Guerrero: Floyd is a little guy; I’m going to be bigger than him on May 4th
March 7th, 2013 | Post Comment
Mayweather Guerrero Mayweather vs. Guerrero robert guerrero floyd mayweather jr By Dan Ambrose: Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KO’s) says he was surprised at how much smaller Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26 KO’s) when the two came together for a face off on Showtime to promote their upcoming May 4th fight on Showtime/CBS pay-per-view. Guerrero looked to be both taller and heavier than Mayweather.
Guerrero said to RingTV “He’s a little guy…he’s not that big…during are face-off, I could see that I was just physically bigger than Floyd. I’m definitely going to be the bigger guy in the ring.”
Technically both guys are the same height, but Guerrero must be a little taller than 5’8” because that’s the listed height of Mayweather. Guerrero says he’s walking around at 156 pounds right now, which means that in a couple of months when they face each other in the ring, Guerrero will be near that weight.
That’s not a lot of weight if you’re talking about something that will give Guerrero any kind of an advantage. Mayweather is likely to be close to that weight if not more on May 4th.
What Guerrero doesn’t understand is that Mayweather has the type of body that seems small, but he’s really not. I wouldn’t be surprised if his weight was the same as Guerrero’s in their face off.
It’s just that Mayweather is more muscular, so it doesn’t take up as much space as the fat that Guerrero has on his frame. That’s why Guerrero may seem bigger but in fact he’s around the same weight as Mayweather.
Guerrero shouldn’t kid himself about thinking he’s going to have any kind of an advantage by being a couple of pounds heavier than Mayweather. This isn’t wrestling. This is boxing and if Guerrero doesn’t have the speed or the skills, which he clearly doesn’t possess, then he’s going to get schooled by Mayweather.
Fighters that make a big deal out of being slightly bigger than their opponents sometimes feel that this will lead them to victory. However, that rarely happens. It’s usually the more talented fighter that wins rather than the heavier or taller guys.
Even if you’ve got a fighter that is 15 to 20 pounds heavier than his opponent, he’s not going to win if he’s facing a fast guy that is better than him in the talent department.
Guerrero isn’t in the same league as Mayweather, and if he wants to get an advantage over him then he’s going to have to come in a lot heavier than 156 pounds on May 4th. Maybe if Guerrero weighs 170 to 175, he might win, but there’s no way he’s going to be able to drain down from that kind of weight to make 147.

Broner vs. Malignaggi looking like a real possibility for June
March 7th, 2013 | Post Comment
Broner Malignaggi Broner vs. Malignaggi paulie malignaggi adrien broner By Scott Gilfoid: WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns really blew his big chance to land a unification fight against WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner (26-0, 22 KO’s) when he had the opportunity to get that fight, because it’s now looking more and more like Broner will be facing WBA World welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi (32-4, 7 KO’s) on June 22nd.
According to Fighthype, HBO wants the Broner vs. Malignaggi fight after having lost Floyd Mayweather Jr. to Showtime/CBS, and they need Broner at welterweight, not lightweight for him to get the big numbers that Mayweather was getting.
Basically, Broner is being put on an elevator to the top and the fight against Malignaggi is the button Broner will be pushing to get there. Broner will be moving up two divisions to take that fight, but it’s not as quite as tough as it would be if his first fight at welterweight were against someone like Tim Bradley, Manny Pacquiao or Devon Alexander.
Those would be difficult match-ups for Broner given the big weight increase of his opponents. Broner is going to be going from facing guys at in the mid-130s to fighting guys at 147, and some of them will be fighting in the 160s by the time he enters the ring against them.
Malignaggi isn’t one of those types of fighters that rehydrates way up in weight, but he’s still bigger than the guys that Broner’s been facing thus far in his career.
Malignaggi might not be a popular enough fighter to bring the Midas tough to Broner’s career the way that Oscar De La Hoya brought to both Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao’s career after he fought them. But Malignaggi is well known enough to give Broner a significant bump up in popularity after he faces and hopefully beats him for his sake.
Malignaggi is a good starting point for Broner at 147. From there, Broner will need a popular crossover fighter like Victor Ortiz to get him closer to the pay-per-view star status that Mayweather enjoyed with HBO.
It’ll be interesting to see if the Broner-Malignaggi fight can be made and if it’ll wind up as a PPV fight. I can see HBO choosing to make it PPV and putting together a four-part Broner/Malignaggi 24/7 to go along with it to get boxing fans interested.

