On paper, easiest since Baldomir. In the ring, a harder fight than Oscar and JMM, and on the same level as Ortiz (Floyd dropped a deuce where he should have beaten Oscar even wider than he did).
If Ghost fights the way he did Vs Berto he gets stopped inside 7..Dont think this fight will be that hard will be harder than Jmm fight though.
Very true. Yeah I guess I don't even agree with anything that I said there... But I just really consider Oscar of that time as very semi-retired, with a win over Mayorga to end his losing streak, doesn't do much for me. Size, smarts, and punch resistance were the the tools which allowed Oscar to be successful. Ortiz on the other hand, in my opinion, probably had more power, better combinations, foot speed, and hand speed at WW than Oscar did at the time at JMW. So, I dunno, probably about even as opponents go, Oscar was insanely inactive and lost more than won in the couple fights heading into the Floyd showdown. I think it's a matter of Floyd not fighting up to his standards against Oscar that night. As far as Ortiz, he certainly won round 2 (I believe it was) but was getting pummeled while also gassing a bit, I think that fight would have ended soon without the dramatics at the end of round 4. OK, but yeah, you're right...... immediate regret of statement.
i think one difference between the Ghost and other of Floyds oppenents (excluding Cotto) is Guerrero believes he can win.
