Joan Guzman challenging weighing 153 open challenge 140-147

[boxing2106]

I was digging Guzman until they robbed Funeka in the 1st fight. Haven't been a fan since.

That fight made me like him more cuz he showed balls,gave him an immediate rematch,came overweight but funeka cheated to make the weight,fight night both were same weight,guzman won with better gameplan.funeka cant deal with movement.then he fought a bum but he needed to fight somebody,he called so many ppl out and nothing,hes a guy that wont duck anyone atleast.he will fighz guys we would like to see him fight like maidana khan berto ortiz holt pac morales barrera mayweather you name it etc Hes called all of em out except for floyd

Guzman's best win by far is the clinic he put on Soto. BUT, Guzman does not belong at 140 or 147. Can guarantee he will come 5lbs over whatever limit is set to anyway.

He let a good thing pass with his laziness and I'm not sure if anyone other than ESPN2 will gamble anymore and put him on TV regardless...

Thats why he needs to prove hes disciplined and his weight struggles are behind him.and hes been a welterweight on fight night since 2005! He just always shrunk down.now he hydrates to 150's.so i think he will carry the weight just fine if he stays in shape between fights.

Guzman could have had some decent wins by now if it wasn't for weight issues. Soto, Funeka, and who knows where a win over Campbell would have gotten him. Too many setbacks at a age where most good undefeated boxers lose their 0. I won't be surprised to see Guzman lose to a not so great fighter, due to age, inactivity and being irresponsible with his weight in between fights. Hope I'm wrong though.

Your probably not wrong, it follows script I mean we can all see this guy had talent and skill and want him to do well but he just ****ed up at a crucial point of his career. The Campbell fight if he won could have really taken him places.

Guzman is probably broke.

I remember that back on HBO Boxing After Dark, the fight was for Guzman's 130 WBO belt, and Joan really put it on Soto

such a disappointment Guzman's had all these weight issues, he coulda been a belt holder at Lightweight and most likely 140 as well, real bummer his career hasn't been more of a success.

^ true, the fight wound up not even happening, and things have been south for Guzman since then. Total bummer that the dude has blown so many opportunities in his career

Valero's a smart man. Guzman's career has been a disappointment thus far. We could have been talking about a 4-5 division World titlist and top 10 P4P fighter, instead we're talking about wasted talent and a comeback without an actual loss.
