    If you are arguing that Guerrero is a better fighter or matchup against Floyd than Bradley, your opinion of me doesn't mean much.

    Sorry but stopped reading after that line there. If Mayweather-Ortiz, which made zero sense, sold then expect any Mayweather fight to sell big. Remember how Mayweather-Marquez made zero sense and a lot of fans laughed out loud at that fight only to see it sell for over a million? Please note that Marquez' highest selling PPV prior to Mayweather was Pacquiao II and that made 400k. The days of discussing Mayweather not selling **** for PPVs died since 2007. At this stage, Mayweather could fight you and still sell big.

    He definitely deserves the payday and chance, though he doesn't deserve the negativity following the fight especially when he's young and early in his career. Guess I'm a long-term type of person, even though it's great for him now I hate to see things turn ugly as years go by for someone great as Guerrero.

    I'm implying Arum would never make the Mayweather/Bradley bout. You know this.

    People need to realize that what Guerrero is doing is pretty amazing. He went from 126 to 135 and then straight to 147 to fight a guy Berto had been avoiding for a long time. Then he takes on Berto himself and schools him.

    I honestly dont know how people can hate on him so much. He made weight jumps ala Pac but they were even more legit than Pacs. The guy is likeable and has a great back story. Golden Boy might have just gotten themselves another star.

    Arum would definitely make a Mayweather Bradley fight, if he could get the contract terms he wanted, unfortunately I doubt Floyd would accept those terms. I also doubt Arum would accept the terms Floyd makes.

    In this situation if I was Bradley, I would force Bobs hand and make the fight.

    Bull****.
    No one avoided Berto.
    Berto lost to ****ing Collazo and Zaveck. Was brutally beaten by Vic. Then before he could be KO'd again contaminent made his drug test flag.

    That said Berto has never been an elite 147 fighter, simply because he never had the ability to box. Vic Ortiz a 140 fighter beat his ass after failing to KO lamont Peterson and being hurt by Peterson worse than he was against ****ing Berto.

    Let that sink in before you try to crown Guerrero as doing anything worth a damn. Hell, ****ing Selcuk Aydin had Guerrero hurt worse and fought better against him than Berto. Aydin isn't **** at the world stage.

    Guerrero was matched up properly and now GBP will get a huge payout from him and the B-side he brings when he fights Floyd during a mexican holiday.

    I don't think anyone hates him at all, Mayweather is just not a fight good for him so early in his career.

    You're actually not trolling today. I agree with this 100%.

    I also agree with what you said about Bradley.

    And you're right, Aydin, was very raw and unrefined.

    I understand what you are saying but a Mayweather fight would be 3 to 5 years worth of income for the young man and 'in the bank' if his wife's illness should happen to return. We already know he will walk away from boxing for her. I hate to look at it like that, but......

    If I was Floyd I would fight Broner over Guerro. The fight would do good numbers and he can finally take the passenger seat on promoting a fight with antics and calling his daddy a ****** by letting Broner act a fool. And it shows the generic carbon copy will never beat the original.
