    Floyd fought two Jesus Chavez in his career lol. The first one was an unknown southpaw journeyman out of Mexico. Floyd finished him with a triple or quad right hand.

    I'm talking about the other Jesus Chavez, not the more famous one who also fought Morales. Lefties tend to land their power shots at a relatively high rate on Mayweather. They also get hit with a higher percentage of power shots. I'd still like to see Mayweather against Pacquiao.

    How can u say he is the worst. He may not be as athletic or as fast but hes beat and looked great in spots vs good opponents. And i wouldnt doubt that Guerrero will go on to win against a top current 140 opponent moving up or 147 opponent.

    Team Guerrero was fooled just as much as i was. Guerrero had 0 game-plan for a very mobile Mayweather. And i cant recall anyone saying Floyd would fight the way he did last night. There werent too many technical breakfowns of how the fight would play out. I even posted a thread on what Floyd Sr. would change in Floyd and nobody said a word. Guerrero was consistant with his body shots but couldnt put together any combinations. The jab had some success early and late as well but couldnt get anything behind it. That was some brilliant work by Floyd.
