    Mayweather doesn't fight stay busy fights, that's the problem. He would walk away afterwards, like he has every single time in his comeback except for after the Marquez fight.

      Because Mayweather fights once every year and charges $1,500 for good seats for his fights. He probably has 2-3 more fights left in his career and there are 2-3 fights that I would rather see than Robert Guerrero at this point in time.

      Everybody is talking about how Guerrero can "give Floyd a tough fight". **** that. I don't want to see a fighter who can give Floyd a tough fight. I want to see a fighter who can beat Floyd.

      I'm so tired of watching Floyd fights that are out of reach on the scorecards by the 9th round. Guerrero does not possess the power to knock him out, cannot match his hand speed and brings nothing to the table that can give Floyd problems. If he gets behind early, he has no power to knock him out. Floyd is the superior inside fighter and the superior boxer.

      And how will this fight play out? He damn sure isn't outboxing Floyd. So he's going to smother him like Berto? People say you have to "smother" Floyd to beat him. GTFOH. That **** hasn't worked since Castillo did it over a decade ago.

      I want new blood. A new style that we haven't seen before. A fighter with an arsenal that Ortiz, Cotto, Mosley, De La Hoya and Hatton don't possess. I want a young fighter with the athleticism and skills to give Floyd problems. I want to see him fight Pacquiao, Martinez and the last man standing at 154 whether it be Canelo, Lara, Trout or whoever.

        I did. I seen a hungry fighter doing what nobody gave him a chance to do. Showing good inside fighting, a great workrate, a fantastic chin and determination too win.

        He did what he had to do and won convincingly. Never did I for one minute think he would bully Berto the way he did. He looked super strong in there & some of those rounds were epic. The 9th I think it was in particular where Guerrero got hurt and opened a can of whoop ass on Berto & had him out on his feet at the end of the round was a brilliant round of action.

          Ortiz and Cotto were the same distance apart as JMM and Mosley.

          Floyd's pattern has been fight in September then in May, after Mosley he took 16 months off but then had 2 fights in 9 months.

            I don't know why they won't fight, I'd only be speculating but in my opinion Floyd beats him rather easily. 2-3 years ago I'd of gave Manny a better chance. I don't even think that fight will ever happen.

            And seeing as its not likely too if Floyds going to continue I'd rather see The Ghost in there than a lot of these guys and that includes Bradley & Lara.

              Come on dude this is not 2009. Pacquiaos not that same fighter. He's a one minute per round fighter now.

If he was active, Guerrero would be fine, and I would like that Guerrero would be hungry and do whatever he could to win. Obviously that's not what Mayweather does though. He'd fight Guerrero and disappear for another year.
                Exactly what i think

                If he fights once every 15 months, its should be a BIG fight, otherwise i think its kind of a waste.

Don't let the Berto fight fool you, Berto made sure he was in Guerrero's range to be hit and is one of the worst adjustment fighters that ever lived. I'm not interested, and would rather Floyd fight Martinez, Pac or Alvarez. Floyd/Martinez is number 1 on my list, and the fans find it so intriguing of a match up that Floyd won't take it lol Anytime there's a serious challenge or a fighter that could potentially cause Floyd problems, he literally turns the other way, what a shame.
                  I think this is the part where Guerrero would fight Mayweather the same way he fought Aydin and Berto.

                    I'd like to see this fight. Guerrero is versatile and he's a tough guy. He's a southpaw with reach and I think he'd give Mayweather a fight. Mayweather would win but there might be some dangerous moments for him, which we rarely ever see.

                      I am all for the Ghost vs Money happening if Canelo vs Cotto fight is made. It all depends if Cotto beats Trout and decides to fight Canelo on may 5th. I believe there will be drama with that May 5th date in 2013. I will only pay PPV money for Cotto vs Canelo or Mayweather vs Canelo.
