What is he missing?
I'd say he's one of the more complete fighters around, and yet I still say he'd get demolished if he ever fought Floyd or Manny...
So why is that? What's he missing?
He's decent speed, he seems to have pretty good power, he's got stamina up the ass, he can box on the outside, and fight skillfully on the inside... He's got a ton of heart...
That's all the talent a boxer can possibly have
So it must be something else? What can be done to make is so that Guerrero, not necessarily can beat Floyd or Manny, but can be on that level...
He is a smart good tough fighter with heart nothing more nothing less, nothing exceptional that's why its hard to put him in the highest of levels he does nothing exceptional but everything well. When it comes to the biggest stars of boxing he has nothing to upset a Mayweather going for him. Points? hell no K.O power? no, I like him and think he can have success and proved he can beat hype job boxers but i don't see him getting to the top.
He is nowhere near the class of Floyd & Manny but I think he beats probably most of the other guys.
I'd like to see him fight Bradley to get a better gauge of where he actually is.
He's a warrior but he definitely needs to show more head movement. We know he can take a shot at the weight but he doesn't NEED to keep showing it.
Tough as nails though.
WAR GUERRERO.
I wonder was the Berto fight the first time NSB seen RG fight?
First time for most of them, made obvious by the fact that few people here know that Guerrero is first and foremost a boxer, and his performance last week (add well as the Aydin fight) was unusual for him. Was just smart gameplanning.
The Ghost is a great fighter but he is a little limited in some areas. Like others have said he does get hit too much. All that bravado is cool, but lots of great fighters start to wear down after years and years of getting hit like that. So his durability would be in question, imo. Especially if he fights Pacquiao. He isn't the fastest and doesn't really fight smart if you ask me. He expels so much energy in some instances when he rallies and tires himself out when it isn't needed. It's like he doesn't quite grasp when he has a guy staggered or if the guy is actually ready to go (Broner is good at telling the difference with this). His strategy against Berto worked but against Pacman, he'll be eating punches all night as soon as he tires. Can he keep that kind of pace up like Pac? Doubt it.
Against Floyd, Floyd would hit right through his leaky defense. He isn't a powerful puncher so he wouldn't have to worry about anything big coming a la Mosley so it would be easy.
To sum it up, Robert is a good fighter just not exceptional. And putting him in the ring with Manny and Floyd is putting him in there with exceptional fighters. Pac clobbers him and leaves him bloody. Money dissects him like a surgeon and embarrasses him.

I believe it is. They think he some unskilled brawler now LOL. first time i ever seen him fight that way and this fools thinks thats the only way he fights.
...:trink26:...
Head and lateral movement, to avoid eating to many shots. He has good offensive boxing skills all around aside from being a real big puncher at his current weight. Heck even just paying a bit more attention to that side of the game could help him eat a lot less clean shots, he is a tough dude but toughness doesn't last forever.
He just is too easy to hit but since he can fight in different ways he can focus in on an area where his opponent can do the least damage to him.
So adding any defensive trick would work really, anything that allows him to take even less damage would be huge for him long run.
I think Ghost beats most Welterweights besides Pacquiao, Mayweather and maybe Bradley...other then that I would pick him to beat the rest
The Welterweight Division is not even all that great, it just has the biggest Draws in boxing with Mayweather and Pacquiao but other then that, it is actually a very WEAK DIVISION
He's getting hit a little more than you like to see, more than he was getting hit at the lower weights. So far he can take the punch and has outclassed (Aydin) and outgutted (Berto), but he hasn't met someone at this weight who is better than him IMO. Mayweather would show where he stands P4P and I don't think it's that high yet.
The same mobility he had in the lower weight classes, think he entered the ring at 152 against Berto, maybe he should enter weighing 147. His ability to box, control distance and speed still haven't adjusted to the weight.
I agree that Many and Floyd beat him but I don't know if I would go as far as saying he would be demolished. I can't doubt him any longer, at first I thought he would never carry the weight well but he has. I never thought he would take a welters shot but he has. I never thought he could hurt an welter but he has.
I can't doubt this kid anymore, Guerrero is just that...a warrior like his name implies and I think he deserves a payday even though I don't think he beats the elite of that weight class.
