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 total that’s in the same ballpark as Kevin’s number.
Mayweather vs. Marquez
Making a case for Mayweather Jr.
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 Mayweather was warranted.
The Great Character Divide
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 to Mayweather, men that have shown integrity both in and out of the ring, fighting the best out there whenever the opportunity presents itself and making no excuses.
Santiago’s Pound for Pound Rankings and Boxing Predictions
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?

Mayweather-Marquez Fight: Five things we learned
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 young and is gifted with natural fighting ability. Other fighters had come back from retirement and made impressive wins. One good example is when Sugar Ray Leonard came out of retirement to win over the Marvin Hagler.

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.

Mayweather: “I’m Never Going to Win”
By Jason Kim: A slightly despondent Floyd Mayweather Jr. mopped about not getting the love and credit that he thought was due to him at a post-fight press conference following his lopsided 12-round unanimous decision victory over Juan Manuel Marquez on Saturday night at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Mayweather Proves he Can beat a Lightweight
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.
Kellerman and Mosley crash Mayweather’s Victory Party
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 Vegas, Nevada, HBO interviewer pulled a couple of surprises on Mayweather when he brought Shane Mosley into the picture.
