    Will Guerrero weigh around 170 lbs on fight night , has Robert got a proven granite chin against bigger men than Floyd , will Floyd hurt his hand .

    There is no comparison at all to the Baldy fight , I actually think this will be closer to the Hatton fight with Robert spoiling , and until Floyd can start to work its going to be messy , Floyd wont be running from anybody these days , from 135 he has steadily become less mobile with nearly every fight up to now , Floyd is at the stage where he will get more and more like Bhop as he matures , people think because he fights a moving boxing match that he has no chin and chicken and all this garbage , dude is an ATG and I will pay to see every single fight he has , get your head out of hate mode and look at the fighter , the rest dont matter .

    What your doing bud is betting on a racehorse based on his form 5 starts ago , its just illogical if your in the now and know the reasons why something happened .

      Probably as the fight goes on he will take it to Guerrero, but I think he will be cautious early on as he was against De La Hoya and Hatton. Mosley shook him to his boots when he tried to trade early on their fight.

        Floyd is always going toe to toe now unless you are just too big & strong for him. 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. Guerro is not any better than any of those last 3 guys. he is smaller than ortiz. If floyd fought ortiz on the inside most of the fight when ortiz was 14 pounds heavier than floyd and cotto was probably around 10 pounds heavier why would he be so worried to face guerro on the inside who is the same size as floyd and has no size advantage? guerrro is going to get his ass kicked badly

          He's going toe to toe, 75-90 percent. That's the best way to catch Guerrero with uppercuts.

            So I shouldn't be weary because you say so? I got news for you "bud", I'm a boxing fan, I'll never be a Floyd fan. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate his greatness. It also doesn't mean I won't be weary about him being boring again.

              Anything outside of running is toe to toe in my opinion. He's been fighting every fight like that for a while now.

                      The only thing I give the Ghost in this fight is being southpaw, and is very technical. But he's slow and is too easy to hit
