    Yeah, I meant more inside.

    The problem for him is that Floyd is a) very well schooled on the inside himself, with those sneaky uppercuts and writhing defense and b) can prevent a determined foe from even getting inside in the first place.

    If Guerrero can lunge/grab his way into close quarters and get away with a few unseen fouls, he can make it hairy. (or at least, hairier than it ever got with Ortiz winging prayers that never had a prayer of catching PBF flush...)

    He'd be a favorite over Chavez. Compubox in that fight would be ridiculous. The guy counting Chavez's connects wouldn't have to use one finger.

    Resuming his role as Mexecutioner. :yep

    I guarantee you half the forum would tip him to get KTFO, though. :nut

    Agreed. We might see Floyd foul right back himself if he feels up to it. Guerrero tying up Floyd's right arm and hitting would make for interesting viewing.

    I think the odds makers will make Floyd about a 5/1 favorite. So at least on paper it is. But given Floyd's age, who knows. At some point, Floyd will look old if he keeps on fighting. Could be this fight.

    When you are fighting a P4P ranked fighter in your weight class and people still consider it a mismatch you know you are good.

    Anything less then25% chance of winning is a mismatch in my book. I say Guerrero has about 10% chance of winning

    Unless Floyd has gotten old, Guerrero will be schooled on the art of infighting. Guerrero's body will be wide open for Floyd. Imo Guerrero can't take body shots, and fight a full 12 like he has been doing.

    Mayweather gets away with taking these types of fights because he knows dumbasses will buy the ppv sad.

    I'd pick Matthysse to ko both.
    But who cares this is still a garbage fight to make when there's much better competition out there.

    cant stand floyd his arrogance lack of care for what fans think but he is undeniably gifted that said he may have good fight on his hands robert near prime good solid boxer with decent punch solid chin plenty of drive will be better than most think still best fight sergio vs floyd but floyd an his bull**** persona would want tarnish his record
