Comments Thread For: Photo: Mayweather Jr., Guerrero in Tense Face To Face

Well, he went life and death with Aydin, who was nearly shutout by Soto-Karass (Yeah, the guy Maidana KO'd a few months prior). He also went life and death with Berto (getting hit at will by upper cuts in rounds 7-12), but to his credit Berto had fought twice in the last two years (one being a brutal loss to Ortiz, and the other a win over a gatekeeper).

Guerrero is a top 5 welterweight no doubt...

The bold absolutely did not happen. The Ghost beat the crap out of Berto.

Exactly. Guerreros welterweight wins were against Aydin (yes the same Aydin that just got schooled by Soto freakin Karass) and the other win was against a steroid free Berto that was coming off a 15 month lay-off.This is the biggest cherry pick in recent history.

there's no such thing of cherry picking.mayweather is just a better fighter than most.

Guerrero looks like that at WW.

as much as i truly believe Mayweather will make easy work of this fight; something in the pit of my stomach tells me Guerrero is going to pull off the upset of the year. Left handed, taller, great tenacity, mental focus, and lack of fear/respect for mayweather and camp will make for an interesting bout. Let's not act like may is a one punch ko artist at 147. Adding in the fact that Guerrero has come back from a mentally draining situation to not only compete, but dominate. I don't see Guerrero playing the puppet game with JR. He does have the resiliency to make it a dirty, grueling bout. But hey, that's just the optimism in me.

The pit of your stomach is wrong my friend.
Lets bet points

Yeah so did Ortiz. But Guerrero, and Ortiz took punishment in the Berto fights.
That means their both easy to hit.

Mayweather will win by 7rd KO

Aydin was the mandatory for years and was undefeated and guerrero beat him pretty easy idk where u got that life and death crap from .. it was a good win stop hating.. Berto was manhandled by ghost again he won rather easy .. physical match but he dogged Berto and it was impressive.. ya make Berto sound like hes a bum who cant beat nobody.. Guerrero will give floyd his toughest fight to date IF .. and thats a big IF the ref lets ghost fight on the inside .. its is floyd so i have my doubts

Who else was he going to fight? You're a Floyd hater so you'll find a flaw in any opponent he selects

Guerrero was being hit by upper cuts at will from rounds 7-12 (Berto landed 107 power shots within these 6 rounds; 18 power shots per round). Watch the fight again and you tell me those last 6 rounds weren't a life and death struggle, I saw Guerrero getting hurt by uppercuts multiple times. Berto won 4 or 5 rounds in that fight (no less) it was really the early knockdowns that killed it for him. The Aydin fight was even closer and Aydin had Guerrero hurt multiple times. If we go by triangle logic, as many posters here do, Soto-Karass would beat Guerrero. Not that I believe in such logic.
