    Once you learn it from where ever, you have the right to teach it to anyone. What's the problem with that? I personally, don't have a friend who would care about this particular fact.

          Not quite. Guerrero was the "Ghost" because he was gone every time the opponent went to hit him. Before he jumped two weight classes and went after Mayweather at 147, he was actually fairly quick and elusive. That weight jump was the best thing he's ever done for his bank account, and the worst for his record. His style changed entirely.

          Garcia was very "swift" with the counters in his early days. I agree that he's pretty slow now and his nickname hasn't been appropriate for at least a couple years.

                Cause at any given moment he cant activate his 6th toe and hit a 6 foot vertical or lung 22 feet. He doesnt do it though anymore cause he says being puerto rican he gets made fun of enough he dont need the extra ridicule.

                      Name changes should be in order.

                      Floyd went from PBF to $ May to TBE.

                      One name change shouldn't break Garcia and Guerrero
