Fernando Guerrero: The next great middleweight?

Completely disagree. If they ever fight, Guerrero will win a clear UD over Pirog. He's just a better fighter. Jacobs is so basic. He uses the 1-2 and relies on his athleticsm to beat inferior guys. Guerrero not only has the raw talent but the heart, work rate, foot speed, willingness to learn and ability to fight inside to beat Pirog.

 

Yup, it comes down to opinion right now. Nothing more. When i see a fighter who not only has the raw talents but also has the right mentality and heart, i think he can go a long way. And i believe in Guerrero. A lot of guys have heart but not the talent. Some guys have talent but not the heart. Some have both but not he work ethic. Guerrero has it all IMO. And that matters.

 

After watching last night's fight, i'm convinced he can be a dominant force at 154. He weighed in at 157.5 so he should be able to make 154. Just everything about him screams A level fighter. First off, i love his footwork. He's always thinking defense first and almost always leaning on his backfoot to back away when his opponent attacks. But he's got a great offensive game. He can throw combos, good jab, good body shots, nice straight punches, fast hands. He's also great at turning guys. The only question with him like all young guys is his chin and power. I don't think he's got much pop though.

 

Like i asked you in that other thread, tell me what you DON'T like about him as a contender at 154 besides his lack of pop.
