Robert Guerrero feels he will get a shot at Mayweather – Boxing News
Following his superb victory over Andre ‘The Beast’ Berto, Robert ‘The Ghost’ Guerrero is hopeful that he would score a shot at WBC middleweight titlist Floyd Mayweather Jr. Guerrero defeated Berto past Saturday via unanimous decision. During the post-fight
interview, he called out Floyd Mayweather for a fight. Although there has not been any confirmation from Mayweather, Richard Schaefer, Chief Executive of Golden Boy Promotions, believes the fight is quite possible.
“I see myself fighting Floyd Mayweather next. I got a lot of criticism when I called him out the first time. Now, it's time to make it happen. I fought the right fights at welterweight. I'm the welterweight interim WBC champion, the No. 1 contender to fight
him, so it's time to make it happen,” said Guerrero in his recent interview.
When asked about Berto and what he expected from ‘The Beast’, Guerrero revealed, “I knew Berto had a soft chin. I knew he goes down early. He goes down early, and every time in his fights he's been down, it's been early.”
For now, Guerrero is hoping to score a shot at Mayweather, believing that it would be the biggest opportunity of his life to prove his worth.
In should be noted here that there has not been any confirmation from Mayweather regarding accepting Guerrero’s challenge. To most analysts, Guerrero is an easy kill for Berto. He stands with 31 wins and 1 losses while Mayweather has remained undefeated
to date with 45 wins.
Many are hoping that Mayweather would choose Filipino fight sensation Manny Pacquiao or Saul Alvarez instead of going for Guerrero.
If Guerrero gets a chance to fight the best in the business, it would be his shot to prove his mettle. A win could mean everything for him but a loss would push him down in his career once again. It should be noted here that Guerrero has been a controversial
fighter throughout his career. He believes he been underrated by many analysts and that now it is his time to grab the top position.
While Guerrero is hoping for Mayweather to accept his challenge, most fans are looking forward to a fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao instead of Guerrero and Mayweather.