Canelo: I know how to fight Trout
March 7th, 2013 | Post Comment
Alvarez Trout Alvarez vs. Trout saul alvarez austin trout By Dan Ambrose: WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) says he’s done his research on WBA junior middleweight champion Austin Trout (26-0, 14 KO’s) by watching his fights, and he figures he knows enough to beat him when they face each other on April 20th at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
Canelo said to RingTV “He [Trout] knows to hold you. He’s a southpaw and he has a lot of tricks. But I’ve been working on those things…I’ve been ringside and seen him fight a few times, in person, so I know how to fight him.”
That sounds good that the 22-year-old figures he knows enough to beat the 27-year-old Trout, but like a lot of young fighter they don’t realize how much they don’t know until they’re put in the position where they’re forced to come to terms wither their lack of knowledge/skills.
Could we be on the verge of seeing Canelo experience that against Trout on April 20th? I think it’s a very good possibility. Whether you like him or not, Trout is simply the better athlete than Canelo. He’s taller, faster, and slicker, moves better, has the better stamina and defends better. The only things Canelo has going for him in this fight is his power and inside game.
Don’t get me wrong, those are great qualities to have going for you, but those are the wrong tools for this kind of fighter. It’s like someone needing to change the oil in their car, so they bring out a sledge hammer and chisel instead of a simple wrench, pan and new oil filter.
Canelo’s skills are great for certain types of opponents, the kind that just stand in front of him for 12 rounds, but against Trout his skills aren’t the right ones for the job.
I can only imagine what Canelo is going to try and do in order to nullify the things Trout will be doing in the ring on April 20th. Canelo will likely try and cut the ring off on Trout to force to fight. That’s probably not going to work because Canelo moves like he has two left feet when he’s forced to use his legs to do any kind of quick movement.
Canelo will probably throw left hooks, but that’ll be useless as well because it will require that Trout stand close enough for him to land his shots. Trout won’t be standing there like Canelo’s past poor opponents picked out for him by Golden Boy Promotions. So the left hook idea is a nonstarter for Canelo if that’s his plan for victory.
Canelo will likely continue to punch Trout when he grabs him in a clinch. I think that’s a given, but again the power that Canelo gets on his shots while being held will be minimal, and he won’t get the attention from the judges from those kinds of shots the way that Trout will by landing clean left hands and right hooks from the outside.

Keith Thurman: I want Bradley, Malignaggi, Alexander or Brook next after Zaveck

Thurman Zaveck Thurman vs. Zaveck paulie malignaggi kell brook keith thurman jan zaveck devon alexander By Scott Gilfoid: Undefeated #4 WBA welterweight contender Keith “One Time” Thurman (19-0, 18 KO’s) says he’s gunning for WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley, WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi or the winner of the IBF clash between 147 lb. champion Devon Alexander and Kell Brook, if Thurman can get past former IBF welterweight champion Jan Zaveck (32-2, 18 KO’s) this Saturday night in their WBO welterweight eliminator bout at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Thurman said to RingTV “I look forward to a fight against Tim Bradley…Paulie Malignaggi, the winner of Devon Alexander-Brook. So if Devon Alexander loses to Kell Brook, I would love to fight Kell Brook.”
I really like Thurman to win all of those fights. He’ll sweep out the whole bunch of them once he can get them to agree to fight him. Brook would be easy because he doesn’t have the size or the stamina to stand in there with a big guy like the 5’11” Thurman.
Thurman is going to have to pick whoevers available to him after he beats Jan Zaveck on Saturday night because getting Bradley in the ring won’t be easy. Thurman may grow old waiting for that fight to happen. He needs a contingency plan, like Malignaggi or the winner of the Alexander-Brook fight. Again, I just don’t see any of those guys willingly agreeing to fight a huge talent like Thurman. That would be like signing up for a knockout loss. Thurman definitely beats all four of them no problems.
Zaveck, 5’7”, doesn’t have the size to compete with Thurman, and this should be pretty easy. Thurman figures that if former IBF/WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto was able to land at will with his 5th round stoppage win over Zaveck in September 2011, then he’ll have no problems landing his own big shots and taking him out.

