Hey, I am fairly new to this forum but I think this question needs to be asked.

Who is Robert Guerrero ? Have you ever heard of him ? What has he done in his career to even put his name in the same sentence as Floyd Mayweather's ? I said the same thing about about Amir Khan but it seems to be touching plenty of fighters. How can these people become relevant like that ? They just talk. Don't get me wrong, Guerrero - cool guy, great story but Mayweather ? Really ?

Saddest part is that people are actually thinking about him being a suitable opponent for Floyd.

So, can you please open my mind or at least explain to me, what makes Guerrero THE guy ? Thanks !

Are you saying Mayweather was 160 lbs vs Marquez on fight night? That's ridiculous. First of all there is no proof of that. Second, maybe he 'looked' bigger than normal because he was in there with a bloated JMM. Mayweather weighed 150 vs De La Hoya on fight night, actually losing 2 lbs from his official weigh in weight of 152 I believe. And most recently vs Ortiz he weighed in at 150 on fight night. Those are pretty much the only times HBO announced his weight on fight night. There is no way Floyd weighed anywhere near 160 vs Marquez. Not a chance.

Yep, Im sure he was 160 or AT LEAST 158 the night he fought Marquez. There is a chance. Marquez weighed 148 on fight night against Floyd and Floyd didn't allow them to weigh him on the unofficial scales, so yeah...thats a clear indicator, being the fact that he weighed in at 146 the day before. He was already catching flack about JMM being smaller from jump, so why even get on the unofficial scale and prove to people that he was waaaay bigger than JMM?

As far as the De La Hoya fight, he may have came down 2 pounds overnight, but thats according to his word, so we dont have sufficient evidence. Neither one of them were weighed on the unofficial scales, so we dont know. He weighed in at 150 at the weigh-in of the De La Hoya fight, and Oscar hit the 154 lb mark.

You're right, he did gain only 3 pounds overnight for the Ortiz fight, but that was only after about a 13-14 month lay-off (if you exclude the weeks that he started training) vs a 21 month lay-off before the JMM fight. HBO has announced his official weights in more than a few of his fights. He was 146 at the weigh-in AND on the unofficial scale for the Judah fight. He was 136.5 for the Corrales fight, 138 for the 2nd Castillo bout, 149 for the Baldomir fight, 142 for Brusseles, and a few others.
