    Hey guys

    I have been looking over the Ghost's career as a pro and ameteur. I have also been looking at his physical attributes & skill set. Now he is fighting at welterweight I have been looking forward to seeing him perform...I want to know if you believe he can be a dominate force in this division...


    Thanks again...Thoughts brothers

    He got his ass handed to him by Salido. He has never been that impressive to me. Very good hand speed and good skills but can't seem to keep that up for 12 rounds. I think he is mentally weak

    I think he;s very talented. He should of settled in a division and tried to dominate; if he'd done that then he may well be on the bottom rung of the P4P list right now.

    At WW, he'll do fine with the smaller guys, but blokes like Ortiz; are ones he really needs to avoid.

    I see ELITE talent, but needs to develop his jabs a bit more. He doesn't seem quite comfortable fighting backwards either...

    Much too early to be calling out Floyd.... he needs to prove himself, fight better opponents than katsidis.

    Robert Guerrero is THE MOST overrated fighter in the sport. Bar NONE.

    Honestly....... I mean HONESTLY....... he beat KATSIDIS! That's it!!!

    I guess Ricky Burns, and that Afrrican journeyman Kat just lost to should be considered elite talents also.

    To compete at the higher levels of the sport, you have to have tremendous talent.

    I think he is overrated, he feels he deserves more than he can get at the moment, had he beaten maidana if he didnt got injured that would put him up there to get a fight with lets say khan.
    He isnt on a p4p level at the moment, I hope to see him fight some good boxers soon to prove he is actually as good as people claim him to be.

    He's talented, but IMO too vulnerable to be a force at 147.

    He is athletic and skilled enough to have success at WW but he has no Chin and is not strong enough to Dominate there. He should stick to JWW or he is going to be Chinned in humiliating fashion.

    Yeah I was at that fight.. The Ghost was more than likely going down that night.. the Jury is still out on him.. his star is still rising but Salido did beat his ass...He needs to be matched right...

    now that he is at 147 he has a ton of options..

    We will soon see how long his star power will last.. He is still a lil overated..

    I believe he is elite at 126 and 130.

    At 135, 140, and 147 I think he progressively gets further and further below the elite level. I don't see him as a contender at 147, despite his skill.

    If he wins that wbc strap, expect to see him v Ortiz soon. Ortiz by KO

    He was also in for a rough night against Daud Yordan (who is indeed underrated) and seemed like he kinda quit in that fight.
