I think from a stylistic standpoint, a win over a boxer as talented as Guzman, even if he doesn't have a high profile, would tell A LOT about Pacquiao. Remember, he's been outboxed twice before against two of the purer boxers in the division in Marquez and Morales.

But they are more the boxer-puncher type, Guzman is pure Havoline. A win over a very slick boxer like Guzman would really help Pacquiao when you really pick apart his record. He's fought the all action fighters like Soto before, but never someone like Guzman.

I would give a lot of respect to Pacquiao if he fought Guzman. I think it's going to be Soto though. Not that's bad, it will be an action fight but I would rather it be Guzman.
I would prefer guzman after a jmm rematch too, I do think guzman is the best behind pac and jmm now that jmm took mab out the picture.

a win over guzman is a new win for pacman because of what you mentioned and I totally agree. The thing is we don't know if it really will be harder on pacman fighting a guy like guzman or fighting the likes of war veteran who have no choice but to abondon all game plans and the heck with it. I'm not so sure if it may be easier or harder for pac to beat a guzman because, what if guzmans game plan don't go as smooth. What will guzman do? can he trade with pac, what I'm sure of is guzman will be force to trade at some part of the fight. guzman is going to have to make sure those trade are short and quick and he needs to move right afterwards. If guzman isn't slick enough consistantly his going to get ktfo by pacman.

Remember guys guzman is 31, he just made it to the bigs if his as good as we think he is, how come it took him so long to make it big?
