The Ghost will win though. He has the size, the youth, and he has more ways to fight than Manny does vs Floyd.
He's not much taller than Floyd if at all and Floyd has him on reach. Not to mention he won't be able to pull his dirty moves on Floyd like he did Berto. Berto is a b*tch and he took the dirty moves Guerrero dished out. If the ref isn't helping, help yourself. Guerrero did the right thing. He straddled the boundary and fought as dirty as the ref would allow. Floyd is going to push his elbow into Guerrero's throat. When Guerrero lunges inside Floyd is going to step back and lean on the back of his neck with the elbow. Also watch out for the right uppercuts floyd will land consistently inside.
I really want to see this fight because it's going to be fun to watch Guerrero get systematically picked apart in the pocket round after round, when he isn't over committing on the outside and getting right hands crashed into his face in a similar fashion to Ortiz.

Originally posted by GRUSTLER View PostYeah they both made the 135 limit but Castillo weighed 147 and Floyd weighed 138 on fight night for both of their matches at light weight. Marquez has always been mad that Floyd didn't give him opportunities to let him be effective. Marquez was easy work after over a year being out of the ring and weight had nothing to do with it.
It seems like for Floyd fans, Floyd can't say or do no wrong.

At the end of the day everyone knows Bob Arum had an agenda... and Mayweather was never on it.

Originally posted by ADP02 View PostFloyd really wanted to fight Mosley you say? He had his chances way before 2010 when Shane was getting ready to hit 39 years old and inactive.
Mosley had just fought a couple of times that year (2006) and said I will be ready but had a planned vacation with his family. You know, like Floyd did over and over again but Floyd didn't just take a month or two off, it was more like years.
Mosley called up Floyd but Floyd said no. Mosley called out Floyd all of 2007 and said "Floyd is growing some feathers". Floyd still said no.
Mosley called out Floyd BEFORE Marquez, Floyd chose Marquez instead of a ready and willing WW named Mosley.
Mosley said Floyd is waiting for me to get older.
Prior to the fight, Floyd said "MOSLEY IS OLD ..... and I got a game plan against OLD fighters"
The proof is all there but you keep sticking to your story.
Here it is in case you forgot

Originally posted by Thaibox View Postdidn't they ask mosley about fighting Floyd and instead of saying yes, he was busy complaining about his loose tooth? You happen to remember that?

Mosley had just fought. Mosley asked to delay the fight a couple of months as he had a planned vacation. What only Floyd is aloud to take a vacation?
Summary:
- In 2006, Mosley wanted the fight to be a couple of months later than Floyd planned to fight. Now, if Floyd really wanted Mosley, he would have said "I want Mosley not no-name Baldomir. Not a big deal. We can negotiate the date and push it back a month or two."
- In 2007, Mosley asked again. Floyd said no!
- In 2008, Floyd disappeared.
- In 2009, Floyd said no. I want the 130-135lb Marquez instead of Mosley.
- In mid 2010, Floyd said "My game plan will take into account that Mosley is OLD now"Last edited by ADP02; 02-16-2013, 05:43 PM.

What other context can this be taken?
He did exactly what you said people wanted and fought him, straight after "Mosley got in the ring and called him out"
And as soon as the Berto fight was cancelled, EVERYONE was calling for Mayweather-Mosley.
