I think he might give Floyd a harder fight. Cotto was past his prime and coming off some bad beatings by Margarito and Pacquiao. Cotto lacks the stamina to pressure Floyd with a fast pace. Floyd is older now than when he fought Cotto and he has been out of action for a while. Guerrero is dead in his prime and coming off two good wins so he should be at his best. Guerrero has never taken a beating.He is fearless and tough and come to the ring in top condition. He has the stamina and constant attacking style to put some real pressure on old Floyd. He is a southpaw and a smart determined fighter. I don't think he will win but I do think he will give Floyd a harder fight than Cotto did.

At 147 what impressed me is that he was willing to abandon his classy boxing and get a little rough. Just to show his toughness and strength and to prove that these guys weren't going to be able to push him around.
All in all he's a very versatile fighter.
Guerrero is such and unknown it's not even funny..Berto Aydin and Katsidis!!!!!!!Oh boy..Masterful boxing..

After the Berto fight, Guerrero said that his trainer said he cannot fight like how he did against Berto anymore because his career will end very very soon if he keeps it up. And Guerrero said himself that its true, his career won't last long if he continues.
But that is Guerreros preferred and best fighting style. He's been doing it for so long, it's not possible to change now.

That's not to say that he will beat Floyd. But he should be very competitive with him.

I disagree. Guerrero's preferred style is to box, not to brawl. The fact that he has shown the ability to do both (and the fact the he was able to brawl successfully against welterweights) is what impresses me about him. He is not one dimensional.

I think Cotto did pretty damn well. He clearly lost but also clearly won a few rounds. More than anyone else in several years.
No Guerrero will not put up a better fight i think.
