True or False: Guerrero beats the piss out of Broner?

[DoktorSleepless]

You can say a lot of things about The Ghost but you can't deny the fact that he's earned his spot amongst the Top Ten Welterweight unlike Broner.

What the hell did Guerrero do to earn a top 10 spot?

I like Guerrero but he's very slow and I think Broner speed will give him problems. The key is whether or not Broner can make The Ghost pay when he tries to get inside. If Broner can keep distance and force the ghost backwards he should be able to pull it out.

If Ghost actually uses his jab and is able to get inside and work it will be a long day for Broner.

I actually like that Ghost only got hit like a third of time an opponent threw rather than like half. So while he took big shots he was actual avoiding more than he has been, which is always a good thing.

The problem was he needed to go to the aggressive well earlier with Thurman if he really wanted to win, and it was kind of working. The problem would be that would negate that first statement I said and Guerrero would have got him a lot more.

When it comes to Broner I don't think Broner hits hard enough nor does he have good enough footwork or good enough defense to really think that Guerrero wouldn't find success. Broner would obviously find Guerrero a lot also.

That is a really good fight if they make it and is honestly the best spot the can put Broner in and I am sure Guerrero would love that fight also.


So true, win or lose I think Broner feels that fight.

What the hell did Guerrero do to earn a top 10 spot?

More then Broner has done to be rated in the top ten of the 140lbs division.

Victory over then rated #10 Aydin and victory over then rated #4 or #5 Berto. Plus a fight of the year contender with Kamegai. Plus a really good fight with Thurman.

I think the problem with this analysis is that Broner isn't that fast. His handspeed is decent against slower fights without much boxing exp. but it won't me much of a factor against The Ghost. I mean look at the Maidana fight, Broner hand speed was null when he fought a guy willing and looking to trade.

Ghost is a better boxer and counter puncher. But that's only looking at things you can see with your eyes. The Ghost has better intangibles: heart, determination, passion, and will. If Maidana was able to beat the fight out of Broner than Robert will be able too.

8 to 4 for the Ghost.

At welterweight Guerrero appears very limited and crude. He is the type of fighter who has to get on the inside and grind it out for the full twelve rounds in order to have a chance to win.

If a fighter can keep a safe distance from him chances are they will defeat him. He had trouble closing the gap against Thurman; Who in my opinion beat him more convincingly than Mayweather.

Anybody saying Broner must be high or are highly kidding themselves

[Hype job]

I have a feeling Haymon's gonna put this one together.

[Cuban Linx]

Guerrero will lose another wide decision to the Broner we saw the other night. That the best version of Broner I've seen. Meanwhile Guerrero looked the same as he's looked in previous fights. He's regressing as a fighter. Broner on the other hand is improving.

False. One of the few top fighters though that Gurerro can beat
