    Guzman would beat Pac, JMM and Juan Diaz though.

    I know, so would Mijares.

    You've admitted your bias gets in the way when you pick Guzman over Pac before. I take Pac in that matchup, and definitely Diaz at LW. I'll have to see how JMM does with Pac to decide on that one yet. JMM beat John in my opinion, and there's a guy who would use the movement that someone like Guzman would use.

    No, Mijares just beats the guys around his weight level, almost all of them. He's the best 115 pounder I've ever seen on film, way better than even a fantastic prime Martin Castillo.

    My bias doesn't get in the way when I pick fights for personal betting though, if I thought Pac would beat Guzman, I'd take Pac, because income is there to be made.

    Pac is at the worst stylistic disadvantage against Guzman because Guzman can control the footwork and counterpunch him from the ropes and the middle of the ring at any point because Pac's one dimensional and at 130 likely can't even stun Guzman(who's never even blinked at a punch in the past). So save for a robbery, I have Guzman 8-4 as my pick.

    JMM is going to beat Pac also. Please do not even compare the movement and poor combination/counter punching/timing of John to a defensive wizard like Guzman. The speed is also in different stratosphere's, if you think that fighting John even prepares you for Guzman, then keep studying film.

    Diaz is troubled by good movement, but Guzman would have to fight a brilliant gameplan and it's still going to be close in the end, which may go to Diaz just for him being a bigger promotional item.

    There aren't many I can say that I really wanted to see KTFO - perhaps Amir Khan (recently) and Naz were the two I hated most, whilst ones I really liked other than Hatton and Calzaghe are Shane Mosley and Evander Holyfield
