Originally posted by Redd Foxx View PostNot 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.

Guys probably pick up their nicknames in the earlier days when they're fighting lesser comp and just running through fighters.Last edited by Ryn0; 04-16-2016, 05:58 PM.

I was never impressed with him. It actually surprised me when so many boxing experts picked him to beat Mayweather, including Roberto Duran and Emmanuel Steward.

And I really don't want to watch his fights against Katsidis, Escobedo and Casamayor again. He works really hard to win rounds. His fights are grueling.
