Mayweather vs Robert Guerrero May 4th [confirmed]
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
KO ratio, over an entire career, means little. Floyd has ONE real KO since 2005, thats 8 years. Ricky Hatton. We all know the Ortiz KO was a sucker punch (that Ortiz deserved 100%) and isn't a testament to Floyd's power.
Bernard Hopkins at middleweight had great power but he hasn't KOd anyone in 9 years! So what matters is recent fights, not entire career, when talking about KO power.
Like I said neither Floyd nor Guerrero are big punchers. Maybe Floyd stops Guerrero because he's schooling his ass or his corner throws in the towel but its unlikely we'll see some kind of one.punch KO from either man as they just aren't heavy hitters like that.

Obviously he ate some punches but Berto swelled against Ortiz too. He hadn't been in a tough fight before Ortiz. Maybe he's a guy that swells easily and my guess is that he's a guy that rehydrates a lot of weight back on overnight which can make some guys swell a lot more. People are taking Berto's eyes in that fight as if it's a guarantee that Guerrero is some huge puncher at 147. He's a respectable puncher and had a good ko streak at 126lbs but that was quite awhile ago.
Weigh in pictures. God damn Floyd is in excellent shape

that was more obvious on the first than the 2nd knockdown with Berto holding on. Either way, I don't really care lol I was glad he won.
Nothing was worse than when Froch landed like 1800 power shots to the back of Dirrells head though. That was so blatant and ref never stopped it.

anyone else agree that everyone has a silly gameplan against Floyd? Obviously they've all lost but everyone goes in there like they need to knock him out. What they need to do is win freakin rounds!!! I always go back to this but a lot of people thought Margarito would beat him in his prime because of his volume and aggression. I think Robert could pull that off and win rounds but I keep thinking that he's thinking he can go in there and knock him out.
For the Guerrero fight, Mayweather struggled in training camp. This week, he sported slight swelling under both eyes. "He started late in camp – really late,'' a person familiar with the camp told USA TODAY Sport. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because he is unauthorized to speak on the fighter's behalf. "His sparring was brutal. He had a really tough camp."

I worry about a fighter getting two black eyes when you have head gear on and you a sparring with 12 oz gloves (pillows)...hopefully Floyd comes in 100%...this may be the reason he was going to the gym 3 times in one day. can 't wait to see who gets beat and how their egos will manage that realization when it comes...great entertainment. Guerrero is a good promoter of himself...I think on that note Mayweather chose the right fighter other than Canelo Alvarez.

Yeah he got hit but you gotta look at why. He was fighting in a style he wasn't used to. That left him open to punches. Then you gotta look at that style of defense and how a southpaw can take advantage of it.
And he was hitting after the bell, thumbing Berto, holding him and not fighting like a true champ.

I don't even know what that's supposed to mean - not fighting like a true champ. Weird thing to say. It's Berto's fault for not knowing how to deal with a physical fighter. He fought like the gatekeeper that he is.
True champs don't rough people up? Watch Jack Johnson, a young Hopkins, even Floyd has his tactics.

You know what the hell it means. It means getting in there and using your skills, not some underhanded tactics and blatant disregard for the rules to win a fight.
Look, you aren't going to get me to disagree that he isn't a gatekeeper. He is, but it wasn't just a matter of the guy not handling a physical fighter. If you're using a style you NEVER used before, and that style is basically WEAK against a southpaw/unorthodox stance, you're asking for trouble.
There is a difference between roughing someone up and fighting dirty. Get physical, get rough, but don't fight dirty. Don't lead with your fuckin head, don't try to thumb a guy in the eye, don't keep hitting below the belt and don't keep clocking him after the bell rings (over multiple rounds.)
You know the rules of the game man, you know when a fighter is going over and beyond what is called for.
