    Youre either trolling or you watched a different fight from me.

    He goes life and death often against opponents who are far from elite

    At the end of the day Genaro. Floyd could very well have a tough fight, but that will be mainly due to his physical skill deteriorating. Because stylistically, Robert brings absolutely no new wrinkle to the table.

    No man who not only lost but was dominated by Salido will give Floyd a tough fight

    I don't think so. Guerrero has skill and heart but everything he brings to the table Floyd does better and Floyd has seen it before. If Guerrero thinks he is going to push Floyd on the ropes like he did Berto then he won't see the final bell. He tends to square up and just throw shots while leaning. Floyd is the better inside fighter both offensively and defensively on the inside and Robert is going to find that our real quick. The only way I see him giving Floyd problems is if Floyd gets old over night and gets fatigued and not let his hands go. Floyd doesn't throw as many shots like the old days but you don't see too many guys thrown way more nor landing even close to what he lands. UD 9-3 Mayweather

    Cotto landed not one vicious body shot, the most vicious punch he landed was those 2 weak ass jabs in the middle of the ring, he ate chasing a running Cotto

    Guerrero is a good opponent to gauge how far Floyd has declined, if at all, since his last fight

    Now wait. Do you primarily think that because you feel Guerrero would be tough for Floyd in his prime, or do you primarily take that stance cause Mayweather is 36 years old?

    It's funny how people use Berto as a measuring stick. Did they not learn from the Ortiz fight (who also fought Berto and people got hyped based on that performance), Berto simply isn't that good, thus, the reason why others have beaten him and looked pretty good against him. This will be another easy night for Mayweather.

    The combination of Guerreros youth(physical prime), stance and skills definitely presents a new problem for Floyd. Maybe ur right and its because Floyd is slowing down. But Guerrero has done all the right things and has all the right tools to put up the type of performance that will make people finally respect him. Im sure it will be an action packed fight with Guerrero exceeding our expectations and making Floyd look like hes lost another step

    I agree, the Ghost will give Floyd his hardest fight since Hatton.
