Mayweather-Marquez

By Alex Miles: This Saturday night, Floyd Mayweather (39-0-25 KO’s) will be fighting an indomitable Mexican warrior in the form of Juan Manuel Marquez (50-4-1, 37 KO’s). Now, I believe that people can say what they want about Mayweather’s wafer thing visade of bravado and Egocentrism, despite the fact that it is merely there to [...]

By William Mackay: Juan Manuel Marquez has been counted out by a lot of boxing experts, many of who point to his lack of size, speed and his advanced age as reasons why he won’t match up with Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Saturday night. In some ways, Marquez is already seen as the loser without [...]

By Chris Williams: I’ve thought it over long and hard and decided not to purchase Saturday’s $49.95 bout between Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Juan Manuel Marquez. I might have done it if the fight were going for $5 dollars, which is what I think its worth paying for. If they dropped it down to that [...]

By Eric Thomas: Floyd Mayweather Jr. was on his best behavior at his final press conference with Juan Manuel Marquez, saying mostly nice things. “”I have a lot of respect for Marquez.

The problem that seems to be holding Mayweather back from achieving the status of a fighter [...]

By Sean McDaniel: There’s little question that Juan Manuel Marquez has the deck stacked against him going into this Saturday night’s bout against unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. In almost every department, Mayweather, 32, is better than Marquez, save for a few such as heart, recent activity and hunger. However, Marquez, 36, might be able to [...]

By Chris Williams: This fight is an utter joke. I for one am not in the least bit interested in seeing this bout and watching poor Juan Manuel Marquez get slaughtered. If you people think that Marquez has a chance against Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Saturday night then I have some desert property I want [...]

By Chris Williams: After looking at a recent video of Floyd Mayweather Jr. complaining about not being loved, among other things, I’m beginning to think that Mayweather Jr. has a huge chip on his shoulder. Looking a little emotional, Mayweather went on at length, saying “This country needs to be more positive,” he said. “We’re [...]

By Edgar Perez: In the last two weeks we have heard the rhetoric between the boxing world and MMA world ratchet to a new level, or shall one say, dip to new lows. The petty arguments about the merits of each sport are not usually much of a concern for the average fan because the [...]

By Chris Williams: I just checked with my cable outlet and found out that they want $49.95 for viewers to purchase the pay-per-view card between Floyd Mayweather vs. Juan Manuel Marquez this Saturday night on September 19th. I’m really debating whether or not the fight is worth buying for that kind of cash. Really, it [...]

By William Mackay: I hate really hate to say this but I think Juan Manuel Marquez has only one chance of beating Floyd Mayweather Jr. this Saturday night and that’s by knocking Mayweather out. I wish it wasn’t this way, but I really think Marquez has to knock him out, because Marquez probably won’t be [...]

By Dave Lahr: I’m trying to figure out what exactly Floyd Mayweather Jr. will prove in beating Juan Manuel Marquez this Saturday night. He’s in an almost no win situation. I can’t find a lot of things to say what Mayweather will get from this fight, to be honest. For one, Mayweather is fighting at [...]

By Conrad Allan: What is it about the sport of boxing that entices people to demand more of a boxer than they themselves would offer or condone within the confines of their own career? He is a warrior! He challenged the best! He is humble! He cherrypicks! He’s a safety first fighter! He is a [...]

By Dave Lahr: After watching the third episode of the HBO Mayweather-Marquez 24/7 episode 3, I think Jan Manuel Marquez (50-4-1, 37 KO’s) is going to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. (39-0, 25 KO’s) this Saturday night at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

By Philip H. Anselmo: What will be the deciding factor in the upcoming Vitali Klitschko— Cristobal Arreola bout? Klitschko’s advanced age and supposed slower reflexes, or Arreola’s weight issues and lack of top-10 experience? That’s easy; Arreola’s glaring deficiencies. Look for Chris to show lots of heart, while for the most part Vitali negates any [...]

By Dave Lahr: When you look at how good Floyd Mayweather Jr. was earlier in his career and how much he was achieving by winning titles in the super featherweight, lightweight. Light welterweight and welterweight divisions, and then look at him now, Mayweather seems to be kind of a sell out in a way. Mayweather [...]

By Quinton Emerson: Much of the talk about this fight has to do with Floyd Mayweather Jr. having lost something since his last fight. Now I admit that’s a possibility, but it’s unlikely. When great fighters lose ability it’s not just because of age. Not taking care of their bodies and bad habits also contribute [...]

By Eric Thomas: Freddie Roach isn’t very high on the chances of Juan Manuel Marquez against Floyd Mayweather Jr. on September 19th. Indeed, it looks as if Roach, the trainer for Manny Pacquiao, isn’t giving Marquez much of any chance to beat Mayweather. This is what Roach has to say about Marquez’s chances against Mayweather:

By Manuel Perez: With less than two weeks to go before the Floyd Mayweather vs. Juan Manuel Marquez fight takes place at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada, few boxing fans are giving Marquez must of any chance in this fight. It seems as if the fans are betting that Mayweather, now 32, will [...]

By Jason Kim: I kind of wish that Juan Manuel Marquez hadn’t been so out in the open about letting HBO show him drinking his own pee on the HBO Mayweather-Marquez 24/7 episode 2. I think that was a huge mistake by Marquez, because it seems like that’s overshadowing talk about his talent. I guess [...]

By William Mackay: Juan Manuel Marquez will find himself in a tough situation against Floyd Mayweather in their upcoming bout on September 19th.

By Eric Thomas: In the latest news from the rumor mill, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is getting beaten up in sparring sessions with World Boxing Organization light welterweight champion Lamont Peterson (27-0, 13 KO’s).

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.

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
