Guerrero himself has never expressed any issue with fighting Thurman. His dad recently said they would more than welcome e fight as long as they got a fair offer.
I picked Herrera over Garcia and Algieri over Provo, and I'm picking Guerrero over Thurman. You do not have to KO someone to win, I believe Guerrero would drag him into a dogfight smother his power and win on points. I have no bias I like Thurman but he is far from unbeatable and has been rocked badly but not gone down, but the fact that he gets caught cold a lot means he'll be vulnerable to a more accurate and skilled puncher who has power.
Yes, I wasn't posting on here for the Herrera/Garcia fight, I wanted to but I thought about the **** I would get and wasn't up for a war with Garcia fans. I also thought Molina would hurt Matthysse, but not win, I thought Matthysse would walk into something underestimating John's power and get caught. I won money on Gonzalez stopping Mares, but lost on Angulo, Lara but I came close.
i'd go for Guerrero in a fight with Thurman. he's got the better chin, more variety with his punches, southpaw, better inside fighter. and i think if it came down to it, a lot more heart than Thurman. it doesn't look like Robert is looking in that direction though. which is a shame because it would be a great fight.
he just went life and death with the 50th ranked welterweight in the world.. :rofl but yeah, you would pick him over the 2nd best around....ummm ok :-(
That 50th ranked WW has 21 KO's in 24 matches, you can't always go by the rankings to determine how good someone truly is. Once upon a time GGG was a nobody knocking out nobodies he would have been seen as a joke had he challenged for a title when no one had heard of him. Most guys KO nobodies until they step up, and then they are exposed or they rise to the occasion. I wouldn't call winning the majority of rounds as going life and death, Guerrero likes fighting that way.
he had 21 kos in 24 wins because everyone he fought had a record that looked like this 9-14-2 :rofl yeah lets talk about his record. :-(
What? Nevermind. Aside from their styles, pedigree and the whole southpaw/orthodox thing, I guess you're right.
