Floyd Mayweather will return to the ring on May 4 against Robert Guerrero, according to an official press release on BoxingScene.com, giving credence to long-standing rumors on the title bout. Per the release, Mayweather has signed a six-fight deal with CBS and Showtime, one that is the biggest in the sport of boxing (financial terms were not disclosed), and the first fight of that deal will be the matchup against Guerrero. Robert Guerrero has been calling out Floyd Mayweather Jr. since he was an obscure, skinny 135-pounder with no logical chance of getting a fight with boxing's pound-for-pound champion.Guerrero finally landed the bout he craved this week, and he's already got plenty more to say about his chances.Guerrero says Mayweather is declining, and he intends to exploit the flaws of the sport's top money-maker in their May 4 meeting at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas.''I see a lot of slippage,'' Guerrero said in a phone interview. ''I see him slowing down, as far as his legs not being as quick as they used to be.''Bold words are no surprise from Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KOs), the talkative former featherweight champion from Gilroy, Calif., who has even more old-school boxing bravado than Mayweather, whose interest in trash talk has faded in recent years.When asked if Mayweather was the best fighter in boxing, Guerrero was blunt: ''In my eyes, no.''''There's just so many fighters out there that he hasn't fought, and he was picking and choosing fights,'' Guerrero said. ''That's why I'm excited that I'm in the position I'm in, earning the spot where he actually is going to fight somebody who's earned it.''Guerrero betrays no fear of Mayweather, who hand-picked the challenger for their welterweight title bout in his debut on Showtime. Like Mayweather vs Guerrero On Facebook Guerrero thinks the champion doesn't realize what he's facing, and he also expects Mayweather to be fighting rust after a year away from the ring, including a two-month stint in jail. Golden Boy Promotions and Mayweather Promotions can hardly wait to make that announcement. Therefore my source indicated, Mayweather may most probably prevail and the fight will be covered by HBO. “As to how they will placate ShowTime, no one knows,” my source stated. My source also indicated that Robert Guerrero is now in the midst of looking for a house to rent in Vegas for the duration of the training period. One possible house maybe the one rented by Cesar Chavez Jr. when he trained in Las Vegas. Guerrero may not be the fighter most fans want to see tangle with Mayweather, but at the moment, there is absolutely no way anyone can arrange the fight that everyone wants to see -- the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao. Pacquiao is suspended in the State of Nevada for six months from the day he got knocked out by Juan Manuel Marquez and cannot fight in Nevada until that time is up and a new license is issued to him by the NSAC. Besides, the on-going immature feud between Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank is an everlasting impediment to that fight. In addition, as many say Mayweather does not really want to fight Pacquiao. People have provided various reasons for that so I am not touching that now. To some, Guerrero may not be the best choice but the guy has pretty good credentials including 5 successive wins against ranked opponents: Andre Berto (UD 12); Selchuk Aydin (UD12); Michael Katsidis (UD12); Vicente Escobedo (UD10) and Joel Casamayor (UD10). Admittedly, none of them are close to Floyd’s talents but they were still formidable opponents. Guerrero is also the current WBC Interim welterweight champion. That alone qualifies him as a legitimate opponent for Mayweather. “If I was a betting man,” my source said, “and I want to see Floyd fight again, I will book the first weekend of May and get a room in Vegas while the rates are still low. Once the fight is announced, the rates for the room at the venue hotel will jump exponentially.” “It’s a fight on Cinco de Mayo weekend. Robert Guerrero being a Latino fits the billing. e biggest news of this event isn’t with the announcement of the fight, but with the fact that Showtime will be showing the PPV event. Mayweather reportedly has signed a six fight ‘record breaking deal’. This is a huge change in the boxing industry. Mayweather has fought his entire career on HBO. mayweather vs guerrero live stream Update on: http://mayweathervsguerrerolivestreamppv.com/
