By Manuel Perez: For a fighter that only fought two rounds and barely got punched a half dozen times, it seems odd that Manny Pacquiao has decided to sit out of boxing until October 17th. That’s five long months which is an extraordinary amount of time for a fighter that fought only two measly rounds.

Are Cotto And Mosley More Entertaining Fighters Than Mayweather? – Boxing
By Dave Lahr: Since the economy took a recent nosedive not too long ago it seems that the cable networks have been trying harder to get the most value for their dollar, refusing to show fighters that don’t entertain and give boxing fans their money’s worth.
Mayweather Jr. Still Sees Himself as the #1 Pound-for-Pound Fighter
By Jason Kim: Recently, I was kind of stunned to see Floyd Mayweather Jr. (39-0, 25 KOs) trying to argue his case as to why he should still be the number #1 pound-for-pound boxing star in the sport despite having been out of the sport for two years. Mayweather, 32, was coming at it from the angle that he hadn’t been beaten so therefore he should still be the number #1 star in boxing.
Was Hatton Ruined By Mayweather?
By William Mackay: Lately in the past week, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been taking credit for supposedly ruining Hatton as a fighter by knocking him out in the 10th round in their December 2007 bout. While Hatton did end up getting knocked out in the fight, it wasn’t anything close to being a particularly nasty knockout like the one that Hatton suffered in his 2nd round knockout loss to Manny Pacquiao on May 2nd.
Is Pacquiao Avoiding Mayweather?
By Manuel Perez: Up until now, Manny Pacquiao’s trainer has done a great job of making it seem as if it’s Floyd Mayweather Jr., who’s the one that will ultimately make it difficult for a future Pacquiao vs. Mayweather bout to take place.
Will Boxing Be Better Off if Marquez beats Mayweather?
By Jason Kim: Since Floyd Mayweather Jr. announced that he was coming back and fighting Juan Manuel Marquez boxing fans have had to listen to Mayweather brag endlessly about how he’s still the number #1 star, and how he’ll never let a small man beat him. Yet Mayweather has no answers for why he didn’t choose to fight someone in his own weight class like Paul Williams, Shane Mosley or Miguel Cotto.
Mosley: “Floyd, Stop Running”
By Eric Thomas: Welterweight champion Shane Mosley was interviewed on Friday night fights by Brian Kenny, and Mosley didn’t seem happy with Floyd Mayweather’s excuses for not fighting him, saying “Floyd, quit running. Stop saying I’m not a pay per view attraction. I’ve been making money longer than you. That’s probably why you came back to the sport. Now you come back to get some money. We can make money together, alright?”
The long road to legacy: Marquez Acknowledges July Fight With Mayweather Will be Difficult, But says “Nothing is Impossible”
By Amilcar Barnett: Boxers, even world champion boxers don’t often travel from Mexico to London to announce fights taking place in Las Vegas, but that is precisely what Juan Manuel ‘Dinamita’ (Dinamite) Marquez, the world lightweight champion did this week to announce his upcoming fight with the recently un-retired Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather.
Marquez Won’t Be Getting a Third Fight with Pacquiao If Juan Loses to Mayweather
By Eric Thomas: The latest word on a potential third rubber match between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez looks as if it won’t be happening if Marquez loses to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in their July 18th according to an article from the LA Times. Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum doesn’t see the value in Pacquiao fighting Marquez if Juan is beaten by Mayweather, because a loss would mean that a fight with Juan wouldn’t be a mega fight, and that is what Pacquiao is interested in at this point in his career.
Will Mayweather Jr. Be Remembered as a Cherry Picker?
By Dave Lahr: Every fighter leaves a legacy whether good or bad and many of them wish they could do things differently if they had the chance to redo their career from scratch. In the case of Floyd Mayweather Jr. (39-0, 25 KOs) I wonder if some day he might want to do the same thing with his career because Mayweather’s tendency to choose easier opponents rather than the toughest ones seem to have tainted his boxing legacy and left a lasting impression on many fans of the sport when they think of Mayweather’s name.
