In the first part of my interview with former champion Robert ?The Ghost? Guerrero, we discussed in-depth his August 27th challenge of Argentinean brute Marcos Maidana. The HBO-televised attraction could pan out to be one of the year?s best fights and I find it interesting that Guerrero, who started his career at 122 pounds, is now around some of the biggest names at 140 and 147 pounds. If successful against Maidana in a few weeks? time, no easy task given Marco?s relentless nature, Guerrero will be in a prime position to land some huge fights in the near future. With that in mind I was sure to get his take on some storylines taking place near his new weight class, including a fight with WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan in the future, Timothy Bradley?s recent inactivity, Floyd Mayweather?s return against Victor Ortiz, and why he feels Manny Pacquiao has the edge over Juan Manuel Marquez in their November 12th trilogy in Las Vegas.
This is what Guerrero had to say?
Reflecting on Amir Khan?s TKO over Zab Judah in Las Vegas? ?Yeah, I saw the fight. It was a good fight. I went out there, checked it out and wanted to see what Amir Khan could do. He?s a great boxer, he comes out and does his thing, and he?s one top of his game. He?s on top of his game and he?s a future opponent for me.?
Sizing up Khan as on opponent down the road? ?You got to sit down and come up with a game plan for a guy like Khan. He did call me out for this last fight that he had. He said that he didn?t want to fight Zab Judah, and Zab Judah was old. He called me out and I picked the challenge but he decided to go that same way with Zab Judah. You?ve got to prepare for everybody different. You?ve got to go back, break a guy down, look his weaknesses, his strengths, and come up with a game plan to go against that. It?s kind of hard to say how you are going to fight him and right now my main focus is Marcos Maidana and that?s where all my attention is going to.?
