    Give him 6 months, he'll be back! I like Guerrero, but he isn't done yet (maybe coz of money). I hope I'm wrong in this case. That fight was brutal to watch.

      Good decision, good timing, maybe a tad late but he had to find out for himself and Omar helped. Stay retired.

        Solid fighter with a big heart. Wishing him the best in retirement and good to see a fighter retire before sustaining any major damage. I always enjoyed the father/son combo and their press conferences. Guerrero was always entertaining to watch and I was surprised to see him go down the way he did in his fight with Figueroa.

          Good for him. He can still be involved in the sport just doesn't have to fight.

            Robert lives a pretty simple lifestyle. I'll venture out to say he's likely not spent much of if any of what he was paid for fighting Floyd. Dude still lives in the same house he bought early on with his first big paycheck from a fight. This is one fighter I don't think we have to worry about coming to fight because he's broke. Dude lives like the working class which is commendable because he really doesn't need to live that way if he chose.

              Good info. I guess that's it for him then.

                Indeed, I will say Ruben probably got his son into some hot water over the years but he kept him grounded and did a great job deflecting the distractions associated with boxing from his son. That's where I find the differences between DSG and The Ghost, both dad's love the spotlight but one of those did a better job at keeping their kid grounded and away from dumb shh.

                  What's going on with Danny Garcia these days? Do you know? Haven't heard much about him.

                      He's quiet these days but man that dude was trying to walk around Philly like he was untouchable. He was trying to get his short lived rap career rolling around with the WRONG mofo's to be getting into cars with and rolling around philly with. Seems like finding out his shorty was pregnant and then the birth of his daughter woke him up because he cooled out, if it wasn't for that it was only a matter of time before he caught a charge or worse. Think Mile High Mike just with more dollars.
