      i haven't seen the latest guerrero fight yet.


      he was in wars with berto, that japanese fighter kamegai. anybody who didn't see deterioration in light of that performance was missing things.

      the berto fight was particularly brutal.

        The Welterweight division is an overrated division, it's perceived to be great because it's mainstream (the most popular division) and the two biggest boxing stars reside in them. People hate to hear it, but it's the truth. Mayweather is in a league of his own currently (even at this age), because these young up and comers are still inexperienced and imo are not as good as people want to believe (and of course because he's a great boxer). Robert Guerrero was never that great of a fighter, even at Featherweight and Super Featherweight guys gave him tough fights. Guerrero is a top 10 fighter at 147 now, that's says a lot. We do have to take into account the beating Thurman gave him but even before Thurman, Guerrero basically went life and death against Kamegai.

        Obviously people will disagree with me, but it's cool at the end of the day this is my opinion (so don't get too butthurt). Boxing is subjective, I always say.

          Yep. Every welterweight who gets 1 good win is instantly a superstar because they're touted as "the answer to Floyd" (previously to Manny as well).

          When you actually run through the list... It's a bunch of guys who have 1 good win each then wait around milking it hoping Floyd calls them. Really shallow division right now.

            I don't know if Thurman sapped whatever was left in Guerrero, or if he was done before that, but he was horrible in this fight. That KD was scary, he slumped to the canvas like he was unconscious.

              I'd say thurman did sap the last out of him. Guerrero always had a pretty good chin until now. I think thurman cracked it!

                Looks better to me now that I think he's ruined his azz.

                  When it comes to Guerrero, there was one fight where it all changed, and it was against this guy



                  Grueling fight, both guys took a load of punishment.

                  He also doesn't belong at that weight, he's there for the money

                    Pretty much. People are easily fooled.

                      I think most of these guys are not as good as people think. The mid 2000s WW's were a lot better. I would pick Cotto, Mosley, Williams, Margarito, Clottey, even Cintron over most of these guys.

                      Guerrero was never that good man. He's never even beaten a b level fighter. Lost to Salido, quit against Yordan. He beat an ancient Casa and Katsidis.
