    Comments Thread For: Guerrero: Mayweather Bout is Today's David vs. Goliath

    NEW YORK – The assembled media at the Vanderbilt Suites in midtown Manhattan Tuesday weren’t the only ones that heard Robert Guerrero speak about his faith in the lead-up to his May 4th showdown with Floyd Mayweather. According to “The Ghost,” his future foe also got wind of it at a recent photo and video shoot, and not surprisingly, the pound-for-pound king wasn’t shy about addressing him regarding his comments.

    “You know what,” said Mayweather, “we say the same prayers. God don’t favor nobody.”

    Guerrero disagreed.

    “God does have favor over people. How do you think David beat Goliath? How do you think Moses defeated Pharaoh? God has favor over people, God uses people. And then he (Mayweather) tells me ‘you fight for your legacy, you fight for principles; I fight for money.’ And I told him, ‘that’s your problem. You worship your money; money’s your God.’ He didn’t like that; he froze up when I told him that. And by him telling me all that stuff, I know he’s the type of guy that underestimates faith and underestimates prayer, because prayer is powerful if you believe.”

    Robert Guerrero is a believer. If you didn’t know that before, you did after Tuesday’s presser, but the Gilroy, California native isn’t a fly-by-night Christian. He didn’t discover religion after doing all the drugs, drinking all the alcohol, and bedding all the women. He’s been in for the long haul, and with his wife Casey now cancer-free after a harrowing battle with leukemia, his belief is even stronger.

    “I’ve always been the type of guy that’s not wild or crazy,” said Guerrero, 29. “I don’t go out, I don’t party, I don’t drink, I don’t do none of that. I’m a family man, I spend time with my wife and my kids, and I was raised in the church with my father. As time went on and the older I got, the closer I got to God and the more I built that relationship with Jesus Christ. When my wife got sick it even got stronger. I’ve always been a big believer in the Lord, and I’m just gonna remain a big believer for the rest of my life.” [Click Here To Read More]

        Well said Guerrero, well said. Really hard to root against Guerrero.

          I want Guerrero to catch a beating. The way people value arrogance is somewhat mind boggling for me. I'm not going to say Mayweather is a humble man ( as he is far from it) but walking around with the attitude that God favours you other another man is the height of conceit. The more he opens his mouth is the more I develop a feeling of disdain towards him.

            what is your point? everybody knows that mayweather loves money. guerrero knows it too. whatever point that you are trying to make does'nt change the fact that the money does'nt come inside the ring.and ive never seen a one hundred dollar bill throw a punch.

              All this talk and nobody has yet to provide any tangible or valid reason that Guererro has a chance to win. What does he do better than Floyd, what does he do differently that will bother Floyd? Besides hold the back of the head and hit like he did Berto. Not that Floyd is invincible but this is not the guy to do it. Please he's doing all the talking which I'm sure is motivating Floyd more than he's been in a long time

                He surely can't believe that can he?

                  I thought boxers fight for money...since its their job. Also, Why would God favor any man who's intent is to hurt, possibly kill another man? doesn't make sense to me.

                    I'm an atheist so all of this is completely ridiculous to me, but I reacted to this line:

                    "God don’t favor nobody.”

                    Hasn't Floyd been saying for years now that nobody can beat him, because he's God gifted? While other fighters are just talented, good or whatever.
