    He did not look good, and truthfully he hasn't in some time. We all thought the Kamegai war was a bit of a surprise too, but this was even more alarming. I don't know if I'd jump all the way to calling him "shot," but we are seeing some warning signs that that could be quickly happening. Wonder what Haymon will do with him now - gotta be a tough call when you put a guy in a bounce-back kind of fight and he gets his ass whipped. Do you give him another soft fight or do you sacrifice him for the sake of building another? Haymon is really terrible at building stars, so he might be dumb enough to think sacrificing a shot Ghost for a second time will really win fans for Danny Garcia.

      not to mention that he had a full career at 126-135.

      guerrero had a heck of a chin in his prime. i haven't seen his most recent fight, but the shots he took form this light puncher are shots he'd eat when he was more durable.

        His defense looks worse than Brandon's and Ruslan Provodnikov's. He was just never that good, specifically at welter and his dirty tactics make it worse.

            Also i agree he is not shot, he's the same Guerrero he has always been

            He came into this fight not showing respect to the opponent, 3 months after a 12 round fight with Thurman

            Its probably hard to motivate urself for these typa fights when uve been fighting against big names in boxing

                the berto fight was the real war that took a lot out of robert guerrero.
                you make a valid point

                    This nobody that arguably beat him this weekend. He was some random pillow puncher who hadn't been in the ring in a year. Guerrero used to be better than nearly getting knocked unconscious by guys like that. Hell, he just took Keith Thurman's best punches a couple months ago.

                      ghost has been pretty crap since coming up to welterweight. it's more than just changing up his style once he arrived at 147 though. i think guerrero has always had a tendency to underestimate and look past opponents. gamaliel diaz 1 and daud yordan are fights that come to mind.
