    His last few fights has been toe to toe, maybe he has lost his legs but in the Mosley fight he went toe to toe, In the Ortiz fight he did the samething likewise the Cotto fight, We have to wait and see what happens but he would probably mix it up in there.

      Its a guarantee that he spends at least half the fight standing right in front of Guerrero, and probably driving him back.

        That would be soooo funny, I actually want to see that! that would be the Parody of JMM-Pac.

          Guerrero isn't strong enough to force Floyd into a dogfight
          Floyd no longer possesses the mobility he used and we saw that 2 fights in a row. Ortiz and Cotto. (Can't remember the Mosley fight now). It wasn't him trying to show the fans that he can **** cause he if had the option he wouldn't. He's too old to ****. He just doesn't have the same legs.

He stood in the pocket vs Mosley, Ortiz, & Cotto for most of the fight so why wouldnt he do it against the Ghost? IDK why people think that Ghost can do him like he did Berto. Floyd is stronger than people give him credit for and he's 10x better and inside figher. Add that to the fact that Ghost is a Southpaw and Floyd always tries to walk them down. He's going to come right at him.

          The only thing that "may" change this is Floyd having his dad back but his dad is the main guy who told him to stay close to Shane so he'll probably do the same to the Ghost. If Floyd does move though, I wouldnt be upset. I would actually kinda be glad if he showed that he could still move similar to his younger days. I dont see it happening though. Even if he does move, it will be slow walking moves, not quick moves like the younger version
          This. And you answered my question about the Mosley fight.

          I think Im gonna say 90-100%.

              Depending how his legs are aging and how much abuse his legs have taken from jogging and just overall movement, he might not have a choice but to fight and not move as much. I hope the PAC/MARQUEZ doesn't effect how Floyd fights Guerrero. It's actually more entertaining to see Floyd fight the way he has been fighting lately.

                Maybe he wants to prove something. He said he'd fight Guerrero anyway he wanted though and Guerrero responded "toe to toe". Floyd repeated "anyway you want it". Im just curious what the scene thinks because the last time Floyg suckered me into buyomg a PPV was ahainst Baldomir where he said something similar only to fight a very timid and boring fight. In his defense though, his last few fights have been much more pleasing to watch.

                  Guerrero will make the fight interesting for a while, but Floyd's hand speed and ability to stay out of the way of sweeping shots should be the difference. I see Guerrero losing by TKO in the late rounds.

                    Referring to 170 on the night Baldy now is just so left field , its like referring to Manny running away from Margo when he is fighting JMM , Floyd will be in the pocket and Guerrero will try and smother him while Floyd picks him apart from 6 inchs away , Robert is not in Floyds class and I think it will be a very messy fight because Robert will not want to give him any punching room .

                      I expect Floyd to see what Robert brought right away! He will be back stepping or using angles but he has to find out what Robert has and what Robert can handle!
                      As I've mentioned on simular threads if Robert can handle Floyds power and if Floyd feels fine against his we will have a fight! Floyd will let him step up but he'll be looking to land in combination. If this could come down to attrition I'd guess Floyd would have an edge. The difference between them is Floyd has been on this stage a few times where Robert is there for the first time! Anxiousness and natural nerviousness can effect the body as well as the mind! Its something to think about for Robert its NOT hahahaha!!! Ray.
