Mayweather vs. Marquez: Look for Juan to Pull Off an Upset
By Matt Stein: With his two years away from boxing, former pound-for-pound number #1 boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr’s career has dimmed somewhat in the eyes of many fans. Mayweather, now 32, is hoping he can recapture the fans that he lost with his time off from boxing by fighting Juan Manuel Marquez on September 19th.

Is Mayweather scared of a Hatton rematch?
By Liam Santiago: Mayweather seems very eager to put to bed any chance of a rematch with the big punching, major ticket selling, warrior, Ricky Hatton. It annoys me. Especially as a boxing expert.
