There's a big difference in fighting Andre Berto in Ontario, CA and facing Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas, NV. I don't think the tactic he used against Berto is going to be wise against Mayweather. Mayweather is a very dirty fighter on the inside and he is way more intelligent than Andre Berto. The ref in Vegas will not let Guerrero get away with the rough housing. He will take points and force Guerrero to face the handspeed and accuracy.

That thumb to Berto's eye, early in the fight, didn't hurt either.

Couldn't agree more.

Not sure If De La Hoya knows what he's talking about? Berto much stronger than Floyd? That's almost laughable. I guess If he's just considering Berto's punching power, then yes, but If we are talking about all around physical strength ala ability to absorb a punch, or 12 rd stamina then Berto isn't even close to being as strong as lil Floyd is, and boxing is more about all around strength not just punching power imo...

Does anyone else think Guerrero-Mayweather has like a 95% chance of ending with a DQ?
