    Comments Thread For: Robert Guerrero Wants To Reinvent Himself in The Ring

    After returning from retirement, former featherweight, super featherweight and three-time champion Robert Guerrero wants to reinvent himself at the age of 36. Guerrero (35-6-1, 20 KOs) made a name for himself for mixing it up at a feverish pace "Mexican Style" with wins against Andre Berto, Joel Casamayor, Yoshihiro Kamegai, Selcuk Aydin and Michael Katsidis.

    He is one of those guys who is too limited to "re-invent" himself in boxing, but could probably do well in bare-knuckle fighting.

        Better chance of a successful rap career than reinventing himself as a fighter at a past prime age in boxing. I mean he can cut sayings into his hair & breakdance during his ringwalk, but switching up his style this late in the game is a losing battle.

          I believe Robert started doing CrossFit training some time after the Mayweather fight and you could see a difference in his approach, he seemed to slow down and was wearing out early in fights, I could be wrong but it seemed to be detrimental to his technique, I wonder if he would benefit from going to Romanza and seeing if they can help him be a more technical fighter

            Lol re-invent what exactly? Hang them up buddy, you had yourself a very solid career for your skill set and could be proud of what you accomplished. No need to fight on and take beatings like the one you suffered vs Omar.

              Robert was a really solid boxer in the lower weight classes, turned into more of a ****er up at welterweight... I assume out of necessity. Figueroa beat the **** out of him.

              I really think Ghost is done unless he can make 140 or something. Second tier guys like Vargas, Broner, etc all walk through him at 147 at this point.

                He hasn't performed the same since the Floyd fight, and honestly...he acted like he had concrete in his boots in that fight.

                If a guy like Martinez (with 5 wins by KO) can sleep you while your back is against the ropes, it's safe to say your punch resistance is non-existent.

                If anything, Robert's last stand should've been the Thurman fight, but he wouldn't leave well enough alone. Hope he retires, for his family's sake.

                    Robert needs to live up to his nick name. He looked really bad in his final outings it may be time to stay retired.

                    The killers at 147 and 154 would seriously hurt him.
                    The brother has kids and a wife that has fought off cancer. Hope it’s not about the money.
