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

[ddangerous]

I like both fighters.

Floyd isn't an humble person, I'll give Guerrero that. But Guerrero isn't exactly being humble either. He is doing a lot of talking, basically proclaiming that he feels like he is the chosen one in this match.

That sounds an awful lot like pride as well.

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.

uhm.... you've never read the bible have you?

Lets cite those three fights mentioned. Hatton, Cotto, Ortiz.

Hatton was much smaller, one dimensional, and led with his chin. That certainly didn't take much to fighure out. Pacquiao knocked him stone cold in 2 rounds.

Cotto well past his prime, roughed up Floyd, bloodied his nose, roughed up his face, made him fight the entire fight. Cotto was stronger, but has had too many wars and couldn't turn it up a notch to stop Floyd. Mayweather made Cotto and Mosley wait more than 10 years before he would fight either, as they were too dangerous in their prime.

Ortiz, had the game plan, the size, the hand speed, the toughness, and was manhandling Floyd around the ring and on the ropes. THEN Ortiz got ******, looked at the ref on a break with his hands at his sides, and Floyd seized the opportunity to land on him with a dirty shot, so to get out of a fight, he clearly knew was not going well for him. Ortiz was finished. Young & ******. Ortiz had the shot of a lifetime, was really doing a number on Floyd, would have stopped Floyd later in the fight had it continued, then got blind shot.

Guerrero won't be ****** like Ortiz. He is not past his prime like Cotto. He is certainly not one dimensional, or a lead with your chin like Hatton. Guerrero is larger and stronger than Ortiz and Hatton, a primed version of Cotto, with a LOT of heart, no fear, a lot of fight within. This will be the end of the trail for Floyd when he gets knocked out my Guerrero.

What?!?!?!?!?!?! Manhandling who???? I'm sorry... In the fight I watched, Mayweather was continually landing his right hand (at will) and it really didn't seem like it was going to go 12 rounds at all. Did Ortiz have his moments? Absolutely. Problem is that, against Floyd, you have to do more than just having a few moments of success. Leading with his head like he did against Berto will not work with Floyd either. Guerrero NEEDS to start training and stop preaching! I wonder if he's somehow expecting God to magically get him ready for this fight... Just saying.

well according to Guerrero's logic it makes sense because Floyd is the villain

Hmmm...I don't remember Floyd freezing up at all. What I saw was a Guerrero that looked like he'd seen a real ghost when Floyd walked up on him. I like upsets and high drama in these high profile bouts, so I'm hoping Robert gets it together and does what he says he's gonna do come fight night.

[Basco]

1. He has a chance to win because he's Floyd's opponent (any given Sunday)
2. He's a South Paw, with similar height and reach
3. Can maintain a high punch output
4. Has shown a sturdy chin
5. Can box and brawl
6. He is driven by his faith
7. Willing to cheat (he'll hold and hit)
8. Floyd is getting up in age/slowing down (cotto fight)

Hope at least one of these gives RG a "chance" to win

All good valid points. Will it be enough come fight night? Will he be able to take advantage of any one of these factors? I sure hope so, can't wait!

robert sand his dad talk big game, but like someone on here said, i don't see how robert will beat floyd, knock him out doesn't have the power, out box ........, and i can't see anyone outpointing floyd

I'm totally disregarding your first line..your business!
But as far as "god given talent..or gifted"...which is what he always says..he's basically saying he was born with his talent..since God is the creator, that's the way its usually referred...I think you took that too literal.

Ok, let's see... God created him, gave him such a gift that he can't loose to a fighter at his weight. If he's not lying about God, God obviously favors him over every other fighter around his weight.

[flint]

As soon as people start talking about God as if he was real, I pack my **** and leave.Religion is insanity

dude.GOD is real. hope you change your attitude before your time is up. you going to have some serious explaining to do at judgement.i acknowlege JESUS CHRIST everyday.

"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"

He surely can't believe that can he?

Have you never read the Old Testament ?
