    Robert Guerrero has a good shot at beating Mayweather. But like someone mentioned, its likely Guerrero might be a little more than 10 lbs heavier come fight night.

    That would be crazy. He was like 149 against Aydin, another midget welter. Then came in quite a bit heavier for Berto. Same with Bradley, 10lbs heavier for Prov than Pac.

    149 vs Aydin really? He was 159 30 days from May 4th. Hes looking pretty filled out at 147 now. I like how his team have brought him along. Id say hes gotta be at least 157 with Floyd being like 148/149 come fight night

    Nice photo, but he spent a better part of 4 years doing everything possible to avoid getting in the ring with Mayweather, so we will never know.

    Floyd vs Hoya: I'm willing to die in the ring, no need for testing!
    Floyd vs Hatton: I'm willing to die in the ring, no need for testing!
    Floyd vs Marquez: I'm willing to die in the ring, no need for testing!
    Floyd vs Pac: My health come first, I want testing :lol::patsch.

    I think some of you guys are slow, the debate over Pac and May. This fighter avoiding that fighter. How long have you guys been fight fans, have you watched long enough to see how Bob Arum operates. In order for De La Hoya and Mayweather to get the tough fights they had to leave Bob Arum. He's on film I don't quite remember which show it was talking about how he told De La Hoya not to fight Trinadad. How He (Bob Arum) did not want to make the fight because he thought Trinadad would win. Floyd left because of the same reason, Floyd was said to be ducking Corrales. Another fight that Bob Arum did not want to make because he thought that Mayweather would lose, he was wrong. De La Hoya got the name Chicken De La Hoya because of Bob Arum, and shortly after left Bob to go on and fight many great match ups. Floyd also left Bob for the same reason, to keep it simple Bob Arum has protected fighters, Alvarez was before this weekend. Like Donaire was last weekend, Bob Tried everything to keep the fight from coming off.

    Manny Pac 50% chance
    Bradley 35% Chance
    Amir Khan 20% Chance
    Alvarez with a 165 rehydration Clause - 80% Chance
    Trout - 50% Chance

    There the best shots IMO - Not bad for a 36 y/o

    The fact is neither of us know who really is to blame on Floyd/Pac hence the divide.

    But this is what I know:
    Manny has lost 4 times, he's been in many/many fights where experts were split on the outcome. Marquez/Morales/Barrera/Lebwada/Cotto/Hatton/Hoya and more where there was huge risk of losing.
    I don't buy into it, that Manny suddenly cared about risking a loss against floyd.

    Floyd on the other hand - for a Fight where people though he could lose. You have to go back along time for that.

    And that is the bottom line IMO and why i'm more than certain that floyd know that the Pac fight was a 50/50 fight, and didnt want to risk his career on those odds. Its not Fear. But it is fear of Losing that 0 and his marketability.

    Same thing happened/is happening with Alvarez. Its the biggest Money fight out there, but it won't happen cos floyd needs to keep that 0.
