    He brought up how he studied more than just the Cotto fight, but his father is bitching about Floyd "running".

    Did they really believe Floyd when he said toe 2 toe at that faceoff?:think:huh:blood:yikes

    Who knows. I do remember him saying he was prepared for everything: an outside fight, inside fight, etc. Ehh regardless he had twelve rounds to adjust. He just wasn't prepared for any Mayweather.

    no it looked like he wanted to make Floyd lead and counter him early on and it appeared to be working a little. But Floyd is the king of adjustments

    They probably had the same mindset that about 70% of boxing fans had at the moment,Floyd legs were gone.

    No, he just wasn't prepared for any of it.

    His dad was just butthurt and trying to save face.

    They trained hard, but had no blueprint to study from.

    I don't think he was aggressive enough. He could have been worried about Mayweather lead right hand

    They were expecting the Floyd of recent to show up. A more flat-footed and aggressive Floyd. There is some evidence of this in how Guerrero came in so big, expecting a physical fight when they could have cut the weight very early in camp, focus on hand and foot speed and come in light, say 145 at least. Like many of us, underestimated Floyd, and expected a physical, tough fight. But not once did Floyd sacrifice himself to do damage to his opponent like he did vs Cotto. It was a boxing clinic and im happy to see the old Floyd is back.

    His preparation wasn't the problem, the problem was that he was facing a fighter who is markedly better in every conceivable way.

    No he was just overmatched he would lose regardless of what gameplan he had.

    Guerrero prepared for a pay day.
