All three judges had it 9 rounds to 3; the Showtime hosts had it 11-1 (X2) and 10-2. I agreed with 11-1.

Guerrero couldn't match Floyd's speed and timing. Mayweather scored 60% of his "power punches." Guerrero did land a few shots, but he was intimidated and hesitated to punch, even when Floyd held his hands at his side, and backed into the ropes.

Floyd hurt his right hand in the bout; I'd guess that took place around the 7th round, as he began throwing more lefts from then on.

At this point, there is no active fighter Mayweather's size who can compete with him. He definitely ranks among the greatest of any era.
