    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.
    And berto, who has proven to be pretty average. This is what kills me about today's fans. A guy beats some mediocre "champion" and somehow is the greatest thing ever. Ww is very overrated.

            Well it was an appropriate comment. People rate ghost because he fought Floyd but, he was never anything special.

                He was better than getting nearly knocked out by a guy who can't punch and hasn't fought in more than a year. Guerrero has faded badly. It's just a question of when it happened.

                  Lol no, apparently I'm not rican enough because I don't approve of Cotto's every action according to some **** named fantasiabruja lol

                    Ya getting dropped today is a shocker. He's always been a solid fighter but has definitely faded lately.

                      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.
                      Yeah pretty much! All of these guys haven't done anything to deserve a Mayweather fight. They have like one decent win. I believe Floyd and Manny benefited from fighting in a weak Welterweight era (last decade or so). Don't get me wrong Floyd would have done great in any era and Manny would have held his own. I'm a critic of boxing from the past (as I feel it gets overrated), but yeah this Welterweight era was weak (in MY opinion).

                      Fighters in this weight class gets overrated, because it get a lot of TV coverage. So people perceive it as a great weight class. Then they say other weight classes are wack, I love Keith Thurman but he needs more work and experience.
