Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero is tired of waiting. He's willing and ready for all comers first fight back from shoulder surgery

Injuries and family challenges have created a rocky road toward the top of the boxing world for Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero. Despite the latest setback his plan remains to take on all comers. Most fighters would take a tune up fight following shoulder surgery. Not Robert. His opportunity against Marcos Maidana a name opponent in front of a Worldwide audience was derailed by a thrown jab in training the week prior to his homecoming in San Jose at HP Pavilion. The rotator cuff tear required surgery, and Guerrero remains on the shelf, with January 1st his approved date for hitting the heavy bag and resuming serious training. Following victories over Joel Casamayor, and Michael Katsitis...Robert was finally on the fast track, but stalled again by the operation. Dealing with wife Casey's leukemia since his son's birth 5 years ago placed his career on hold from time to time but Guerrero stayed true to his faith and family, and took time off during bone marrow treatments, to deal with the deadly disease. Casey Guerrero has been Cancer free for over a year thanks to a successful transplant and Robert staying by her side. That devotion has elevated Guerrero's confidence, and consequently performance in the ring. He's been able to train away from his home in Gilroy now that Casey is now OK. Complicating his rise to the top was a sticky dispute with former promoter Goossen-Tutor. Robert won his release and joined Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions. Guerrero wants Mayweather, Pac-man, Amir Kahn and any top welterweight, and seems to be willing to jump right over the 140 pound Jr. Welter class for a shot at the big boys. That is a noble and confident position to take...but is it a wise one? Perhaps waiting a little longer might be a good thing, but Guerrero's patience is wearing thin.
