    This is Guerreros moment. He has a lot of built up anger nd geniuine animosity towards Floyd, recently quoted as saying he is going to show Floyd how to treat women and also wanting to silence the haters and finally get his just-due. In this interview you can see Guerrero get visibly worked up as he talks about how the fans dont give respect or respond to a man who loves God and takes care of his family. The Ghost has the skillset, the youth, the desire and hunger, the right timing and a great team to pull off the upset.

    Prior to the Berto fight, Guerrero points out that Berto has never faced a lefty like him and that Ortiz is one-dimensional, has poor footwork, is very stiff and does the same thing over and over, not being able to change styles. I agree. Guerrero is very well polished and can do all the things someone like Ortiz cant.

    Then why couldn't Guerrero dominate Berto like Ortiz did?

    The Ghost must spend a lot of time ghosting around on boxing forums. It's clear that he relates to the sentiment expressed by many boxing fans.

    We'll see if acting like a good person helps him at all on fight night

    toughest fight is a relitive term. Guerrero is a very good young boxer. He's earned this fight but the pressure he used to beat Berto. Will play right into Mayweather's hands.

    Hes not going to pressure Floyd like he did Berto. He fought like that vs Berto because it worked. Floyd will be right in front Guerrero all night, at mid-range, trying to get past the jab and right hook of Guerrero. He'll have the same trouble as he did vs Judah early except The Ghost can close the gap and ambush Floyd, start turning him and back out again or stay inside if hes having more success. This wont look anything like Guerrero vs Berto

    Your update notes on the first page are **** Genaro. Unless you haven't been paying attention, Mayweather said in his interview this weekend that he'll do "whatever it takes" to win. You thinking he's gonna come out and try to take Guerrero's head off, or do stupid **** just to entertain, proves that you don't pay attention to boxers' careers as a whole.

    Just like you seem to think Guerrero has this deep well of energy, meanwhile he regularly gasses in his fights and while he gasses, his technique goes completely to ****. He tries to lean on the opponent to the point where he'll stop throwing punches to get in, he'll simply just fall into them. And many times, he's eaten shots coming in like that.

    You won't even acknowledge this fact. He gassed against Aydin, he gassed against Berto, he gassed against Salido, he even gassed against old ass Casamayor. You're completely neglecting all of these fights. You're looking through ****ing blinders man!

    Dont be silly. He laughed off Bertos uppercuts and was on his way to knocking Bertos ass out in the 12th.

    Salido outboxed Guerrero from the outside. You seriously need to do more research.

    You probably think Chavez Jr. was "laughing off" Martinez's shots. :patsch

    Nobody ends up looking like this, while "laughing off" shots. :-(

    I didn't say all that. I don't think it's going to be like that. But I think Guerrero will be tactically shut out. It might be rough at times, but Guerrero will be ineffective for very large spans of the fight. And he better hope he doesn't gas like he usually does.

    Floyd is a slow starter. Every fight it takes him at least 4 rds before he starts taking over. Cotto was able to show different looks, boxing, counterpunching and muscling Floyd to the ropes. Guerrero will do the same thing. There are a lot of characteristics Guerrero posseses that several of Floyds recent opponents did not possess. Guerrero being tactically shut out is unlikely i think. I think Floyd will have to fight through Guerreros tactics rather than outwit or outbox him. His reflexes and speed wont bail him out either. He'll likely outslug, outmuscle Guerreros with his accuracy and superior inside fighting and general toughness.

    At first I was in the camp that thought Guerrero had virtually no shot. But the more I think about it, the more I think Floyd will look his age.
