    Well kind of hard to gauge since he hasnt fought at that weight. Well actually i take that back . I think he fought Casamayor there... He got dropped once.

    But Guerrero is the truth guys. He has gotten so much better. I think it might have to be with his wife getting better. I counted him out after the Yordan fight but he has impressed me more and more with each fight.
    Also the kid is built to climb weight classes so i think even at 147 he will look good if he adds the weight properly.

    Guerrero beats Rios IMO. Probably even JMM as much as it pains me to say it.
    Guerrero-Khan at 140 would be great right now.

    Guerrero aint beating Rios, let alone JMM (IMO).

    I actually think Maidana is gonna be too much for him and smash him up. I just dont think so highly of him. He could probably beat the likes of Alexander and Judah, but he gets whooped by the likes of Khan, Maidana, and even Matthysee.

    The guy has good boxing skills along with a big power left and right hook. His power had carried very well up in weight.

    Guerrero stops Rios. He is going to walk him into counter lefts and right hooks until he drops. This is the type of fight that i love. A non stop pressure fighter against a cagey counter puncher.

    I only agree with the bold..thats why a Marquez-Rios fight should take place!

    He's never fought at 140 so we will see how good he is in a few weeks.

    I know right?

    One thing for sure tho, any fight involving Rios will be great to watch. (unless its against MAB, i really dont wanna see him get battered).

    Yet to be determined. I'm not sure how well his chin will hold up, or if he'll have the power to keep a top JWW away from him. We'll see.

    He fought Casamayor at 140. Well a little under 140 from what boxrec says. I thought i remembered 140 on the dot though.

    just listening to you guys mantion these different names. reminds me that the 140 division in on FIRE! guys like khan, bradley, alexander and maidana at the top. then the likes of mathysse, judah, marquez challenging and guys coming up like rios and geurrero. so many great match ups!

    Robert is a good fighter, and I think he'd be a handful for anyone at 140lbs. I actually like the kid a lot.
     
  12. Well, since he hasn't really fought at that weight I'll reserve judgement until he's got some fights @ 140 under his belt.

    I think he's a very solid fighter he impressed me with how he dealt with katsidis as he didnt look too great against casa IMO. I guess my question is how will he react if maidana lands that huge right he landed on Ortiz..
