    yeah I do think he'll get the crap beat out of him now. I think Floyd may look a little vulnerable though

    That's the thing. He didn't take may shots to the body, if any at all, in the Aydin fight before he gassed bad and started eating rights.

    Guerrero like Gatti is bringing out Floyd's cruelty for whatever reason

    Aydin popped Guerrero consistently with a right downstairs

    This fight is going to look like Mayweather-Judah, but Guerrero won't have some success early on like Zab did

    Yeah I remember Guerrero saying something along those lines when talking about the Ortiz fight.

    I think he will. He'll follow up with more combinations as well rather than singles shots and 1, 2s as Zab threw

    It was basically how Pacturds talked themselves into believing Manny was going to beat Floyd.

    Funny how the 4 closest fights he was in all came from orthodox fighters. He usually just switches to an ear muff defense and it's game over from there when fighting a leftie.

    The best southpaw he fought was Zab? Who is only good for 4 rds. Oscar and Cotto are leagues above him. Maybe not as athletic or talented but much more disciplined, effective, durable and accomplished. There is no argument against the fact that Floyd gets hit more often and with the cleanest punches when he is facing a southpaw. Guerrero has many attributes that several of Floyds recent southpaw opponents didnt possess.

    Exactly and Zab only won 2 rounds. The difference is Zab can actually box behind a right jab. Guerrero just needs to stay on him. He can take Floyd's power and just outwork him

    I don't put much stock into Guerrero being a southpaw, at all.

    All those rounds Zab won were very competitive. Floyd was breaking down that body early

    Guerrero being southpaw changes the dynamics of this fight. Floyd will be more aggressive, leaves more holes in his defense vs them and Guerrero can do pretty much everything Zab can minus the handspeed. Plus id say hes tougher mentally and more durable over 12 rds.

    no way

    Zab isn't cited as the most famous case of wasted talent in recent times for no reason

    His speed, power and athleticism were his main advantages.
