Not making weight is a pretty disgraceful thing to do. No excuses for mine. As someone else mentioned, Campbell prepared for this fight and for Guzman to do this is a poor effort no doubt.
Don't let Guzman off the hook

I'm glad to hear he at least tried to make weight on his second attempt. At least that's what they're reporting. But the fact is he still didn't make it the first time and deserves to lose a lot of respect. You don't get pity points for going to the hospital and canceling the fight. He still didn't make weight and I still don't respect the guy, but I'm glad to know he won't be dying in the ring tonight if he indeed tried to make weight. Who really knowsComment

I don't think he can win at 140, but then again Malignaggi is like the #2 guy there, so it's possibleComment

Wtf
No one is going to want to see this man in the ring again after this. Seriously. You can't pull this kind of **** when you're already a negative fighter that people don't consider exciting. He's had zero big fights, and now he'll probably never get one.
You can stand there and stick up for your countryman all day, but I'm just telling you the truth. This is a very, very debilitating blow to his career.
Have you noticed Showtime basically calling him a coward for not wanting to fight? I'm not saying he's a coward. I'm saying he's a moron, a clown, and a joke for not being able to make weight. Now we'll probably never find out how good this guy could have been.

I hope Tye Fields type of hype ends here for guzman.
We all know hes talented. we all know he's this and that but he doesnt have the certificate to prove it. like fuego said he has 0 Big fight. the fight with sotto counts for something but Barrios recently got ****ed by the now 'gatekeeper' Juarez.
Big Disapointment really i think he has the chance to land Marquez or Pac later if he got the belts from nate.
just imagine its your first fight in a higher division and you didnt make weight? at least Castillo's been fighting at lightweight before corrales 3.Comment

its very disappointing he didn't make weight, but give him a break. he was going up in weight and it appears he added a lot of muscle, as he did weight lifting for the first time in his career to prepare for the fight. it's not as if he just came in as a fat boy, he came in too bulky.
guzman has had a lot of tough breaks over his career, this one obviously goes on his shoulders, he gets the blame no doubt but some of ya'll are actin like he killed the pope. unfortunately this happens from time to time. I'm sure he's pretty upset about it himself.
also keep in mind he was scheduled to fight alex arthur and was ready to fight and that **** was canceled on him. he's been inactive as a resultComment

Little do people know how much muscle Guzman build and how he overdid it. The same people who called him feather fisted are talking **** NOW...him being able to lose the 3.5 was due to the muscle he gained. Guzman's objective seemed to have been to hurt Nate and not outbox. Cut him a breakComment
