How I would advise Robert Guerrero to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr.

tezel the southpaw right jab isn't in the same alignment as Cotto's jab would be. it's not going to land at the same angles. He can use it to set up a shot, but it's not going to drive him back like a stiff left jab did with Oscar and Cotto.

 

Sorry, it's very rare that Mayweather get's hit flush in some instances.

Cotto a BOSS.

:yep:good

 

Cotto did what I haven't seen any other fighter do, and that was; he got inside Mayweathers head and disrupted his rhythm. It started with that offbeat jab and that in turn allowed him to do some other things that had limited success. However, Mayweather did adjust and won the fight by a comfortable margin. If a fighter wants to be successful with Floyd, he has to out-think him for the majority of the fight or get lucky and knock his ass out.I just don't see a fighter at 147 that can do that right now.:bbb

 

Guerrero is too slow and doesn't have enough power top trouble PBF IMO. His roughhouse tactics worked against Bertyo because Berto is one dimesional has suspect stamina and can't fight on the inside. He can't think he will be able to bully and roughhouse a guy like PBF who will beat him at his own game by doing so. I just don't see any way that Guerrero can be really effective against PBF. He might find success early by trying to ambush but by the 4th round he will be figured eat right hands and get walked down and broken down. At the end of the day PBF is too smart and too good for the Ghost. Even this slowed version of PBF has the Ghost beat at all ranges. I see the Ghost wining 3 rounds at best in this fight but his grit and toughness will make it look like he was more competetive than he really was.

 

Cheers for Floyd to always fight these young lions who's best win is Andre Berto. When the likes of Guerrero and Ortiz calls him out he all of the sudden ready to die. Just wait for the hype from team money trying to make this look like a even match up

 

Cotto looks like a midget mime there. lol

This new Mayweather with his enhancements is very comfortable with shoulder rolling against southpaws, especially rolling with their jabs

 

From the little we saw against Ortiz, if you are going to be jabbing Mayweather from the southpaw stance, it has to be a stiff jab, feint with it, body and head. Mayweather used Ortiz's jab as a trigger to land the straight right, whether it landed on Mayweathers shoulder, elbow, forearm, etc...he would fire a right straight back out and then change the angle.

 

Exactly. Which is why I initially said forget about pawing the left jab, Floyd is just going to time that ****.

 

Upset alert.

 

Posts like these are so bad.

Yes Ghost may have great punch output versus X, Y and Z, but Floyd isn't any of them. Floyd (and most effective boxers - JMM, Ward, BHop, etc.) is well known for reducing opponent punch output as fight goes on.

Guerrero has to make it a dogfight and be dirty. Not Judah/Ortiz dirty, but Castillo dirty. Holding, phonebooth fighting, elbows, etc. You CANNOT overcome the skills of Floyd. You need to frustrate Floyd, somehow.

 

How is the post bad when all you're proposing is "be dirty for 12 rounds"? A diversity of tactics is demonstrably better against Floyd and we've seen pure pressure fail on numerous occasions. If you go in the ring thinking Floyd is unbeatable on the outside no matter what you do every moment of the fight, you've lost half the battle already.

 

I hope Nevada appoints a good referee who lets the guys work inside. If it's a Jay Nady-type that breaks them up as soon as they get tangled, forget about it.

 

Is Nady really like that?

 

Not that I'm aware....Cortez is like that. If Money gets a Cortez like ref, the Ghost is in big trouble.
