Former four-division champion Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero (32-2) is 100% focused on his March 7th showdown against Keith Thurman (24-0). With that being said, it is hard not to look ahead at so many intriguing match ups that may lie ahead for the 31-year-old should he emerge victorious.
"I know I'm going to win and it's going to put me back in the mix," Guerrero confidently told BoxingScene.com. "So I am excited but like I said you got to focus on what's in front of you now and everything else will come. The main focus is Thurman and we got to go in there and put it down."
Thurman has also been looking down the road at bigger fights and has said on numerous occasions that he would love to face pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather. Guerrero has heard these comments and vows that Thurman is in for a rough night.
"I know he's going to be ready and I know I am going to be his toughest challenge to date - the guy he's faced who has had the most experience and been in with other veteran, crafty fighters. He will be 100% ready. He's talking like he's going to walk right through me. We will see what happens," Guerrero stated.
When asked again about potentially facing the Mayweather-Pacquiao winner Guerrero said, "Of course we want the winner but all of our focus is on Thurman and March 7th."
Guerrero-Thurman takes place March 7th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and will be televised by NBC.
