Do you give Mayweather credit for fighting Guerrero?

I'm one of FLoyd's biggest critics, but honestly, this is a pretty decent fight. Guerrero is still probably a natural lightweight, or 140 pounder, but he's proved he can compete at 147.

Of course there's a lot of other guys I'd rather see Floyd fight, but I understand boxing is a business, and the fight has to be sellable, and since we can't get Canelo/Trout-Floyd, or Martinez, or Pacquiao, this isn't nearly as bad of an opponent as a lot of people are making out.

Guerrero is a very solid boxer-puncher, with a pretty complete skill-set.

He should at least make Floyd work for the victory.

So nah, I wouldn't say he's cherry-picking, but simply picking the best viable opponent for the time being, even if there are better match-ups out there. And yes, he should get SOME credit if he thoroughly beats Guerrero.

You have to give a man credit anytime he steps into the ring. Mayweather's problem may be that he is skilled enough and defensively oriented so he makes fights look boring. Guerrero is a tough fighter with decent skills, but not really on Mayweather's level, then again, in terms of skill and ring smarts, who is? I think that Mayweather makes a balanced decision. He takes on opponents that are potentially tough, but that he thinks have enough flaws that can be exploited for him to win. I would not call that cherry picking per se, but he and his team are smart about the business as well as the sport of boxing. Every fight is legit. Guerrero is not a push over. He is determined to go in and make it a fight. That said, I don't know that he has all the tools to do so against Mayweather's style.

Let me say this, this is ok, a legit fight.

But having said that, the only way for Guerrero to win is if stays on his feet til the end of the fight and if they get the judges that worked the Bradley-Pacquiao fight.

We all saw what Guerrero just did to Berto. How about this if Guerrero had not beat Berto and Floyd fought Berto instead no one would have had a problem. Floyd is just a better fighter than these guys right n ow but he is getting older and all it takes is a little slip.
