Re: Floyd Mayweather vs Robert Guerrero

Comments by Floyd:

"These guys were joking about me going to jail. A week after the fight, it's time for him to do his time."

I don't even fault Floyd for making these comments. He's getting in Guerrero's head.

On the other hand Guerrero might be super motivated. He's no spring chicken and his career will be severely sidetracked if he does a couple of years in the can.

Reminded me of when Floyd brought up Gatti's addiction problems before their fight. I think Guerrero is trying to switch roles. Though I was was kind of laughing at Guerrero for talking about class considering how dirty he fights sometimes.

Re: Floyd Mayweather vs Robert Guerrero

i'm sure floyd is eyeing canelo, but don't sleep on guerrero. he is younger, solid chin and decent power. if he applies pressure for ALL 12 rounds, this could be an interesting fight. can guerrero avoid getting hit? can he hurt floyd? will he be intimidated? maybe he can learn from what ortiz did wrong, what cotto couldn't do, and what marquez did do against manny.

I think you're absolutely right. Guerrero is more skilled and has better conditioning than Canelo. But Canelo is only 22 and is gona get better. Guerrero has better mental makeup than Ortiz and Cotto is past his prime.

Re: Floyd Mayweather vs Robert Guerrero

Beating Berto does not set one up for a fight with FM. RG and his team think it has but they will be sadly mistaken if they think the rough 'em up game plan will work. If they do, it will end very similar to how the Gatti and Hatton fight did. Anyone can be beat, but styles make fights and RG's has proven to be ineffective to this point when going against FM.

Re: Floyd Mayweather vs Robert Guerrero

Guerrero is good but doesn't have the punch or savvy to challenge Floyd.

I would have liked to see RG fight Broner.

Re: Floyd Mayweather vs Robert Guerrero

Can't believe this is less than a week away and a good undercard to boot. Thinking about Guerrero and his chances in a percentage I give him a 35% chance and my reasons:

*I have never seen another fighter come in this calm and confident against Mayweather
*He has endured and stayed focused during times that most men could not
*His only loss was revenged and is undefeated with his pops in the corner
*He has underrated speed, footwork, and power
*I don't think he will get discouraged when he misses or is down rounds
*He isn't afraid to get a little "Bernard Hopkins" in the ring

What do you all think? Am I nuts?

Obviously not, but I would be shocked if Guerrero won.

Floyd's defense is too good, and Guerrero has no chance of hurting him.

The prospect of going to jail and facing off against one of the greatest fighters in history kind of splits your focus. You say 35%, I say less than 3.5%.

**shando14** · 04-28-2013, 09:50 PM

Agreed...and I must say I agree that Guerrero has decent foot speed. Until he is in with someone who has superior foot speed like Mayweather. I think this fight will end up like what he originally planned to do to Ortiz. 12 rounds of skill and defense that Guerrero has never seen.

Re: Floyd Mayweather vs Robert Guerrero

I see this as another hand picked challenger for Floyd. Which means, that he knows that Guerrero isn't a real threat, and if he can limit his rough house tactics it will be another PBF fight dominated by the straight right hand, and his defense. What will be interesting to see is if this it the fight where Floyd start to slow down. I really don't see how 90 days in jail could really damage him as a fighter. He still trains like no other still spars 15 rounds where they have to bring in two and three guys to spar with him.

On a side note, my company is having their annual conference in Las Vegas, and we fly out Sunday. I had forgotten about this fight when I made my reservations (they are paying for my hotel and flights) I could've flown out Saturday and been there for this one. I feel like such an idiot.

Re: Floyd Mayweather vs Robert Guerrero

If FM had just the slightest flaw in his defense I would give any fighter a punchers chance, but we are talking about possibly the best defensive fighter in the history of the sport. It's gonna take a punch 20 times luckier than Iran Barkely for RG to win this fight.

My first PPV fight. Before that it was all theater closed circuit. What a shocker.

Re: Floyd Mayweather vs Robert Guerrero

Huh, I didn't know the movie theater ticket pricing was so cheap-$15 unless it's a misprint.

Re: Floyd Mayweather vs Robert Guerrero

Movie theaters are the way to go for ppv fights. Unless u and like 6 friends can split it.
