    I don't hear anything about him anymore. I remember about 3 years ago everyone was saying that he would beat Manny Pacquiao. Since the Ali Funeka fight no one wants to fight him. He should just move to 140 because he had trouble making 135.

    there was an article that he has some kind of disease which makes it hard for him to control his weight, but i can't be bothered to search for it


    it was posted about 2 months back i believe


    edit: i think it had to do with testosterone, but i could be mistaken
     
  3. I think he would've beaten Pacquiao at 130 had they fought back then. But now Pacquiao has carried his weight a lot better than Guzman has.

    He fought ali funeka couple of months back but failed to make weight again. He came in as a welterweight and beat a lightweight funeka to a UD. Haven't heard any news from him since.

    I'm sure I read somewhere that he's been banned for taking tablets to help him lose weight.

    I know there were weight issues in that fight, but I thought Guzman had to take a diretic as well. :think

    Guzman was always massively overrated.

    I wonder if those who thought he could beat a prime Pacquiao actually saw Guzman's fight against Barrios.

    He didnt do too bad in the second Funeka fight seeing as he was overweight and Funeka had taken illegal substances.

    Guzman weighing in at 144 lbs while Funeka has to drug himself to be able to drain to make 135lbs means that Guzman had a huge advantage, not Funeka.
