    I was having a debate with some people as to how Floyd will look against Guerrero in comparison to Cotto last May. Though Floyd dominated most of the fight, he did have trouble with Cotto. But was it all Cotto or was it also Floyd not being the Floyd of old? I'm of the opinion that he may struggle and Guerrero will get shots in, but Floyd will still some what dominate.

    Does anyone think he will have a tougher time against Guerrero?

    No. Cotto's style is more of a problem for Floyd than Guerrero's. Guerrero is also much slower.

    The Ghost will give it his all, but receive a beating for his trouble.

    I think this fight will be more onesided, but Floyd himself will still show his age some in the fight

    If he doesn't then we will really know where Floyd is at.

    Cotto is a higher caliber than Guerrero, which is why we were more impressed with Floyd fighting and beating him and even getting in a bit of a fight with him. Guerrero is still overmatched compared to Floyd.

    the cotto that was shot then came back to prime would beat guerrero and berto on the same night.

    this floyd-guerrero fight is a circus. i feel bad for a lot of them hard working messicans that are getting suckered into buying this fight.

    It will be the Cotto fight turned upside down. Cotto was happy not to throw a punch for 6 rounds and walk straight into Mayweather's jab. By the time he grew a pair of balls and started fighting the fight was over.

    Guerrero will start strong and be competitive in the first half, and then frustration and lack of ability will show through in the later rounds

    I think he will look brilliant. I thought Cotto did well in patches and I don't think Guererro will give Mayweather as much difficulty. We may see Guererro kiss canvas here.

    I think now that Floyd is back fighting at 147, it will make a world of difference. Even though he dominates he always looks a little sluggish fighting at 154.
