerrero would not attract many as neither by themselves are big draws. Broner maybe but he's just getting into a fight he can't win there. If I was him I wouldn't fight Thurman either but it's not to do with money. Guerrero takes a beating. I'd like to see him fight Soto Karass. Fun fight and winner would prob get a title shot

    Cant agree. I think Guerrero beats him. But that's not even relevant in this marketplace. Its basic economics coupled with not making any sense to fight him in the position he has worked himself into.
    Thurman brings zip to the table and should Thurman pull it out, Guerreros career would pretty much be over. Thurman should be thinking about his two mandatory plays coming up and plan a fight that prepares him for the winner of one or the other. So imo that's either Broner or Marquez.

    What do you mean he brings zip? Who should Guerrero fight next? I heard Berto, Ortiz, Alexander, Brook mentioned? A Thurman fight would be just as high profile as any of them and the money would just be as good too. A loss to Thurman wouldn't be as damaging to his career as a loss to any of those guys.

    He brings no money and no legacy. That is what I mean by zip. A loss to Thurman would end his career. He's already been there by beating Aydin and following it up by boot stomping Berto ending with a 3 million dollar payday with Floyd. Why would he go back to the trenches to fight Thurman?

    Btw sorry to hear about Seamus Heaney.
