    Marquez was the easiest.

    Guerrero will give a spirited effort, but he's getting outclassed in this one. Keep talking yourselves into believing Rob has a shot. He doesn't.

    Since moving up from 140? Baldomir was a little easier. He was not "Pretty Risky". :yep

    Ghost is going to be a tough fight, guys who don't watch fights, will probably discount Robert because someone hasn't told them they should "like" him. The reality is that Ghost is relentless, he's got a grade A chin, is versitile, and probably most important he's as hungry as any fighter in the game. He is absolutely determined to see this through to the end, he's had his eyes on this fight for years.

    **Side note, Roberts power is very underrated, he's hurt and dropped damn near everyone he's fought. No he's not a single shot KO guy, but he's got plenty of pop in his punches.

    Guerrero weighed 152 in the ring against Berto...That is more than Floyd has weighed on fight night at any point in his career. Guerrero will be bigger on fight night. I guarantee it.

    My only point of disagreement is that I don't think Mitchell, at that point, presented as much threat to Floyd as Baldomir did, both during the fight and actually in the ring.

    Baldomir was coming in on career best form, and there was a school of thought that he was strong enough and tough enough to swarm Mayweather and make make things a bit uncomfortable for him. Sharmba was more skilled than Tata, of course, but was still considered to be damaged goods following the evisceration of KT as well as fighting above his best weight without a hell of a lot of power. It was a decent tune-up for Judah...though Floyd did well to stop him, it should be noted.

    Plus I think Baldomir actually did a reasonable job of trying to implement his game plan, which made Floyd's shut-out of him that much more impressive, imo.

    I do think Guerrero's versatility and ability to utilize different styles effectively makes him a fairly difficult challenge, though. Certainly a much more difficult challenge, on the surface, than those presented by Ortiz and Mosley, to a lesser extant.

    NO just stop please. Also what is your definition of "tough"? He has a grade A chin against C Grade competition though. Cotto was relentless and won barely 2 rounds. The Ghost is not in Cottos league in anyway so being relentless tells me nothing about how successful he will be.

    His power you speak of is only against C grade fighters, NOT against World Class fighters....give me a break:-(

    Guerrero >>>>>>> Ortiz all day, every day.

    Size is not everything. Give me a technically sound, intelligent boxer who can follow a gameplan...over a fast starting boxer who thinks he is a tree with size, good power, but very limited intelligence. :deal

    Also - Aydin and Berto >>>>>>> Berto.

    how are you measuring his intelligence when he has never fought an elite fighter? You cant say a kid who is great at basic math will pass a Geo-Trig test.:lol:

    the Cotto that Mayweather fought is better than anyone on Guerreros entire resume...true story
