Im Bay Area born, I used to be a big fan of the Ghost: until he fought in San Jose in March 09 against Daud Yordan: I remember he suffered a nasty gash, but as I best recall it, the fight doctor himself said he couldve continued but Guerrero insisted the bout be called off and QUIT two rounds in; it was that one showing, that changed my views on him; I am not one to call any fighter a coward, but if a fight doctor himself has deemed a fight can continue, and yet you still decide to quit, depriving the fans of what they paid for without a legitimate excuse, you wont be esteemed very highly in my book; is it just me, or has anyone else also noticed he's taken a more safety first approach since then? He's embarked on a trail of duds as of late, yes, with every fight, another victory, but he hasnt quite been viewer friendly: KATSIDIS, on the other hand, when has he not been in an exciting fight? He gives his blood, sweat and tears and doesnt avoid taking risk, he'll go down swinging, as proven in two of his best fights against Joel Casamayor and Juan Manuel Marquez; he may not be the most skilled, but his heart may never questioned; it's a battled of wills in that squared circle, and tomorrow I see a Katsidis career performance, Guerrero just wont measure up to the task at hand

I think Guerrero took Yordan lightly and when he realized that it was a tougher fight than he expected, he decided to not take the chance of losing due to the cut.
I can't blame him for that. Since then, he has been a bit more safety first. However, it's natural. That's how fighters learns. It happens.
Might not have been the bravest thing, but I wouldn't call it quitting, to be honest. I think he would have been willing to face Yordan under financially rewarding circumstances and I'd have assumed he would have won. I'd still pick him to win.