Detroit News Writer Accuses Floyd Mayweather Jr. Of Harassing A Boxer’s Wife, But Leonard Ellerbe Calls It Trash Talk
Started by dgil christ,
Terry Foster, a columnist for the Detroit News, painted a disgusting portrait of Floyd Mayweather Jr., alleging the pound-for-pound king harassed the wife of another boxer and made sexually suggestive actions toward her.
Leonard Ellerbe, the CEO of Mayweather Promotions, said Mayweather and Shawana Bundrage were trash talking about the fight and that nothing untoward or unsavory occurred.
The men were at the same show on Feb. 23 in Detroit, which featured Cornelius "K9" Bundrage defending his IBF super welterweight title against Ishe Smith, but left with dramatically different impressions of the event that unfolded during the Showtime-televised fight between Mayweather and Bundrage's wife, Shawana.
Foster referred to Mayweather's actions as "despicable" and said Mayweather gyrated his hips in her face. Later in his column, he characterized Mayweather's actions as bullying.
Shawana Bundrage did not deserve to have a man gyrate his hips around her face while watching husband Cornelius Bundrage fight in the ring last week at the Masonic Temple. She did not deserve a grown man getting in her face and screaming while minding her own business. She also did not deserve the laughter that surrounded this despicable act that was captured by our photographer, Clarence Tabb Jr.
But that's exactly what happened.
The culprit was champion boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., who was in town to promote the fight and his fighter, Ishe Smith, who took Bundrage's light-middleweight title belt during the bout. Here is the funny part about it: Mayweather wore a hat that said "Money. Power. Respect."
Mayweather showed he had the money and power. He certainly did not show respect, although I am sure he wants everybody to respect him.
Later, Foster, who like Mayweather is African-American, suggested Mayweather's actions were typical of the way black men treat black women.
We, too, often talk about how much we love our black queens and that they are the greatest women on Earth. But then we demean them in rap songs and, in this case, in public. Mayweather treated Shawana Bundrage poorly. He showed no respect for her or her husband.
Bundrage and Mayweather (Clarence Tabb Jr./The Detroit News)Mayweather couldn't be reached for comment. But Ellerbe, who was promoting the Bundrage-Smith show, vigorously defended Mayweather. He said if Mayweather's actions were so bad and out of line, Bundrage should sue him.
"We would defend this one, believe me," Ellerbe told Yahoo! Sports.
Ellerbe pointed out that Shawana Bundrage serves as her husband's boxing manager and that the incident dated back to an early news conference to announce the fight (which Mayweather didn't attend). Ellerbe said Shawana Bundrage told Smith that her husband would beat him and then go on to fight and beat Mayweather.
It was Ellerbe's opinion that everything was simply trash talk and part of the fight game.
"I was there and this is straight [expletive]," Ellerbe said. "I know what was said. I heard and saw what was going on. She said her fighter -- and that's the context we were dealing with her, as K9's manager, not his wife -- she said her fighter was going to whip Floyd's fighter and then was going to whip Floyd's ass. ... I heard the back and forth going on, and I was part of it. This is completely irrelevant and stupid, believe me.
"Floyd said nothing harassing to her and he did nothing to harass her. He was trash talking her, but she was trash talking him. This was written by a hometown reporter who I guess was upset that the hometown boy [Bundrage] lost. There is no truth, none, in any of what he says. None of this was personal, and what that reporter didn't write was that after it was all over, we all shook hands and [embraced] and left with no hard feelings."
Shawana Bundrage did not comment on the incident, telling Foster via email, "I do not want to make any comments to glorify his actions."

Canelo wants Mayweather, Maravilla or Cotto in September, says trainer
March 10th, 2013 | Post Comment
Alvarez Trout Alvarez vs. Trout sergio martinez miguel cotto floyd mayweather jr austin trout By Dan Ambrose: WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez’s trainer Cheapo Reynoso says they’re still targeting Floyd Mayweather Jr. for September 14th despite Mayweather choosing not to face Canelo on May 4th.
Canelo will have to beat WBA junior middleweight champion Austin Trout (26-0, 14 KO’s) next month on April 20th, of course, for Canelo to move forward for a bout against Mayweather. If Canelo can’t get Mayweather, then he wants to face former WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto or WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez.
Reynoso said to the record.com.mx “We have to fight the best, and Mayweather is the best, so it is not ruled out. He and Saul have commitments, but after these fights they can resume negotiations. Maravilla and Cotto are names that are still there for September…we want to face either.”
