****ty situation, considering the level of talent

some people still think a focused gunman in his old form beats manny pacquiao

i disagree with them

but the guy did things at his best that caused people to be so enamored with him

you don't see too many guys who are considered to have wasted talent to that extent


can anybody confirm his "thyroid issue"

or he just what everybody seems to assume ; not that dedicated

Probably not that dedicated, as there were public reports of him coming into camp waaaaaaay overweight. That's not a thyroid issue. I mean he could have that issue, but coming into camp 30+ pounds overweight means you're not staying in shape between fights.

A prime, dedicated guzman would have been a problem for anyone, yes even pacquiao. Maybe he wouldn't have beat him, but it would have been a tough fight for Pac no doubt. I mean people love Soto on NSB, they think he's all that and guzman made him look like some ordinary bum throughout that fight. That says something. And that was after a year layoff too.

His career was plagued with a combination of bad management for years, and then later his weight issues. If he had different management earlier on, who knows what he could have become.

The only knock on him was his power didn't come with him as he went up in weight class. He still had good pop in his punches though, so it's not like he was feather fisted, he did stun people and earned respect, but still he lost a lot of power as he climbed up in weight.

It says october 1st not september

[Gino Ros]

A thyroid issue doesn't make you come into the weigh-in six pounds over.

At least be professional and notify the opposing camp.

I love Gooz, but I hold him accountable for not notifying the participants.

3? The only fight he should have lost was the draw he got against Funeka in their first fight. There was no other time in his career he should have lost.
