    1. Guerrero is a great inside fighter
    2. He has the ability to box on the outside if he needs to
    3. He's a southpaw and Floyd dont like fighting lefty's
    4. The Ghost throws close to 1000 punches per 12 round fight
    5. Guerrero is a smart fighter and doesnt lose many rounds
    6. He's got better punching power then people think which will keep Floyd honest
    7. The Ghost has one of the best jabs in boxing.

    I state my case for The Ghost and his tools. Its going to be a great fight.

      First off, Guerrero deserves this shot more than anyone out there. I think he will make the Floyd fight very ugly and competitive, win, lose or draw, he will come away with many more fans than he had going in to it.

      If he does indeed win, he will become a global name and star......especially when they pump the stuff about his wife......GLOBAL HERO

        I agree with your points but the jab especially. I wish he would use it more than he does, especially as of late.....it is a very excellent weapon for him, one of the best in the business.

          i agree. But what concerns me is if he can double it or throw something behind the jab. Floyd has a way of making people miss with one jab and making them pay !

            The Ghost didn't use a jab against Berto and even if he does, Money will use a pull-counter over his jab and thereby neutralize him from throwing it thus taking it away.

              He'll have a tough time trying to pull counter that right jab. He's going to have to beat Guerrero to the punch on the outside and attempt to break him down in close quarters. Not a PPV-worthy match but a lot more intriguing than some would initially suspect.

                All that being said, I'll give him two rounds at the most. He only wins by knockout

                  I just can't understand why he is fighting up close in these ugly battles when he doesn't need to do that to win. He could have boxed Aydin to pieces and made Berto look lost if he had fought technically.

                  The only thing I can think of is that he is trying to trick Floyd into expecting one thing and then showing up as something totally different because the Floyd fight has been his primary focus for the last 2 years. Guerrero is a very smart dude and it could be part of some long term plan he put into play for Floyd. Stretching a little bit I realize but it kind of makes sense considering we know he can box technically very well and be very successful at it.

                    I think he'll blow up into mainstream if he beats Floyd which won't happen...otherwise not really. It helps that he's a WW though.

                      Where was that pull counter when he fought Cotto? He can't take them all away.