First off, the chances of Canelo defeating Trout next month aren’t very good. Canelo is more of a bigger version of Cotto, and with the same flaws and limitations. Trout does well against those types of fighters. I can’t see Canelo winning that fight, and the more than likely he’ll suffer his first loss of his career.
As for what happens for Canelo after the Trout fight, you can pretty much forget Maravilla facing Canelo in September. I’m surprised Reynoso is even mentioning his name because he must realize that Sergio will be looking to face former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in November.
It looks like Reynoso is just name dropping to get attention for Canelo. The only logical choice that Canelo has for September is Cotto because Canelo can’t fight Maravilla, and even if he could, I don’t see it happening because Maravilla fights for HBO and Canelo for Showtime.
Mayweather isn’t going to agree to fight Canelo, at least not in September. If Mayweather is going to fight Canelo at all it’ll be in his last fight of his six-fight contract with Showtime/CBS.
Instead of thinking about who Canelo fights in September, Reynoso should be worried about what’s going to happen to him against Trout. This potentially has the makings of a real clowning for Canelo. He could end up getting really embarrassed by Trout. Who cares what Canelo will be doing in September if he gets clowned by Trout? If Canelo can’t beat Trout, then few fans will care about Canelo’s September fight.

Khan: 100%, we all know I’m cleaning up the 140 lb. division before moving up to 147
March 10th, 2013 | Post Comment
Khan Diaz Khan vs. Diaz julio diaz amir khan By Scott Gilfoid: Former IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (27-3, 19 KO’s) is still convinced that he’ll be cleaning up the light welterweight division and then moving up in weight to 147 to go after Floyd Mayweather Jr. and all of the straps up there. However, Khan’s lack of success recently suggests otherwise.
Khan said on his social media site, “100% we all know I’ll clean up the division before I move up to 147.”
The plan that Khan’s promoter Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions has for Khan is for him to face eventual winner of a pair of bouts between Danny Garcia vs. Zab Judah and Lucas Matthysse vs. Lamont Peterson.
Schaefer wants the Garcia-Judah winner to face the Matthysse-Peterson winner, and then winner of that fight faces Khan.
That sounds like a four fighter tournament to be with Khan being at the end with two nothing fights against Carlos Molina and Julio Diaz to get him to that position. In other words, Khan only has to fight one dangerous fight instead of two when he eventually does face the winner from the four fighter tourney.
It’s pretty smart of Schaefer to come up with that one, eh? He reduces the risk of Khan getting stretched out twice, and narrows it down to just one risky fight. Presumably, if Khan wins that one fight he can crow about how he’s cleaned out the 140 lb. division and then immediately move up to 147 to start calling out Mayweather for a mega fight.
I don’t know why Schaefer doesn’t want Khan to fight the Garcia vs. Judah winner and then after that the Matthysse vs. Peterson winner. I like that idea much, much better. Of course, it’s twice the risk for Khan’s fragile chin, so I guess I’ve answered by own question.
Schaefer can keep Khan sitting on the sidelines while the top four 140 lb. fighters blast away at each other in a set of bouts, and then Khan gets to fight the eventual winner like he’s the top seed fighter rather than a guy that has lost two out of his last three fights and is about to face another 2nd tier fighter.
If I’m Matthyse, Peterson, Judah or Garcia, I’m not liking the idea that Khan gets to sit on the sidelines while I’m the one taking all the risks. I’d be asking for Khan straightaway instead of having to fight another guy to get to him. Why is Khan the one that is at the end of the line when he’s the guy that’s lost two out of his last three fights? That’s just wrong.
Khan faces 2nd tier former IBF lightweight champion Julio Diaz (40-7-1, 29 KO’s) next month in an easy tune-up fight on April 27th at the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield, Yorkshire, United Kingdom. I guess if Khan wins that fight, Schaefer will have another easy fight for Khan to keep him busy while he waits for the smoke to clear from the four fighter tournament to get to him.

Thurman and Malignaggi trash talk at post-fight press conference
March 10th, 2013 | Post Comment
Thurman Zaveck Thurman vs. Zaveck paulie malignaggi keith thurman jan zaveck By Dan Ambrose: Undefeated welterweight contender Keith Thurman (20-0, 18 KO’s) made the mistake of addressing WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi at Thurman’s post-fight press conference last Saturday night following his lopsided 12 round unanimous decision victory over former IBF welterweight champion Jan Zaveck at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Thurman ended up finding himself on the receiving end of a verbal thrashing by the much better speaking Malignaggi, and I’m sure Thurman now regrets even mentioning Malignaggi.
