In 2005 he drew with Friday Ahunanya and lost to James Toney. In 2006, he defeated once-beaten British southpaw and Olympic Gold medalist Audley Harrison at the Agua Caliente casino, but lost his next fight against another southpaw Tony Thompson. In 2007 he continued his slide with losses against unbeaten Eddie Chambers in May and Robert Hawkins in December.
In October 2008, Guinn knocked out heavyweight prospect Jean Francois Bergeron in the second round. In 2009, Guinn knocked out unbeaten Johnnie White (21-0) in a 1st round knockout to move back into contendership status and recently defeated Charles Davis by decision.
