By Jason Kim: I don’t know if my eyes are doing tricks on me or not, but Juan Manuel Marquez (50-4-1, 37 KO’s) suddenly looks painfully slow to me when he’s throwing punches. I just finished watching HBO’s Mayweather-Marquez 24/7 pt. 2 and noticed how big and slow Marquez is starting to look.

Will Mayweather Be the Same Safety First Fighter He’s Been In the Past?
By Chris Williams: I’m really curious which Floyd Mayweather Jr. will show up on September 19th against Juan Manuel Marquez. Will it be the exciting fighter from the past that liked to throw speedy combinations and take his opponents apart, or the dull safety first, pitty pat defensive fighter that we’ve seen in many of Mayweather’s fights in the past three years.
Don’t underestimate Mayweather’s heart!
By Liam Santiago: There seems to be more and more boxing critics hyping the 19th September showdown between Marquez and Mayweather as a heart vs skill battle. Yes, Marquez has a massive amount of desire to win, he is a true warrior. And Mayweather does have amazing skill but he also has a huge heart. Recent reports say he is training like a beast.
Why Does Mayweather Fight Only Small Guys Now?
By Chris Williams: For a fighter that is considered to be the greatest fighter in boxing, Floyd Mayweather seems to really like to pick out small fighters to mix it up with. I know Mayweather seems himself as another Sugar Ray Robinson and all, but if I remember correctly, Robinson was about moving up in weight to take on fighters or at the minimum, he’d fight opponents his same size.
Will Mayweather’s Speed Neutralize Marquez’s Power?
By William Mackay: In looking at the training of the two fighters on HBO’s Mayweather-Marquez 24/7 series, it looks as if Juan Manuel Marquez will be the more powerful fighter of the two on September 19th. However, the one drawback of Marquez putting on so much muscle is that he looks downright slow in the training video and there’s questions whether Mayweather’s speed might be a huge problem for him in this fight.
Next five possible opponents for Pacquiao
By Liam Santiago: Assuming that Manny Pacquiao can defeat Miguel Cotto on November 14th, here is a list of five possible next opponents for the Filipino. Of course, assuming that he gets through Cotto is a very big assumption. Cotto has every asset to beat Pacquiao and it will be a huge test for him. But here are five big names that would enhance Pac-Man’s legacy.
Marquez Using Mayweather to get to Pacquiao
By Dave Lahr: Juan Manuel Marquez has a single-minded determination to avenge his questionable 12 round split decision defeat at the hands of Manny Pacquiao and is using his September 19th fight against Floyd Mayweather as a tool to get another shot, his 3rd, at fighting Pacquiao. It’s unfortunate that Marquez, 36, has to go through Mayweather to get another shot at Pacquiao, because Marquez’s fight last year with Pacquiao appeared to be a badly scored bout, much like the Juan Diaz fight against Paulie Malignaggi.
De La Hoya sees Marquez as having the style to beat Mayweather Jr.
By Sean McDaniel: Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy Promotions thinks that Juan Manuel Marquez has the style to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. on September 19th. Specifically, De La Hoya points out Marquez’s counter punching ability, along with his aggressiveness and his excellent stamina.
Mayweather-Marquez: Floyd looking to extend his unbeaten record
By William Mackay: Undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. (39-0, 25 KO’s) is feeling a lot of pressure on himself to extend his unbeaten by beating lightweight Juan Manuel Marquez (50-4-1, 37 KO’s) on September 19th when they face off. Mayweather, 32, like many unbeaten fighters, badly wants to keep his fight record flawless by beating the 36-year-old Marquez.
Don’t Count on Mosley Getting a Shot at Pacquiao or Mayweather In the Future
By Eric Thomas: It’s more than a little sad that the best fighter in the welterweight division Shane Mosley has essentially been frozen out by the arguably more popular fighters in boxing, such as Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. But that’s what appears to be happening.