Thurman: “Hey Paulie, how long you going to duck me, son? What do I have to do to get you to step inside the ring?”
Malignaggi: “I don’t fight for co-main event money. I’m past that. I’m not even knocking your hustle. It’s nothing personal. I’ve already answered it before, and I’m not even going to mention your name because I’ve got a fight to take care of.”
Thurman: “I don’t have twitter. I’m not a twitter bird like you, son.”
Malignaggi: “Take the d*** out of your mouth.”
Thurman: “You just need more money; I understand it’s a business. Once I get on that stage and I come at you, you better not duck me, son. This is my third appearance [on HBO]. You know the game and I’m coming for you. I will come to Brooklyn and strip you of your titles, son.”
Malignaggi: “Bring the money. Everyone else they offered me was a lot more than you, and I’m a business man like you said. I fight for money. This is prize fighting, you dummy! We don’t fight for free. This is prize fighting. You better somehow learn that now because you’re going to be in a problem soon. I’m not 38-years-old; you fought a punching bag [Jan Zaveck].”
Thurman: “You still have four losses.”
Malignaggi: “[I lost] To better guys than you. To guys better than you. I got paid for those four losses and two world titles.”
Thurman: “I would take [Miguel] Cotto out. I would take Cotto out.”
Malignaggi: “You’re open like, I’m not even going to say. I don’t want to insult you too much. I don’t just tweet. I talk and then I get in the ring and fight. You see this was your moment, post-fight press conference. Now everyone’s looking at me, everybody’s taking pictures of me. Look at you; get the f*** out of here. This is Brooklyn; this is my house.”
Thurman: “I’ll whoop you’re a**!”
Malignaggi: “I know, I know, you’ll whip my a**. All those bums you’ve been putting to sleep; like all those bums you’ve been putting to sleep. I don’t take fights on a weeks notice; I don’t fight 40-year-old men, and when you fight a world champion fights, you’re fighting guys in their prime, homey. You’re not fighting bums like the guy you fought tonight. All the guy needed was Everlast on his forehead because he was a punching bag. That guy came to make 12 rounds. He didn’t come to win. He didn’t come to beat you. You haven’t fought one opponent that came to win the fight. You fought guys that came to go the distance. Nobody comes to beat you. It says world champion on my belt.”
In Fairness to Thurman, he would easily beat Malignaggi if they were to ever fight but it’s highly unlikely they ever will. The two fighters are going in different directions. Malignaggi is considered a paper champion by many boxing fans, and he’s going to lose his next fight against Adrien Broner in June.
I personally feel that Malignaggi is not a good champion. He won his WBA title from Vyacheslav Senchenko, a fighter that many boxing fans saw as a weak paper champion. Malignaggi has defended the title once since picking it up in beating fringe contender Pablo Cesar Cano by a controversial 12 round split decision last year.
The fact that Golden Boy Promotions matched Malignaggi up with a weak contender like Cano suggests that they don’t have a lot of confidence in Malignaggi’s ability to beat the top contenders in the division. Thurman may not be able to beat Malignaggi in an argument, but he obviously would trounce him in the ring if that were to happen. He’d be okay just as long as he didn’t get Malignaggi in an argument because he can’t beat him in that area.
The reality is Malignaggi will be long gone as the WBA welterweight champion by the time Thurman becomes a big name, so there’s no point in Thurman even telling Malignaggi to not duck him. Thurman should be wise enough to see that Malignaggi is basically at the end of his short title reign. He’s not going to hold his strap for very much longer, and it’s highly unlikely he’ll ever win another title. He’s not going to beat Devon Alexander, Tim Bradley, or Floyd Mayweather Jr. That’s not going to happen, and he’s not going to beat any of the light welterweights either.
Put Malignaggi in with Danny Garcia and Malignaggi would be lucky to see the 5th round. He’s basically a paper champion, and Golden Boy did a good job of steering him towards the only champion that he had any chance to beat in Senchenko. There’s no place for Malignaggi to go once Broner beats him in June. He can stick around and maybe fight for a title or two, but he’s never going to win another one, no way.
