Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Guerrero is Tougher Than Cotto For Floyd Jr.

Cotto > Guerrero. All day, every day.

I think De la Hoya knows more about boxing than all of us put together so ill take his word

He actually does know more about boxing and knows enough to as a Promotor to sell a fight that's in reality a junk fight.

Oscar also said pre fight that he felt great and the weight wasnt an issue to come down to before Pacman embarrassed him now the weight was an issue. Hmmm.. Keep in mind he's a Promotor and his job is to tell people what they want to hear and believe

I think today's version of Cotto sparks Guerrero.. Cottons been a WW longer and had need in there with the best.

Watching RG move up the weights not once have I thought he would be a threat to Floyd..

A fight between the top welter coming off a year of activity and the top 3 welterweight... It's gonna be tough.

Guerrero isn't stronger that Cotto, but that was not even a prime Cotto that Floyd fought... that's why Floyd ducked Cotto until Cotto got whupped by Margarito and Pac.

I wish mofos would stop saying that Floyd lost his legs... cause then Floyd might think it's okay to be a lil bit*ch and start running again.

I hope Guerrero brings the heat, cause we don't wanna see Rigondo/Donaire again... having said that, Rigondo has good pop so Donaire was scared. Hopefully Guerrero's chin is good enough to take anything Floyd lands and walk through it like a true mexican. He's gonna need it to get close and smother Floyd and grind it out.

Having said all that, DLH is a lil crossdresser and is just tryin to sell the fight.

Todays Cotto. Yes. Cotto before Margarito...No. Ive always said something was taken out of Cotto that fight.
Guererro is a hungry lion. Hasn't really been beat down. Still got a lot of improving to do and is in no way showing signs of slowing down. I cant say the same for Cotto at this point!

I really don't see why Floyd is considered a ducker when the only fight that he may have ducked is Pac and that's debatable because both sides have had their share of excuses or good reasons for not making the fight happen.

People say that Floyd fought washed up fighters but Floyd is older than Cotto and he's not washed up. Floyd fought Marquez after coming out of retirement and white washed him. He fought Mosely after he disrespected him during an interview and white washed him. Fought Hatton when he was undefeated and was suppose to overpower Floyd. He fought Ortiz who is no walk in the park. In regards to some of those fighters and even Oscar, Floyd fought and beat them first, then Pac fought them. Regardless, they both won their fights and they still should fight each other and I can care less who win, although I would root for Floyd. Neither is paying my bills so I don't care, I just like to see fights.

I would say that Floyd has ducked Jr. middlewieght competition, but Floyd is not a 154 pounder and if he was, he would have about 4 loses on his record right now because he is not that good at that weight. He would have dominated Cotto at 147. As a matter of fact, Floyd should give that Jr. MW belt up.

With that being said, the best 147 pounders are:
1. Floyd
2. JMM
3. Pacquiao
4. Bradley
5. Ghost
6. Alexander

I think that if Floyd wins against the Ghost, he can fight Pac and Bradley and then considered the division cleaned out. If he can go down a few pounds and fight Khan, Danny Garcia, Rios, Alvarado, Peterson and/or Matthysse at a catchweight, even though he claims that he don't like catchweights, those would be some good fights that he could possibly lose as he gets up in age. For Floyd's final 6 fights, I would like to see him fight in this order:

1. Ghost (Because he's good, he earned it and it's already scheduled)
2. Bradley (Because he has heart, he's champ and could possibly beat floyd)
3. Pac (Because it wouldn't be right if it didn't happen)
4. Garcia (If he still has a belt, but I doubt he will have it very long)
5. Rios (Because he's definitely not scared. Would be the best AllAccess Ever)
6. Khan (If he avenge his loses. He could possibly beat Floyd)

Overall, the biggest fight which Floyd may not take because he is too big, but may take because it would be a big payday is Canelo. I don't see Floyd beating him but we'll see.

Can't wait to see Floyd put some work in.
Guerrero is non stop come at you fighter, we'll see how Floyd's so called legs a shot.
Floyd will mix it up, I expect to see more jabs from money.

[Hyper Knuckles]

Don't get me wrong Cotto is good, and so is Robert, maybe he don't have the power Cotto has, but he has enough to hurt you, and his boxing skill is better than Cotto with a awesome chin to go along with it, he will be putting a lot of purresure on Chicken Floyd come fight night, can't wait!

Guerrero's a better boxer than Cotto...? Guerrero is just filler for a matchup with Canelo down the line. The only thing Ghost has to offer is youth. He's hungry and unaware of the magnitude of this fight. Floyd is going to stop him.

This is another mismatch! Guerrero style is perfect for Floyd, (slow, straight forward, no head movement, slow, & slow). Making mismatches is Golden Boy's motto! Its funny how Golden Boy seem shocked after HBO's decision! Stop matching your cash fighters in mismatches.

thinking out loud how was gbp shocked? it was no big secret they were leaving hbo. when their man got hired to run showtime sports they were on board. gbp ditched hbo not the other way around.
