It will be kinda fun to see him pull a James Toney like move (not saying turning into a fat cow) but moving up in weight and beating guys soley on his defensive slicks and well timed shots. I think he should be able to pull that off at 140lbs because the opposition only gets slower as you move up in weight.
His chin should allow him to move up in weight as well, who knows, either way it should be fun to watch because I think he is definitely going to drag out his boxing career.

It would be shocking to see Guzman successful past 140. The Campbell fight might tell us a lot about Guzman's future potential.. his stamina and speed, maybe even his punching power (which I think was very underrated at 130).
The Toney comparison is interesting, but I think Guzman is a much different case because of how much he depends on movement and footspeed. He can't fight much larger top fighters just standing in the pocket and exchanging with them for 12 rounds.
