    Seems he needs a couple more fights at welter to adjust. He's carried the weight well so far it seems. Just need a little more adjustment

      I'd say he's one of the more complete fighters around, and yet I still say he'd get demolished if he ever fought Floyd or Manny...

      So why is that? What's he missing?

      He's decent speed, he seems to have pretty good power, he's got stamina up the ass, he can box on the outside, and fight skillfully on the inside... He's got a ton of heart...

      That's all the talent a boxer can possibly have

      So it must be something else? What can be done to make is so that Guerrero, not necessarily can beat Floyd or Manny, but can be on that level...

        The Ghost is a great fighter but he is a little limited in some areas. Like others have said he does get hit too much. All that bravado is cool, but lots of great fighters start to wear down after years and years of getting hit like that. So his durability would be in question, imo. Especially if he fights Pacquiao. He isn't the fastest and doesn't really fight smart if you ask me. He expels so much energy in some instances when he rallies and tires himself out when it isn't needed. It's like he doesn't quite grasp when he has a guy staggered or if the guy is actually ready to go (Broner is good at telling the difference with this). His strategy against Berto worked but against Pacman, he'll be eating punches all night as soon as he tires. Can he keep that kind of pace up like Pac? Doubt it.

        Against Floyd, Floyd would hit right through his leaky defense. He isn't a powerful puncher so he wouldn't have to worry about anything big coming a la Mosley so it would be easy.

        To sum it up, Robert is a good fighter just not exceptional. And putting him in the ring with Manny and Floyd is putting him in there with exceptional fighters. Pac clobbers him and leaves him bloody. Money dissects him like a surgeon and embarrasses him.

          First time for most of them, made obvious by the fact that few people here know that Guerrero is first and foremost a boxer, and his performance last week (add well as the Aydin fight) was unusual for him. Was just smart gameplanning.

            He is nowhere near the class of Floyd & Manny but I think he beats probably most of the other guys.

            I'd like to see him fight Bradley to get a better gauge of where he actually is.

            He's a warrior but he definitely needs to show more head movement. We know he can take a shot at the weight but he doesn't NEED to keep showing it.

            Tough as nails though.

            WAR GUERRERO.

              He is a smart good tough fighter with heart nothing more nothing less, nothing exceptional that's why its hard to put him in the highest of levels he does nothing exceptional but everything well. When it comes to the biggest stars of boxing he has nothing to upset a Mayweather going for him. Points? hell no K.O power? no, I like him and think he can have success and proved he can beat hype job boxers but i don't see him getting to the top.
