Is Guzman still fighting?

@Master, yes he technically is, but his last fight was October last year.

He is talented but wasted his best years

Eh you know i think Micheal Moore could of been more then he was he was a great fighter but kinda got disheartened by the Foreman ko i think. The man had ko power and the speed to back it up was a southpaw and could of done a lot of great things but kinda just went off.

Moorer was chinny and a fit Holyfield would have finished him in the first fight. Michael never fought a top 10 fighter to earn his shot. He was maneuvered to the title and George knocking him out was just embarrassing.

I like Merciless Ray Mercer for mention here.

Think moorer if he stayed at 175 longer could oh been better and that goerge fight he really throw that fucking fight just could not back off. I think he is a pretty good heavyweight though i think if he took some more time at 175 and cw he could of been better overall he was not a big heavyweight.

I think the light heavyweight was too small for him and he was struggling to make weight hence why he sparked out everyone quickly. Someone more durable at the weight would have beaten him. Cruiserweight would have been a better weight for a longer career.
