Joan Guzman excited fight fans with his potential, circa 2005. Fight fans saw his skills, his style, and tossed him into the mental mix with the best and brightest at 126 pounds. But weight woes, such as when he was 3½ pounds overweight for a fight with unified lightweight champ Nate Campbell in September 2008 and pulled out of the fight at the 11th hour, put him on a watch list. Will he make weight? Does he want it? Can we rely on him? Guzman, then a Brooklyn resident, exacerbated the issue when he was nine pounds over the lightweight limit for a 2010 rematch with Ali Funeka.
