Don't be surprised if Yoshi ends up giving Robert that work :mjpls:

He used crossfit to get ready for this fight :mjlol:


Breh, if the Ultimo Dragon beats Robert Guerrero, Im throwing him back in the "Mexi-Cools" category with all the other overrated Mexican fighters of the last 10 years who were supposed to be legit (Brandon Rios, Victor Ortiz, Juan Diaz, etc)

Juan Diaz don't deserve to be in that pile breh. He overachieved like a muthafukka. If someone would have told me that lil nikka from those NBC and Showtime triple headers that use to feature Rocky Juarez and Bojado would have went on to become a champ and beat guys like Freitas and Julio Diaz I would have prolly told them to :camby:

Guerrero was always a B level guy being promoted as an elite boxer. He jumped around weight classes collecting vacant belts acting like he was some great boxer. He went life an death with Escobedo, Berto, and Aydin. He got his ass kicked by Salido and Floyd. Dude was never really that good. He just always had good people behind him pushing his ass forward.

Rios at least won his first big step up fight to get his title. Ghost always got them cherry pick belts.

As far as I'm concerned Ortiz and The Ghost are really on the same level. Just one didn't jump a bunch of divisions trying to get a pay day and then semi retire after he got the clinic of his life.

You can't put Guerrero and Ortiz on the same level. One is an overachiever with some heart and grit. The other is an underachiever who has come up short on the big stage time and time again. I don't like either of them but Ortiz on a sublevel no one deserves to be unfairly labeled with.

Yeah Guerrero is like a slight notch above Ortiz, but is that really saying much. Both were B level cats having their biggest wins against Berto

Both got thrashed by rugged punchers that don't give a fukk (Salido/Maidana)

One just started out at a lower weight and jumped around catching vacant belts and avoiding all the real challenges, while the other was groomed to be a star but lost in his first real fight.

I'd put Rios and the Baby Bull above both of them.

Yeah, because he was fighting an unknown local kid who's best victory was over Emmanuel Taylor....a C fighter at best.


You cant expect Ruslan Provodnikov, who was coming off a break out performance against Timothy Bradley and Mike Alvarado, to be super interested in fighting against a fighter like Chris Algieri......especially when he was looking forward to fighting Manny Pacquiao or Juan Manuel Marquez instead.



That doesnt mean that he didnt want his belt:manny:
:camby: that BS excuse
:mjlol: @Skip b being a bigger ghost stan than floyd stan :mjlol:
