If Floyd Mayweather Jr. does fight on May 5th, as his schedule has provided enabling him to stay out of jail for a while...the opponent will be Canelo Alvarez according to World Class trainer Robert Garcia. The Oxnard based former World Champion has taken on the challenging task of rebuilding the career of Kelly Pavlik despite his troubles, as he continues to guide Nonito Donaire toward the top of the pound for pound rankings. Garcia chimed in on Mayweather at Saturday's workout featuring Nonito in San Carlos. Convinced Pac-man v. Floyd will never happen, he also dismissed Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero as a potential opponent for Mayweather on Cinco de Mayo in Vegas. His reasoning...Floyds wants a less dangerous opponent, a foe who is not a southpaw, and ideally an inexperienced challenger like Saul Alvarez who at 21 has conquered all in his native Mexico, but has yet to have a defining win in the spotlight. Would Golden Boy risk it's top marquee Mexican warrior against the recognized pound for pound best at this stage of his career? Highly unlikely. Putting up another GB promoted fighter in Guerrero makes more sense, but Mayweather appears cold on fighting a dangerous lefty, preferring a bigger name on the downside of his career. Publicist Mario Serrano who touts "The Ghost" is every waking hour, thinks his fighter remains in the mix. The vast majority of the boxing community disagrees.
no not robert guerrero. hes ok but not the at mayweathers level.
