On Saturday, May 4, 2013, pound-for-pound king Floyd “Money” Mayweather will look to keep his record-breaking undefeated streak alive against Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero. With Manny Pacquiao’s recent KO loss, Floyd reigns supreme as the world’s #1 pound-for-pound fighter, and another successful defense of his WBC Welterweight title will only further cement his legacy as one of the greatest to ever lace up a pair of gloves. While many fans and pundits find Mayweather’s persona particularly irritating, even his most rabid critics can’t deny that he is the kind of talent that comes around once every few generations. That being said, though, Guerrero is a long way from a walkover fight. He may not have the same name value as a Pacquiao or Marquez, but Guerrero is a bruising fighter who has enjoyed success at every weight class he has entered. Coming off a brutal fight with Andre Berto, Guerrero is looking at the biggest opportunity of his young career. A win here would instantly catapult Guerrero to superstardom, and if Floyd is complacent or underestimates his opponent, this could turn into the biggest upset the sport has seen since Buster Douglas dethroned Mike Tyson. This fight doesn’t have the same drawing power as some of the “superfights” fans have been clamoring for, but it is proof positive that boxing is a long way from dead. These are two of the world’s greatest fighters meeting in their primes, and that should be music to the ears of boxing fans the world over.
