how much you think this 6 fight deal is worth? 300 million plus? I must say though, I really have to commend Guerrero. Persistence paid off. Less then a year ago people were laughing at him for calling out floyd. He was seen as joke. Even mayweather said he hadnt heard of 'the ghost' and now look
I'd have much preferred the Bradley fight but I can live with this. Super fight with the winner of canelo-trout in September so he takes care of his mando in the meantime (a mando who rightly or wrongly is currently #3 ww and #10 p4p). I'm not ecstatic but it is an acceptable fight. It's gonna be interesting seeing how long he can keep up this two division championship reign. Surely if he beats canelo he'll have to choose a division to stay in? All things considered it ain't a bad schedule he's got lined up here.
I think it speaks more to how incredibly highly Floyd is rated by people that this fight is seen as a mismatch,as opposed to Ghost being a poor opponent. Guererro is a 4 weight world champ,hasnt lost in nearly 8 years,and is legitimately ranked in the top 5 of the division.
Heavily favor Mayweather but Guerrero's good enough to let us know where Floyd's at. I think people's claims of Floyd being so far removed from his prime are exaggerated but I have a feeling his age will truly start to show soon.
I rate him very highly. I can't think of a welter I pick to give him a competitive fight. I do agree rob is a legitimate top 6 ww (Floyd, Marquez, Pac, Bradley, Alexander then Rob) but I appreciate I'm in the minority (I think beating maidana and bailley is marginally better than beating aydin and berto). So given rob's high ranking and status it is a legit fight. Some exaggerating by you there though about rob, 4 weight champ? Really? I think he spent a bit of time as the best feather in the world after Marquez left the division but since then he's been nothing more than a well ranked challenger and occasional paper titlist. He's earnt his shot but let's not go overboard. Floyd will push his **** in and he'll not get much credit for doing so since we all expect it anyways.
6 fight deal? Guerrero Alvarez/Trout ? ? ? ? That is a pretty ambitious deal. Will Floyd make it thru with his "0"?
For those of you in clined towards gambling. The odds out of the cage are Mayweather 1/16 Guererro 7/1
I hope Ghost surprises a lot of people. anyways, happy he got the fight, while not really deserving it, his story is deserving of it. gratz on the millions, his wife will have many happy days.
If I could pick 6 fights over the next 3 years ghost Canelo/trout Bradley Molina Lara Martinez That sees him clean up 147-154 plus finish off with a fight against the (by then) long reigning great middleweight champion.
