He becomes Floyd's mandatory at 147... Should Mayweather take the fight? Will it be entertaining? And how does the fight play out? I personally think it would be an interesting fight. Especially if Guerrero looks good vs Aydin with the added on weight. I say the fight is competitive with Floyd winning on points, maybe a late stoppage. Fresh new face in Guerrero, great story, southpaw high volume puncher. Good fight in my eyes. What ya'll think :think
I wanted to c Guerrero against Vic and I personally felt Guerrero would beat vic in an entertaining fight, the surgery and the long time off, lets hope he is still sharp. Bte I also think Floyd n Vic have no prob making welter n jr middle.
Dont get to see two southpaws face eachother too often. Makes an interesting dynamic. I dont know if Guerrero can handle Ortiz size. But guerrero and mayweather are the same size. I guess im alone in wanting to see that match up. Guerrero really wants this fight.
If Golden boy have their way, yes. They want this fight, have been trying to generate interest for it since he beat Katsidis. Whether it happens will depend on Floyd and on whether he'll have better options, which he probably will (Ortiz rematch, Pacquiao, Canelo, Khan, Martinez) The point of fighting Aydin is to build a stronger case for it in order to justify it to the public, with a little help from the WBC. (How can a lightweight who's not fought in a year and who's not beaten anyone at 147, let alone 140, get chosen to fight for a vacant WBC WW belt ahead of other contenders? WBC is beyond the joke stage now..) I don't think the Mayweather fight will happen, Mayweather will be a fool for taking it over other fights, however I hope Aydin destroys Guerrero. Guerrero probably merits a payday with what happened to his wife, I'm just sick of set-up **** like this and all these gift titles being handed out. Might aswell watch WWE
Guerrero has a lot to prove. He has had a couple of very uninspiring performances. Although Aydin is very limited i will give him full credit if he can win impressively. Not easy jumping up two weight classes and taking on a stong man like Aydin.
I don't see how Guerrero can do well at this weight against big guys like Ortiz even Mayweathers bigger nowadays, Guerrero should go to light welter n try and unify there
No. Boxing is about who you have fought, beat, and your performances against said opposition. It sux for Robert that his wife had cancer, but that doesn't mean he has in any way, shape, or form earn a shot against Mayweather
You think Jose is going to enforce a mando? Are you on crack? Jose does what makes him money. Mayweather beating the tar out of Guerro doesn't make him anywhere nearly as much as a Khan fight or a Canelo fight.
I agree, merit was the wrong word to use. I wrote in my post that I don't think he deserves this fight. Maybe I should've said he deserves some luck in his career, given what happened to his wife, in a big payday. But yeah, to justify it he has to earn it, getting gifted this opportunity solely because Schaefer can pull strings with Sulaiman at the WBC does not fall under that.
I think if Guerrero is impressive vs Aydin, he generates more money vs Floyd than Khan. Guerrero is bilingual, the latino communities will back him. I can assure you that. Even without the story. With the story even casual fans will love him. Being southpaw and high volume puncher creates more promotional value, and being Floyds mandatory and new wbc, young(er) hungry lion fighting for his wide and the people. So east to sell it sells itself. He cant beat Canelo #s but Khan? Easy. Khan will only pack the gate but ppv, he doesnt do as well as a mexican american.
