Robert Guerrero's been on an incredible run since his only lost to Gamaliel Diaz back in 2005. The Ghost is a throwback fighter, because he avenged his loss by knocking Diaz out in the rematch. Khan hasn't rematched Prescott, Victor Ortiz hasn't rematched Maidana, Linares hasn't rematched Salgado. None of these so called top fighters have dared to step back in the ring with their nemesis. These guys need to redeem themselves to the fighters that KO'ed their ass before we can start calling them legit. The Ghost is the real deal and should get the Khan fight. If not Amir, then why not put him in with Maidana. Guerrero will be the next superstar if he can beat them!!
that would be really great if ghost's next two opponents are khan and maidana...i hope he gets either one, he has what it takes to beat both of them...

RG arguable quit against Yordan(and I'm mad we never seen him rematch him)and who did he beat at 140lb??I would not mind seeing him fight a good fighter before we talk about him with any top 140lb fighters..TBH he should fight Rios before moving up anyway..
of course he deserves the fights. did amir khan deserve to fight MAB after getting knocked out in 54 seconds? and then he gets a WBA title shot in his first fight at 140 against salita.
what would be so wrong about ghost getting those fights? dude's won titles at 126, 130, and some solid wins at 135...what had khan done to deserve MAB and the title shot? it's not like the MAB win was even impressive and probably should have been a NC anyway.
Good post. I think if it were up to a lot of people here nobody would ever get a shot at anybody.
For the record, guys, historically speaking boxing fans are supposed to want everybody to fight everybody.
Dont forget The Ghost went overseas and smashed their champion Spend Abazi in his own backyard. How many champions today have went from the US to the UK and won a title. Not many. And I believe Guerrero is a bigger draw in England than Judah

dont think he deserves it yet...he also had a no contest with daud yordan in which he was getting beat...got cut badly and the fight was called...
not to mention the figt was called off becuase guerrero quit, plain and simple, he still has 'nt redeemd himself from that performnace for me.......and youre right , he was getting beaten....

Pleaseeee you cant say The Ghost was going to lose against Yordan just because he was surviving and fighting scared in the first round. Guerrero would kill Yordan, thats why he never wanted the rematch. The Ghost is a 3 division champ my friend and his skills are this best. The only reason he's not getting a big fight is because everyone is avoiding him.
Guerrero has a lot he can do right now. He can fight a title shot at lightweight with Humberto Soto or Miguel Vazquez. He could also do a few fights to prepare before going for a title, maybe John Murray or something. Fight a close and exciting yet pretty much useless fight with Marco Maidana or Erik Morales. Or he can move up too Jr. Welterweight and fight a few fights and go for a title shot with Amir Khan, Zab Judah or Timothy Bradly {if bradley won't duck him}.
Deserving means nothing in boxing as of late.But Guerrero really doesn't deserve anything at jr welter.135 is talent filled,he could stay there,be big for the weight & kick some a$$.
The Ghost is a beast. He should get the fight because he will be the perceived easiest fight being he will be moving up in weight. He is a very technical boxer with a decent reach and would catch Khan making mistakes.
He lost to Orlando Salido on the Mayweather-Baldomir undercard back in Nov '06. Even though it was changed to a NC it still doesn't look pretty good. I am a huge fan of Guerrero and want him to get that fight against Khan.
he got whooped by salido and that should not be a no contest because salido passed a blood test the next day...also who has he beat?? he outboxed the limited katsidis, but who else? a washed up casamayor? klassen? litzau? lol don't make me laugh...granted he looked excellent against katsidis but katsidis is tailor made for his style, remember styles make fights, i think khan beats him fairly easily if the fight happens

He hasn't fought anybody since 05 besides bums and punching bags. Khan, Ortiz, Maidana, Bradley all sh*t on his resume.
Guerrero is a good boxer but quit acting like he deserves this and that because hes undefeated because hes fighting a bunch of bums.
Remember Oscar, Floyd, Manny and many other great fighters moved up from smaller weight classes and dominated at higher weights. That argument holds no weight. Manny Pacquiao didn't have a fight at welterweight before he moved up either. The Ghost has gotten better since he's moved up. He'll be at his best at 140 in my opinion.
There's still fights I want to see Guerrero in at 135. He can't demand a Khan or Maidana shot at 140 yet because he hasn't done anything there, nor does he hold a title at LW. I'd be fine with him fighting those guys but he isn't owed anything.
I want him to get the fight no doubt.
But deserve? no.
Not a single fight at 140.
He's not ranked at 140.
I would love to see him get the fight.
But, he dosen't deserve it.
