Comments Thread For: Schaefer on Mayweather-Guerrero, Discussions Begin

BIGPOPPAPUMP

NEW YORK — Richard Schaefer told BoxingScene.com on Wednesday that he has begun discussions with representatives for Floyd Mayweather Jr. regarding a possible welterweight title bout against Robert Guerrero.

“I have started conversations with Team Mayweather for a potential fight between Robert and Floyd,” Schaefer said at a press event to promote the Miguel Cotto-Austin Trout fight Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. “I really have nothing more to say at this point, except that we’ve had ongoing discussions.”

The 29-year-old Guerrero became a legitimate player in the Mayweather sweepstakes Saturday night by beating two-time welterweight champion Andre Berto in a highly entertaining, 12-round fight in Ontario, Calif. Guerrero (31-1, 18 KOs, 2 NC), of Gilroy, Calif., dropped Berto twice on his way to a unanimous-decision win in a bout broadcast by HBO.

Figures, Cotto takes on the bigger challenge and Mayweather gets the easy fight.

Forget it, Mayweather won’t be sleeping against the ropes all night, Berto is an overrated B class fighter, Guerrero vs Gayweather is a cute fight…

Yeah Yeah Yeah. Guerrero. Accomplished what only Henry Armstrong, Roberto Duran and Roy Jones Jr. did. 6 time world champion in 4 weight divisions. 2012 fighter of the year. I get it.

Congratulations. Everybody's convinced now.

Make the fight happen and get it over with so we can see Floyd in the ring with an actual threat.
