Who can Guerrero fight to earn a shot at Floyd?

[BoxerDood]

Its pretty obvious that GBP is building him up for Floyd. In fact, he was the alternative option for Sept 17th (props to Floyd for not picking on another lightweight by the way).

So assuming he can get past Maidana next month, who could he fight to deserve a shot at Floyd, aside from Khan?

I honestly cant see him jumping Amir Khan in the Mayweather sweepstakes.

No one. He only gets that fight if he beats about 3 or 4 top notch guys like Maidana, Rios, & Khan

I know you said except for Khan, but he has to beat Maidana and Khan, and then Mayweather vs Guerrero can happen in late 2012. So basically, Maidana, Khan and Guerrero could duke it out to see who gets Floyd. If Maidana beats Guerrero, then Khan grows balls and gives him a rematch, who ever wins from that rematch, gets Floyd. But Khan would probably not want to risk losing to Maidana and lose his shot at Floyd, which I would understand.

he would have to beat Maidana than Khan

Now that GBP and Top Rank are beginning to work with eachother again, there could be some interesting fights between Mayweather, Pacquiao, Maidana, Khan, Guerrero...hell maybe even Soto all @ 147.

Of course not. That fight would happen after Floyd-Khan. I think Mayweather's next 3 fights will be Khan, Guerrero and Canelo. GBP have been building all three for a shot.

Whats with the hype for Guerrero lately? Its almost as big as Jeff Lacy and yes I know Guerrero is a better boxer then lacy overall but still. This guy goes from beating Litzau, an old casamayor, to beating a passed his best Katsidis= Mayweather Jr. fight if he gets passed Maidana?

I never said he was that great. Which is why he'd have to earn the shot. I think Khan, Bradley and Ortiz would all beat him. But GBP has been building him up for the shot apparently. If he earns it like Ortiz did, then I'd have no problem with the fight.

I think Guerrero would have to beat Maidana and Khan first to get a shot at Floyd or Pac. And I don't see him getting passed Khan at all. As much as I despise Guerrero as a person I think his boxing skills can get him a decision win against Maidana.
