Comments Thread For: Guerrero: It’s Going to be a Dogfight with Mayweather

[RL_GMA]

Does anyone else expect anything but...

"..by Unanimous decision and still WBC Welterweight champion of the World.."

Isn't Mayweathers chin unproven though? I mean afterall he rarely gets hit flush on it. And when he does it normally not from someone who has power.

Boxing is about hitting and not getting hit on the "chin" but If anyone gets hit the right way on the chin they can go down, anyone. From Ali to Pacquiao. no one is invisible, but I'd say Floyd's chin is good enough to not be worried about Guerrero because he's no big puncher regardless.

Floyd is going to walk Guerrero down and fold him over by continuously shipping right hands to the body. Floyd will follow up the right downstairs with a left hook up top to hit Guerrero on the a$$ as he's on his way out.

Guerrero will feel very uncomfortable, be taken out of his element, and drowned in the abyss when Floyd doesn't allow him to come forward. Guerrero is ****ed when he can't gain forward momentum.

Mayweather has a solid chin. He's been cracked on it a few times. Last time by Mosley, but he recovered quick and was chasing Mosley at the end of the round.

Maybe you can't perform the same way you use to at 35+ but Floyd is a professional boxer who never drinks, smokes..ect and stays in condition yr round, so you're 35+ and Floyd's 35+ are totally different. As the late great E. Steward use to say "Floyd's not normal". Floyd has been more effective at this age then ever before, a younger 30- Floyd would have probably had trouble with someone like Ortiz who was 24..

I don't smoke or drink and my definition of performance was cycling 200+ miles per competition...men can tell tales and validate their point however they see fit..the only people who cannot see the reality are the fanbase. Hell even Floyd's pops has acknowledged the point i'm trying to make.

how can they all land overhand rights if half of them are Southpaws? Also, Mosley & JMM land like one or 2 meaningful punches out of 24 rounds and thats all people remember. You also have to factor in his layoffs. Both of those shots from Shane & JMM were early in the fight. He's just working off of rust from a long layoff. If he fought consistently then they wouldnt have even landed the one or 2 shots they did land.

I agree Floyd is obviously older & on the decline but until I see him slip alot, there is no one from WW on down who is going to beat him. Only much naturally bigger guys who also basically have to be Southpaws

You answered your own question fam..the reason Floyd was standing is because the guys who figured out that's the punch aren't predominantly KO fighters with that hand. I wasn't mentioning Jmm's fight with Floyd i was mentioning it about the pacquaio fight..both have been rocked by the same punch by 39 year olds. Honestly if Shane had fought Floyd at 30 he would've beaten Floyd..ring rust or not Shane is a crafty adapting fighter just like Floyd but Shane sadly just doesn't have the gas in the tank to have gotten/taken that fight. It's not about how many shots Mosley landed..it took Mosley one monster punch to get Margarito in trouble for the K.O. Floyd almost fell for it twice..which is why I say nobody and I mean nobody in boxing is unbeatable. I disagree that only naturally bigger guys..I think a younger fighter with enough focus who doesn't get discouraged along the rounds and can also adapt would cause a Floyd at this age a world of problems.

Guerrero's only hope is that Floyd turns old.

Is floyd prime? No. Is Floyd you're average 36 year old? Absolutely NOT! Notice you said your experience WAS cycling. The keyword is "WAS" Floyd's keyword is "IS" Nobody is telling any tales you say Floyd can't do this or that like he was young but what happened to the "Young" Ortiz who was 10 years younger than Floyd and outweighed him by 15 pounds!?! What happened was Floyd whipped him and performed like he was 28 this wasn't even 2 years ago...

Shane's only hope was to land a shot like he did on Floyd, and it didn't happen. The difference between Shane and Floyd is boxing skills. Young or old, Floyd would always present problems to Shane because he has a jab and great defense, and he would always beat Shane for those reasons.

The Ghost by split nod.

The CBS Mega deal could create a public notion that judges might be in the bag for 6 fights. Some may not give close stanzas to the Money Man. Others might simply be salivating to remove the zero that resides next to Mayweathers name.
The recent plague of unholy decisions, draws and very close scorecards may render Floyd defeated, especially when facing a man who will display as much passion as Robert Guerrero.

No it won't, the Ghost will get a boxing lesson.
