Guerrero: I’m not one of Mayweather’s hand-picked opponents

Robert Guerrero(Photo credit: Esther Lin) By Dan Ambrose: For Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KO’s) he feels that it’s important that boxing fans know that he’s not just one of the safe fights for Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26 KO’s) that has been selected to keep him undefeated. Guerrero believes in his mind that he’s been picked out for his talent, and not because he’s considered a slapper without power at 147.

Guerrero said on Tuesday: “For one, I’m not one of Mayweather’s hand-picked opponents. We’re not making an attempt. We’re going to come out victorious on Saturday night. We Latinos have pressure all the time. We have pressure when we fight all the time. We’re going to come out and take care of business. All you’re going to hear is ‘May Day, May Day, Guerrero’s in the ring.’ That’s it.”

Guerrero: Mayweather should get ready for the rematch right now

Robert Guerrero(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Dan Ambrose: Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KO’s) has himself in a trance-like state where he can’t even begin to entertain the thought of him getting beaten and clowned by Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26 KO’s) this Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Guerrero sees the win as a sure thing and not only that. He sees Mayweather giving him a nice payday rematch after he loses. It sounds like a pipedream on Guerrero’s part, but if it makes him feel better before he faces his beating on May 4th then so much the better.

Another Cart Horse against a thoroughbred is a race that will do nothing to enhance the reputation of boxing

Floyd Mayweather(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Rob Blakeman: This morning I dipped into my archive of Boxing on Blu-ray and watched the 2001 match between Diego Corrales and Floyd Mayweather. The fight took place at 130lbs and Floyd’s record was already impressive-24 wins, no defeats and 16 knockouts. Corrales though held an even better one being 33 and 0 with 27 K.O.’s.

This was a much anticipated fight that was being compared by many top analysts to potentially be as exciting as the battles between Leonard and Hearns! However, such was the ring generalship of the young Mayweather, in a display that belied his youth he clinically out boxed, dismantled and ultimately destroyed the previously unbeaten and bigger Corrales, (He outweighed Mayweather by 16lbs on fight night!) knocking him down 3 times in one round.

Mayweather Jr. vs. Guerrero: Will you watch Floyd fight again after he loses his unbeaten record?

Floyd Mayweather(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Gerardo Granados: The WBA Super World light middleweight and WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26 KO’s) currently is the best defensive fighter of all, he is also an outstanding counter puncher but it is his personality that sets him apart from the rest of current boxing stars.

Sometimes he speaks up his mind without thinking of the consequences and there are many boxing fans who watch him fight hoping he will lose his precious unbeaten record instead of supporting him wishing he will keep on winning forever.

Floyd will have his first bout out of a millionaire six fight deal with Showtime.

Guerrero doesn’t have the speed to adapt to Mayweather

Robert and RubenBy Dan Ambrose: Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KO’s) has been repeatedly saying that he’ll adapt to whatever Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26 KO’s) brings to the ring this Saturday night in their Showtime PPV bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Guerrero is convinced that he can adapt to anything and everything that the 36-year-old Mayweather does on Saturday to neutralize whatever strategy that he tries. I would agree with Guerrero that he could possibly accomplish this, but the problem he has in this fight involves a mismatch in hand speed, a big mismatch.

Mayweather: I offered Pacquiao $40 million for a fight before his loss to Marquez

pac8By Chris Williams: In an interview last night with ESPN, Floyd Mayweather Jr. says he gave Manny Pacquiao a huge $40 million offer to fight him before Pacquiao’s crushing 6th round knockout loss to Juan Manuel Marquez last December, but the Filipino turned down the offer by asking for a 50-50 deal instead. The $40 million that Pacquiao rejected would have easily been the biggest payday of his career, and yet he failed to take Mayweather up on the offer.

Mayweather said to ESPN: “I called Pacquiao and offered him $40 million dollars and this came before the Marquez fight. I told him I would have his $20 million without 48 hours. He told me he wanted 50-50 and got off the phone. I’m not scared of no fighter, but where was the guy when I was dominating the sport in 98, 99 and 96?

Mayweather wants to fight in UK; Khan the obvious target

mayweather2256By Scott Gilfoid: Floyd Mayweather Jr’s adviser Leonard Ellerbe is saying that Mayweather Jr. plans on fighting in the UK at some point in the near future. He doesn’t say who Mayweather will be fighting but it seems pretty clear that Amir Khan will be the target for Mayweather because it would be pointless for him to fight Kell Brook or the other little known welterweights and light welterweights in the UK.

Khan is the only game in town for Mayweather, but he better make that fight quick because Khan could get knocked out in his next fight if he’s serious about wanting to fight for a world title.

Mayweather vs. Guerrero fight still not sold out for MGM Grand

Floyd MayweatherBy Allan Fox: For some reason boxing fans haven’t scooped up the tickets for this Saturday’s fight between WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26 KO’s) and Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KO’s) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The fight still isn’t sold out for the 16,800 seat MGM Grand, and that makes you wonder if Mayweather is losing his ticket selling magic. It obviously doesn’t help Mayweather one bit that he selected an opponent in Guerrero who doesn’t have a big fan base.
