    Guerrero's only chance is to outwork Floyd. He doesn't have the boxing skill or power to trouble him at all.

    Probably will be the first Mayweather fight in a long time that I dont tune in for.... unless Canelo fights someone interesting on the undercard.

    Not gonna pay $70 for this.

    I will say though that I think people will be a lil shocked at some of the success Ghost has, hes exactly the kind of opponent that will beat you if you dont come 100%, and I think its hard for Mayweather to fight up to his potential with the amount of time out of the ring he spends, and with him obviously slowing down and becoming stationary.

    Im just not interested in the matchup though.... not for $70. If it was regular HBO then ya.

    Here in Holland i usually have to stay awake quite late to watch the big fights but honestly i do not remotely see the point to lose any minute of sleep over this one.

    Cotto one was worth it but this one? totally pointless.

    You know someone is good when people don't want to see him fight a P4P ranked fighter in his weight division.:good

    I'm still confused as to why Floyd receives any criticism whatsoever for fighting Ghost. His only options are Ghost/Canelo.

    Tim Bradley is bad and is TR... can't happen by default. Pac is sleeping and the outside arena still isn't completed. JMM 2 would be a mismatch. Sexy's fighting in April so he's out. The only two left are Canelo and Ghost...

    Oh and I will absolutely be ordering this fight. Floyd's one the best of this era and he's got 3 (tops) fights left. He continues to fight guys coming off career wins and are riding an upswing in momentum.

    FOTY or not, Ghost is about as legitimate an opponent as there exists at this point in time.

    i think peeps thinks kid cinnamon would make a better contst of it...
    here s the list from my perspective of available entrees for floyd.


    1. canelo (inexperienced, undeserving but the kid has size & a punch)
    2. JMM (even tho it would prolly be boring as hell..but he did ko manny SO...)
    3. ghost (i hope robert suprises but i doubt he wins a round)

    Agree with both. Of course I'd prefer the Canelo fight but Floyd's fighting in May and September. The obvious thought here is that it's going to be Ghost in May and Canelo in September. And I'm very okay with this

    Exactly.
    Fight would be at 147 I believe. Not interested :bart
    Ghost has had an unprivileged life and would get some good $, but it's just an incredibly bad match up.

    *You're from Holland? I'd pegged you for a local (CA) with the amount of leveled knowledge you have of US fighters .. no offense to the Dutch :blurp
