Juan Guzman is fighting tonight

His a poor mans Mayweather. Well that what he looks like against Soto.

Guzman is the fighter that Pac avoided from 126-140.

I've heard some really good things, good interviews recently. He said every time they invite him out to eat he denies them, and he's also training 3 times a day. Sounds good but he's gonna have to show me.

no way. Pacquiao fought guys like Morales, Barrera & Marquez. Guzman, as talented as he was, he was never a big name and I certainly wont critisize pac for fighting those hall of famers instead of Guzman.

The one time the fight came close to happening is after Guzman beat Soto. Pacquiao ended up fighting Marquez instead. Can't blame him there.

Bob Arum also knew the danger as his excuse for not making the fight was "Guzman is boring, he runs". Arum even planned on still fighting Soto, the loser of that fight.

Obviously there is a risk/reward in boxing and that's true with all boxers. You wont see Amir Khan fight some absolutely unheard of super talented fighter or whatever.

Guzman still has his boxing ability even showing above average toughness in the first Funeka fight. If he can keep himself in great condition, he's can be a problem at 147, but he's going to have to speed up the process because the way he's treated his body and his age won't do him any favors.

He's going to have to work his way into position instead of just getting a shot at a title and he's going to have to do it without the backing of a strong promoter (though Michael Marley has some pull as a publicist). He's going to have to become a mandatory (preferably for the IBF, who actually enforce mandatories) or get a high ranking for a vacant title. Khan is moving up if he wins the Peterson fight, so the IBF can be vacant.

The point is, he still has time to be a factor, but he's going to have to do everything fast.