Unlike Malignaggi, Thurman is actually is a very good welterweight with a promising future if he can continue to make 147. He can probably beat Bradley, Robert Guerrero, and maybe even Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao at this stage. He’s got a future in this weight class. A fight between him and Malignaggi would be a mismatch because Thurman is way too strong and young for Malignaggi. I think Malignaggi realizes this as well, although he’ll never admit and he’ll never agree to fight Thurman. They’re in different class levels. Thurman may not be in Malignaggi’s class as a speaker, but he’ll get the last laugh because he’s likely going to go far and make a lot more money than Malignaggi.

Hopkins wants to face Cleverly; willing to fight him in UK
March 10th, 2013 | Post Comment
Hopkins Cloud Hopkins vs. Cloud tavoris cloud nathan cleverly bernard hopkins By Scott Gilfoid: 48-year-old Bernard Hopkins (53-6-2, 32 KO’s) became the oldest fighter to ever capture a world title last night in beating IBF light heavyweight champion Tavoris Cloud (24-1, 19 KO’s) by a 12 round unanimous decision by the scores of 116-112, 117-111 and 116-112 in Brooklyn, New York.
According to Dan Rafael of ESPN, Hopkins would like to face WBO light heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly (25-0, 12 KO’s) in a unification bout next, and get this, Hopkins is willing to fight Cleverly in the UK in front of Cleverly’s British fans.
I think Hopkins is going to have to make other plans unless he’s willing to sit for a long time while he waits for Cleverly to face Robin Krasniqi (39-2, 15 KO’s) on April 20th, and then Jurgen Braehmer.
The World Boxing Organization already ordered that the Cleverly-Krasniqi winner has to fight Braehmer next, and not someone else. That means Hopkins won’t be able to face Cleverly anytime soon even if he does get past Krasniqi next month at the Wembley Arena in London, UK.
Hopkins needs to look in another direction towards one of the other light heavyweight champions like WBA champion Beibut Shumenov. That would be a good fight for Hopkins because he could pick up another strap, and further cement his position as the best fighter at 175. Ideally, Hopkins needs to lure one of the super middleweight champions to face him at a catchweight of 171, someone like Arthur Abraham or Mikkel Kessler.
Hopkins already said that he doesn’t want to fight Andre Ward, the WBA/WBC super middleweight champion, so he’s out. But that doesn’t mean he won’t take on Kessler or Abraham. I could see him being open to facing one of those guys. I would include Froch among the list but I don’t see him Kessler on May 25th in their fight in London, so there’s no real point in adding his name.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR: "LIL FLOYD SHUT THE SON UP...I SHUT HIS DADDY UP"
By Percy Crawford | March 11, 2013
"I doubt very serious that he's older than I am, but it ain't gonna make no difference. I already know exactly how it's gonna go down. You can start counting right now because he gonna be down for the count. I done been stabbed and shot and he ain't said nothing. I done been in gangs and everything. That shit he talking about don't mean nothing to me. He gonna be from the barrio alright; we can definitely get it on," stated world-class trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr., who continued his war of words of with fellow trainer Ruben Guerrero, father of multi-division world champion Robert Guerrero, who faces undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather on May 4 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mayweather Sr. let it be known that he's not at all concerned about anything that Ruben Guerrero has said thus far.
"He definitely gonna find out that Floyd Joy can back up every fucking thing that I say. Lil Floyd shut the son up at the photo shoot and I shut his daddy up because that motherfucker been quiet as hell since I accepted his challenge he put out there. You gonna see. I hope you can make it out there to the press conference Percy because it's gonna be something to see. He can jump off of that podium like he wanna do something. I'm gonna say, 'Don't nobody hold him. Let him come on. Let him come get this ass whoopin.' I'ma make him 30-1," Mayweather Sr. explained, making it crystal clear that his son isn't the only one in the family who can back up his words if push comes to shove.
"Talking about he done whooped 30 motherfuckers...come on, man. But you mark my words, if he even acts like he's gonna do something, you can start counting as soon as I stand up because his ass gonna be going down; ain't no ifs, ands or buts about that," he added. "He ain't talking no more though. I haven't heard shit he done said since I told him we can do it. I don't play, man, and he gonna find out how serious I am if the motherfucker come my way. His son did a lot of talking too until he was face to face with Lil Floyd, and his daddy gonna be the same way when he sees me."
