I dont think hes as good as vargas. Hes more like a brandon rios or adrien broker who was a very good lightweight but hasnt accomplished jack **** at 147. Vargas seems to have alot more power at 147 and arguably his best win at 147. Guerrero is a joke, nowhere near deserving of a title shot unless he can show hes more than a punching bag at 147.The reason Guerrero keeps getting title shots is obvious- money. He has the name recognition and he can still beat most WWs. He isn't beating Thurman, Garcia, or Spence or Porter or Brook but he is about the same as Vargas, Chaves, Berto, Peterson. He is a multi-division champ, one time top ten p4p fighter, who will beat any journeyman and will lose to any elite opponent. He is a gatekeeper. Truthfully, if he wins he would make good fodder for Spence's first title defense. Or he could give AB his first win at WW. As long as he keeps beating every opponent that isn't elite he will continue to get title shots. Risk-reward favors him. The reward from him is probably greater than that of Spence (due strictly to name recognition) but the risk is considerably less.Comment

Guerrero is merely a gate keeper at 147 unfortunately. I can see him being fed to Spence. A nice name and record but badly beaten by Thurman and who gets a decision against Garcia?!Comment

I wouldn't mind seeing Pacquiao vs. Guererro if they both win, especially if Guererro wins by KO. I wouldn't want to pay $60, but I would be interested in seeing Manny go at it with a southpaw who can punch:
January 9, 2014:
According to Roach, although Pacquiao doesn't mind avenging his controversial loss to undefeated welterweight champion Timothy Bradley, in his opinion, there's not enough money to make the fight worth his star pupil's while. Instead, Roach would prefer having Pacquiao face someone that Floyd Mayweather just fought, like Robert Guerrero, in hopes of scoring a more impressive victory.
"[Robert] Guerrero has sparred with Manny many times and he thinks he gets the best of Manny. He's made that public before that he used to beat Manny up in sparring. I see it a different way, but I would love that fight and I think it's a great fight.

would be funny if it were that many and all of them were interim titles
