    I think Gurrerro is made to order for Floyd. I think Floyd at 35/36 is past his physical prime but he remains a well conditioned athlete with great boxing skills. Floyd to win decisively.

    Are you trying to argue that this is a good, competitive match up for Floyd?

    If he is campaigning at 147 who do you think he should fight?

    That's not relevant. I'm asking if this is a competitive match? Guerrero will lose handily. He's another undersized opponent looking for a payday. Not a genuine threat.

    Bradley would have been a better choice.

    How is it not relevant? If thats the weight class this fights in, then fighters from the division should be included / considered, no?

    I just asked you a simple question. You tell me its not relevant, then answer it?

    But Bradley is at Top Rank so its not realistic?

    This is a great fight.

    Guerrero is 29,
    fit as ****
    in his prime,
    throws lots of punches,
    a pressure fighter,
    we know he is good at the weight,
    He’s a southpaw

    Floyd is 36, hes been inactive for years and Is visibly on the slide…. He’s still great, but not as great as he was.

    Anyone hating on this fight DKSAB

    I don't think it's relevant to my point. Objectively speaking it's a poor fight. Guerrero will lose comfortably. But it's still worth answering and, regardless of Top Rank, it would be a more meaningful fight.

    We weren't discussing realistic either.
