        guerrero actually in the past looked pretty good but now looks like a glorified brandon rios
        Yeah, Guerrero struggled through karaoke night and forgot most of the words. He's just not that good. Maidana is a better fighter.

          He dominated the fight, it wasnt impressive because of all the bs that surrounded it, gloves ring, ref
          He didnt show he was TBE and planets apart from maidana or any other fighters like he claimed himself to be. I thought this is where he would separate himself like he said. He graded himself c minus, after all the advantages he had, i think fans should do the same.
          Maidana again did more damage than floyd even after landing all those punches.

            Age is what happened.

            He is almost 40 years old and is clearly faded. A guy who relies so much on reflexes and split second reactions will always fade with age. You can also see him take more rounds off which is another age thing.

            Still won the fight easy, but guys who shouldn't even be good enough to win rounds against Mayweather can now win several.

              Fully agree, it's age. Even last night, he looked really good in the first three rounds, but by the midway point the same sharpness wasn't there. Everything was starting to look more laboured.

              Have to give some credit to Maidana too, there are probably a number of guys out there who would still make Floyd look like he did against Guerrero. But his body is deteriorating and there's little that can be done to stop it.

                He looked far from unbeatable.

                Maybe to some, that can't see what's infront of them.

                But he was clearly well into decline. Even at 35.

                He just fought two favourable styles in 2013.

                  The Cotto fight was significant, Miguel made Floyd look beatable that night. But a lot of people chose to believe that Mayweather deliberately made it entertaining and saw the Guerrero fight as further evidence of that. Maidana put that notion to bed.

                    Ever since the Mosley fight he's been a lot less mobile.

                      Very impressed. That said, I still don't like the way he looked. His age is really showing.
