Guerrero doesn't have the power at the higher weights, comes to weigh ins looking soft. if he dropped back down, and given his ability to take a shot from one of the biggest punchers out weighin you by 15 odd pound, he could give alot of people problems.
And that's not Thurman's fault, even to an extent i cant really blame Guerrero, sometimes you have to go where the money is at his age, and thats 147-154 for him.
Guerrero had only fought once in almost two years and when he fought, he was badly hurt in outpointing Yoshihiro Kamegai, an average boxer with no special achievements except a high KO percentage. Thurman was going to beat Guerrero before their fight even started, he was completely shot...
u really wanna bring this asinine argument up now?
That was a good win for Thurman, I want to see Porter/Brook/Maidana next
Khan and Brook need to fight each other before they fight anyone else, we need to see who the English champ is. However, Thurman against Maidana or Porter would be awesome, I can only agree to that.
Guerrero wasn't shot, he's simply not that good at Welterweight. His three wins at Welterweight are all life-and-death wars against fairly limited opponents and his two losses to Floyd and Thurman were blowouts. Now Floyd is obviously great and Thurman is very good so there's no shame there despite the one-sided nature of those fights, but the three wins are more telling. He struggled to beat Aydin(who has since lost to JSK and Postol), struggled to beat Berto(who has since lost to JSK), and struggled to beat Kamegai(who was just badly outboxed by Gomez). You have to praise The Ghost for his toughness and heart but he's basically a top 20 or so level Welterweight, if that. He just gets more hype because of his backstory and the Floyd fight.
