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

[mrjoeblive]

Some will call it a cherry pick and some will call it another "carefully selected opponent"

When the fight is riskier then we get to hear the excuses from Floyd and his fans.

EXAMPLE: "I don't fight to see who is the best ..... its a business that is why I'm not going to fight so and so ...."

Sorry but you can't have it both ways!

I disagree. Name one fighter who when in the position to do so didnt make fights that made more financial sense than competative sense. Pac fans use to say he made fights for his fans. But did anyone really want to see him fight david diaz as opposed to juan baby bull diaz? I dont blame any man for making as much as he can while his body allows him to. Ghost only wants to fight floyd because its the most he will make in a fight. But dont cheapen it by pulling a evander holifield. He said god helped him beat tyson but he didnt stop him from cheating on his wife and having 3 kids born with in 60 days of each other.

Physically Guerrero is Goliath because he's the one with the height advantage [slightly] and will more than likely be bigger on fight night than Floyd.

Skillwise, longevity, who's more proven, better resume, Floyd's career is Goliath compared to Guerrero in those departments. Physically Guerrero has the edge in size and height.

Difference is that Manny fought guys where people thought he had little chance to win or that people knew it would be very competitive. So if he fights a fight that is questionable then all you can do is question it but you can't call Manny a guy who constantly cherry picked his fights.

Floyd on the other hand has gone on vacation, selected the easier fight, avoided opponents and so on. Whenever there was a fight that people thought would be very competitive for Floyd, Floyd either fought them when they got older or never fought them. Oh yeah, or Floyd wanted to fight them when they were relatively green in one way or another.

Floyd AGAIN is fighting an opponent who has very little experience at his division. Everyone is giving Guerrero little chance of winning. Even Guerrero himself is counting on God and putting examples of being the heavy underdog.

Name one fight where pac was the under dog. Please dont say barrera he had over 70 fights when he fought pac. When has pac faced a young hungry fighter in his prime? When floyd fought chico he was a 3 to 1 underdog on some books and a 2 to 1 on others. Name one fight of pacs where there was real concern if he would win. Plus its hard for me to respect some of his wins where they used cheap parlor tricks. Like wt draining and stipulating a man must be at wt drain status on fight night. Floyd fought his opposition at the wt they were comfortable at. He didnt need a unearned advantage before the fight.

There were so many good fights pac could have been in but he chose old men and safe fights. The only fight that floyd didnt make was margarito. And that fight was not made because arum low balled him. When oscar and floyd left arum they learned just how much they could earn without arum cheating them. Same with cotto he had his largest payday.the point being floyd fought all who wanted a boxing lesson. He didnt need to fight the same dude 4 times.

Did people really think pac was in trouble vs timmy bradley? Are you serious?

Corrales: Was known to have a big problem making weight. He had the flu, was severely weight drained and was thinking about going to jail for a while. So those odds are a joke!

One fight?

Oscar fight. Manny was a huge underdog. Go check out the interview of Roger Mayweather. He said its a joke of a fight because Manny has no chance.

Young hungry fighter in his prime? You are saying don't say Bradley but leading into the fight, he was considered to be trouble for Manny. My only concern for Bradley was not having much to show for at 147. So there was a question mark there.


You said "Floyd fought his opposition at the wt they were comfortable at." That is a big joke. See below:


Fights at WW:
Marquez = 0
Hatton = 1
Ortiz = 1
Sharmba = 1
Guerrero = 2

Last year, Floyd was said to fight Khan next but Khan lost to Garcia. Another guy with no fights at WW.
