Mayweather vs. Marquez

By Dave Lahr: In a shocking revelation from Floyd Mayweather Jr., he admitted that he has to fight some other fighters to be considered one of the best fighters. “There are a few more guys I have to beat in my era for people to say that Floyd Mayweather was the best. There’s no doubt [...]

By Manuel Perez: Freddie Roach is back to his art of predicting fights again, this time Roach is predicting that Floyd Mayweather Jr. will beat Juan Manuel Marquez on Saturday. “I like Mayweather to win on a decision, although it might be a boring fight because they are both naturally counter punchers,” Roach said.

By Jim Dower: I think this fight would have been a great one eight years ago in 2001 when Floyd Mayweather Jr. was fighting as a super featherweight and Juan Manuel Marquez was a featherweight. At that time, Marquez was 28-years-old and in the prime of his boxing career and not all beat up, and [...]

By Dave Lahr: Judging by how poorly the ticket sales have gone fore Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Juan Manuel Marquez bout for September 19th, I’m starting to wonder whether Mayweather is in fact a huge pay-per-view attraction. Marquez may not be a big star, but he’s certainly popular enough to create a big PPV gate [...]

By Jason Kim: Juan Manuel Marquez has nothing to lose this Saturday night against unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. and everything to gain. In fact, Marquez, 36, stands to gain quite a lot if he can somehow pull off a miracle win over the previous number #1 pound-for-pound star Mayweather. This would be a huge win [...]

By Manuel Perez: Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be in over his head on Saturday night and wishing he had taken a tune-up bout or three before facing a fighter like Juan Manuel Marquez. This is going to be the proving ground for Marquez, who is moving up two divisions to take the fight with Mayweather. [...]

By Chris Williams: I see this Saturday nights bout between Floyd Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez as the worse mismatch in mega fights since the Ricky Hatton vs. Manny Pacquiao bout in May. I like boxing, but I don’t like paying $50 and not getting my monies worth out of the deal. I don’t think [...]

By Zubair Ali: In a clash of the titans, undisputed lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez (50-4-1, 37 KOs) takes on 5 weight world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr (39-0, 25 KO’s) at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada, on September 19th. Mayweather, who is returning from his self imposed exile from the sport, will be looking [...]

Photo: Pavel Terekhov – By Zubair Ali: Recent fights have had me thinking that the definition of an ‘old’ fighter needs revising. A fighter in his 30’s no longer seems to be all that old. Danny Williams, who sensationally knocked out the ferocious Mike Tyson, successfully defended his British heavyweight title against John McDermott aged [...]

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. He hasn’t said anything bad about me, so I have nothing bad to say about him,” Mayweather said. This was a refreshing departure [...]

By Chris Williams: Recently Floyd Mayweather Jr. complained about not being as well liked in the United States as he should be, saying that if he was from another country he would be more well liked my boxing fans. 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: 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 Sean McDaniel: The heavyweight title bout between Chris Arreola and WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko is only two weeks away, but it might as well be two years considering that it’s hardly being talked about in boxing circles. Most of the attention is currently being focused on the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Juan Manuel [...]

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 Dave Lahr: This Saturday night there are a lot of questions about Floyd Mayweather Jr. (39-0, 25 KO’s) that will be answered in his catch weight fight with Mexican great Juan Manuel Marquez (50-4-1, 37 KO’s) at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. To start with, boxing fans are wondering how Mayweather will [...]

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 Manuel Perez: As another fine site already pointed out, Juan Manuel Marquez has thus far stolen the show in the HBO Mayweather-Marquez 24/7 series. Never mind the one small blip on the series where Marquez let slip that he sometimes drinks his own pee, he has shown again and again to have more star [...]

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 Jason Kim: Oscar De La Hoya is completely sold on Juan Manuel Marquez being able to pull off an upset on September 19th against Floyd Mayweather Jr. at the Staples Center, in Los Angeles, California, saying in a Thursday conference call “I’m convinced he [Juan Manuel Marquez] will win this fight.” De La Hoya [...]

By Manuel Perez: I doubt that I’m the only one that thinks that the HBO Mayweather-Marquez 24/7 reality series is boring as heck. After being bored to tears watching Freddie Roach compete with Manny Pacquiao for air time on the Hatton-Pacquiao 24/7 last time out, I had low expectations about this one.

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 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 [...]
