Yup. I can't wrap my head around how someone like Guerrero deserves Mayweather. That just...doesn't make sense. No disrespect to him but what has he done to deserve that?
He's a lightweight still moving around in the ranks. He's way up there but to say, "Oh, okay. Yeah, skip directly to 147." is bogus.
Sure, Márquez did that by then it didn't matter. Márquez was a legend and God bless him for doing that number on Pacquiao in the third fight, but Guerrero hasn't been CONSISTENTLY proven. He's not a draw, he doesn't have a fanbase, he doesn't have an entertaining style, he's not coming off a sensational performance, he's not one weight class within Mayweather...
IT MAKES NO SENSE...LEGACY-WISE or FINANCIAL-WISE!
It'd be better to put Pacquiao, Martínez, Timothy Bradley, Cotto, Mike Jones, Berto, Canelo, Kirkland...or hell, even Margarito or an Ortiz rematch....
all of the above...against Mayweather...and they would be better than Robert Guerrero. It just makes no sense for Floyd to pick him.
I just can't see the angle he's playing. This has GOT to be a publicity stunt or a huge decoy or something because if this match-up DOES happen, I just can't see how it'll win any more fans or money. There's just no appeal or reward in fighting Guerrero IF you're Mayweather.Comment

How is a blown up lightweight a bigger challenge than Ortiz?
The only thing Guerrero has different from Marquez is style, but that won't change the result in any way. Floyd will control the distance and throw jabs out of range, and Guerrero is neither fast nor powerful nor nothing.
To me the most scandalous is probably the fact that Guerrero is in the mix after beating nobody of mention, and ducked Maidana due to injury.Comment
