Floyd Mayweather Jr

By Dan Ambrose: Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26 KO’s) may need to slap some sense into WBC interim welterweight champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KO’s) because he’s under the impression that he’s going to show the boxing world that he’s the #1 pound-for-pound fighter on May 4th in his fight against Mayweather on Showtime/CBS pay-per-view.

Guerrero said to Sky Sports “I want to be the best so you’ve got to fight the best, and I’m coming out to fight. I can’t wait to get in that ring and prove that I’m the best fighter pound for pound, and just make it happen.”

By Allan Fox: Floyd Mayweather Jr. sees himself cashing out with his latest six-fight contract with Showtime/CBS that he has 30 months to complete. Mayweather was the one that insisted on the fight contract being done quickly, possibly because he wants to look for another contract if he’s still unbeaten and fighting at a high level by the time he finishes the six fights.

Mayweather starts the contract with a fight against Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KO’s) on May 4th at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Mayweather’s next fight after that could be against IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander, who Mayweather mentioned recently as someone he wants to fight.

By Chris Williams: Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KO’s) is already a huge 12-1 underdog in some betting circles for his May 4th fight against WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Despite this, Guerrero isn’t bothered by being a big underdog since he sees the numbers narrowing as the fight gets closer and more is seen of him in training camp by the betting establishment.

Guerrero said to Bay Area radio station KNBR 680 They throw the odds out there and they start changing as the weeks go on. People start seeing what’s going on in the camps, how fighters are looking, how we’re training, how everything is going, then the odds start to change and they’re going to start changing here pretty soon.”

By Bill Mitchell: While it’s usually Floyd Mayweather (43-0, 26 KO’s) who hypes the fight, six time champion Robert Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KOs), wasted no time firing the first shot in his upcoming fight with Floyd Mayweather. Guerrero, in a phone interview with AP, began trash talking the champion by saying he observed slippage in Mayweather. That his legs are slowing down at 36 years of age and that he picks and chooses his opponents. Guerrero also suggested fans can earn a lot of money by wagering on him with the high odds being given in Las Vegas. Recently, Guerrero tweeted to Mayweather “hope u liked working corners I’m gonna make it permanent pretty boy! The fans want it 70 days left buddy”

Guerrero’s convinced Mayweather doesn’t realize what he’s getting into. That with Mayweather’s recent stint in jail and being out of the ring for a year, he’ll have too much ring rust to deal with Guererro’s aggressive style . Guerrero also said, and this is a quote “I was put in this position not only to humble the boxing world, but to humble Floyd Mayweather. I have a lot of faith that I’m going to go in there and dominate this fight.”

By Babatis Banda: Floyd Mayweather Jnr 43-0-26 the undisputed P4P king is fighting Guerrero on May 4. Guerrero is tipped to cause an upset based on his good record and the fact that he is young, unbeaten for the last 6 years and coming off a decent win over Andre Berto, a worthy top welter weight.

His rugged and sometimes rough fighting style is expected to cause problems for the aging 36 year old Mayweather Jnr. What seems to stir hope both for Guerrero and those itching for the 1st Mayweather dent is the last Mayweather versus Cotto fight.

In that fight, we saw Floyd bleed from a broken nose, courtesy of Cotto’s hard sharp jab. It is the bleeding that brought some excitement for those that dislike Mayweather but other than that, there is very little to talk about because Floyd really plastered Cotto and he had the cleaner landing hard shots that also busted Cotto’s nose and marked his face worse.

By Gerardo Granados: A friend of mine believes Floyd cannot take the punishment of not only fight six times in a row but to endure training for six fights, and that it could weakened him to the point that he would cautiously cherry pick his opponents. My friend believes that if he reached a deal for so many millions he will have to deliver but his body at 36 years of age may betray him.

There are some exceptions to the rule but we don’t get to see many Archie Moore´s or George Foreman´s boxing epics. Bernard Hopkins hasn´t officially retired yet but he has not fought for a long time. The Juan Manuel Marquez´s types of boxers are not common these days.
