dunky ...

He was a different animal at bantam, now he's a poor mans mayweather... hopefuly he'll fight Diaz next, then we'll see how good he is.

 

I watched the Guzman fight on replay in the pub last week. He looks a good fighter, but certainly gets hit a fair bit.

Really Arthur has to be forcing his way into fighting people like Guzman...it is the only way to make the step up. If he doesn't get the fight after beating Foster (which he should surely do), then he's got real issues with Warren to deal with.

 

Dunk why don't you rate Guzman yet you rate Pacqiauo?

Pac Is badly overrated and took two attempts to beat a past his prime Morales and picked his fighters at the right time.

He's open to timing and counter punching. Marquez did that after the 3 knockdowns and won at least 9 or 10 of those rounds after the 1st.

 

IMO Max, it was Pac who ruined Morales. Remember back to their first meeting? Morales put on an excellent display outboxing Pac & then made the big mistake of showing his machismo in the last round & going toe-to-toe with pac. Mannny clubbed him, Morales was shaken to his boots & was lucky to survive the round.
I think that was the round that ruined Morales. He was never the same after that 12th round. manny Pacs power was so sensational back then, he had the punch to end careers.

As for Guzman? His record compred to Pacs is nothing, & remember pac is the younger man also. look at pacs record. wins & draws against the calibre of fighter Guzman has never faced in his career so far. And remember, Guzman is no spring chicken either, so if hes going to be superfighting, he better get his arse into gear!

Funny thing is though, I now think Pac is on the slide. not because of anything he has had to endure inside the ring, but because of his lifestyle outside of it. His last two displays have been awful by his standards, & his amazing power too seems to have deserted him. If it wasnt for a nasty clash of heads against Solis which concussed the mexican(IMO) & changed the fight, I think Pac would have lost that night.

So whoever gets Pac next, it wouldnt surprise me if they got a shock win, so take from that what you will!
