SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Robert Guerrero is in the Golden Boy’s corner after the dynamic two-time featherweight champion signed with Oscar De La Hoya’s promotions company on Thursday.

Guerrero (22-1-1, 15 KOs) hasn’t fought in nearly 10 months while attempting to end his association with promoter Dan Goossen. After Guerrero received that freedom in an arbitration ruling on Tuesday, he signed with Golden Boy Promotions, which hopes to turn the 25-year-old into a rising star.

"They’ve got everything," Guerrero told The Associated Press. "They’re going to be able to make big fights for me. They take care of their fighters and have a lot of big cards."

Guerrero, known to his Northern California fans as "The Ghost," said he sought a breakup with Goossen in part because he hadn’t received the big-money fights he craved against the likes of Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, who have both since moved up in weight. Guerrero relinquished his IBF featherweight title last June in a plan to move up to 130 pounds (59 kilograms), where he plans to fight for a title in 2009.

Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer plans to put Guerrero’s comeback fight on the undercard of Antonio Margarito’s welterweight title bout with Sugar Shane Mosley at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Jan. 24. Schaefer is negotiating with HBO, which plans to show only the main event on its telecast, to showcase highlights of Guerrero’s fight.

"What is there not to like?" Schaefer said. "The guy is such an amazing fighter in the ring, so explosive, so fun to watch. There are very few fighters who really bring that thrill and give it their all. I really think he is the total package. He has a tremendous opportunity right now with some of these bigger names in the sport closer to retirement."

Schaefer has been on a signing spree in the last year, eager to add up-and-coming fighters to a company that was built by aging superstars De La Hoya, Mosley and Bernard Hopkins. Golden Boy adds Guerrero to a list of young talent including Victor Ortiz, heavyweight David Haye and Danny Jacobs.
