Mayweather vs. Marquez

By Julian Valenzuela: I have been a Juan Manuel Marquez fan my whole life. I’m also a person who sees boxing and boxers for what they are and stand for. I’m not biased, I don’t say things to make one fighter look better than another if its not true or really feel that way.

By John F. McKenna (McJack): Everyone concedes that when World Boxing Organization (WBO)/ World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez (53-5-1, 39 KO’s) takes on WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38 KO’s) he will either win or go out on his shield in the attempt. There is no quit in “Dinamita”. He [...]

By Joseph Hirsch: Love him or hate him, it’s getting mighty hard to make a case against Floyd Mayweather Jr. being an all-time great. The main sticking point for people who believe he doesn’t belong near the top of the list is that unlike greats like “Sugar” Ray Robinson, he doesn’t have over one-hundred fights [...]

By Chris Williams: If Manny Pacquiao wanted to get an even split of a future revenue split in a fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr., he didn’t help himself with his numbers for his March 13th bout against Joshua Clottey. ESPN reported today that the Pacquiao-Clottey fight netted just 700,000 pay-per-view buys. That might be a [...]

By Chris Williams: Through no great surprise, World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (38-2, 37 KO’s) ended up throwing more punches – 802 – in his 10th round stoppage of previously unbeaten Chris Arreola last Saturday night compared to Floyd Mayweather’s 493 for his 12 round unanimous decision win over Juan Manuel Marquez on [...]

By Chris Williams: HBO is announcing that last weekend’s bout between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Juan Manuel Marquez has brought in an incredible 1 million pay-per-view buys, bringing in $52 million dollars.

By Chris Williams: If the latest news reports are too believed, the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Juan Manuel Marquez fight could go as high as 1.6 million pay-per-view buys, if you believe the early reports. All I can say is that if these numbers aren’t bogus, like I think they are, there’s a lot of [...]

By Bal Kang: I wanted to take a step back before I wrote this piece as I wanted to gather my thoughts and not get to emotional, although I must stress I found it difficult. Now that the dust has settled and after reading countless articles I finally decided to put my take on the [...]

By Chris Williams: Believe it or not, the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Juan Manuel Marquez bout last Saturday night could end up coming close to 1 million PPV buys, according to Kevin Iole of Yahoo. Yeah, when pigs fly. I don’t believe it for a second, even if they do come out with an official [...]

By Eric Hernandez: Not that Floyd Mayweather Jr. needs me to stick up for him or validate who he is, after all Mayweather does a pretty good job of doing it himself, but after reading nothing but negative press on Mayweather for the last few years I have decided that maybe an unbiased view on [...]

By Edgar Perez: Nothing has revealed the difference between the mentality of Cotto and Pacquiao supporters versus the mentality of those that make excuses for Mayweather like the aftermath of Mayweather coming in two pounds over the agreed upon weight for the weigh-in of his match with Marquez. Cotto and Pacquiao stand in sharp contrast [...]

By Liam Santiago: My most recent predictions have mostly all gone the wrong way. I predicted Witter to beat Alexander, Campbell to beat Bradley and Judah to stop Hatton Jnr in four rounds (that fight fell through). I am starting to wonder, am I cursed? Well, i’m going to make a few more predictions, starting [...]

By Don Ramos: 1. Call a spade a spade: it was a mismatch from the start. There was never any doubt on the result of the match. Even the betting odds were 4-1 in favour of Mayweather. The fight proved that Mayweather still has his boxing skills intact. This is not unusual, given he is [...]

By Elad Baron: Watching Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the early hours of Sunday morning one thing was clear, the natural abilities of the man can never be questioned.

By Chris Williams: I kept my word. I didn’t shell out a mint to watch this worthless card. Didn’t I tell everyone that this was going to be a total slaughter? What did you expect? Mayweather came into the fight probably weighing 160 against a pumped up lightweight in Juan Manuel Marquez.

By Dave Lahr: You got to fill a little bit sorry for Floyd Mayweather Jr. (40-0, 25 KO’s) right about now, because just after he beat Juan Manuel Marquez (50-5-1, 37 KO’s) by a lopsided 12 round unanimous decision by the scores of 120-107, 119-108 and 118-109 last night at the MGM Grand, in Las [...]

By Steven Wain: Anyone who saw last night fight will agree that Floyd “money” Mayweather is not only an extremely talented boxer; he is in fact the king. Many people though 2 years out of the game and Floyd would be slow, rusty, and some people were even writing him off, Last night all those [...]

By Liam Santiago: Floyd Mayweather Jnr proved himself to be absolutely stunning last night, winning every round over Juan Marquez, who hardly landed a decent punch. The man who took Pacquiao to the wire, and even pushed him to a draw, in two fights who many say Marquez won, was made to look very average [...]

By Warren Cloud: This Mexican independence day weekend, Millions of Juan Manuel Marquez fans were hoping for an upset that was never meant to be. Marquez’ past fights against boxing greats like Marco Antonio Barrera, Joel Casamayore, and Manny Pacquiao had proven Marquez a warrior composed purely of guts and heart.

By Brian Kenneth Blackwell: Tonight Floyd Mayweather Jr. made one thing very clear. He cannot be beaten at this stage of his career by a smaller man. He simply has too much speed, and that negates the one advantage a smaller fighter brings with him. This goes for any and all smaller challengers relevant to [...]

By Matthew Fogg: Firstly, I am sure there will be many arguments and comments raised on and from several different boxing sources on this subject, but from what I saw at the weigh-in between the fighters Floyd Mayweather Jr. (39-0, 25KO’s) and Juan Manuel Marquez (50-4-1, 37KO’s) I feel inclined to comment.

By Jason Kim: Floyd Mayweather Jr. probably will have enough left in the tank to beat lightweight Juan Manuel Marquez on Saturday night at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada, but I don’t see Mayweather lasting too much longer at the top of the sport. Typically, fighters that retire and make a comeback fail [...]

By Chris Kelly: It’s not easy being Floyd “Money” Mayweather. Although without said money, it would certainly be a lot harder. Mayweather Jr. has maintained a perfect unbeaten mantle throughout his career and retired a five-time world Champion with an impressive record of 39-0 (25) boasting wins over an array of high caliber fighters, including [...]
