    I think Guerrero can be competitive. Guerrero is not a great fighter, but he is a good fighter, he has a lot of guts. Floyd will be 36 years old by May and he doesn't throw many punches. If Guerrero can just stay active, he can win rounds. But the problem is Floyd makes fighters fight his fight, he makes their activity go down because they become reluctant to throw and discouraged to open them selves up to counters.

      Not Gonna Happen coz Guerrero Just Beat Berto, The guy Ortiz beat to get Floyd! Floyd ducks Pac when Pac was on top, and the biggest Money fight for him! Floyd wants his safety!!! It's his Priority!

      Floyd thought Cotto will be easy coz Pac already shows how it's done! Then he got beat up & struggled with Cotto! Now he'll take an easy fight! and 5 more easy one after that!

              Are you kidden me in regards to Guerrero? Guerrero switching styles? If you look up any tough fight Guerrero has, he won via inside dogfighting. Usually, it is only when that isn't working for him does he switch to boxing. In his loss with Diaz, he did exactly that. Against, Salido, he employed the same dogfighting tactics. But Salido beat him at his own game. With Aydin, what did he do? Dogfight! Oh and then with Berto, what did he do the entire fight? Dogfight!

              Now when Guerrero is facing weak push-overs of course he may choose to box. But anytime he's against serious opposition - he dogfights the entire fight. That is hands down his preferred fighting style.

              Cotto on the other hand, he can get down and dirty inside, but he can also fight well from the outside. He has boxed against the best of them, and has fought on the inside against the best of them. Against Floyd, even though he had the most success on the inside, he still was boxing at various times. When was the last time you seen Guerrero fight like that? Four years ago?
              You just confirmed everything I said about Guerrero switching styles. As for your question who's better between Guerrero and Cotto, I'll stick to what I said, Floyd fought a fading Cotto with **** stamina (not taking anything away from Floyd's win). He's now about to fight a prime Guerrero who keeps a steady pace and can switch up styles. I'm not saying Guerrero is gonna win but this is gonna be a very close fight IMO.

              Anyone can say what they want about Guerrero and his past but his two fights at WW showed us he has the heart of a lion and is relentless. This is gonna be a damn good fight. And that's coming from a Mayweather hater.

                  I still think it's a cherry pick, but I also know in any combat sports, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

                  I guess 50% was a bit much, but combine Floyd's age, with guerrero's hunger, and we can have a real life "Rocky" situation.

                    Robert has a 20% chance to win just because anything can happen and Floyd may have diminished. Robert has a 75% chance of looking like Berto after this fight. A lot of you may be surprised when u don't see the same Floyd u saw at 154 against cotto. He'll probably look more like he did in the Ortiz fight.

                      I give it 5% im not convinced if the ghosts' punching power at 147 is enough to hurt Floyd but ill be pulling for that 5% because boxing has somewhat been dead since december
