    It seems Juan Manuel Marquez's chances of winning on July 18th are even slimmer. Forget all you've heard and read about the Mexican great's bout against Floyd Mayweather Junior being a catch-weight affair being fought at 143 or 144 pounds. According to Ring Online, in a news piece that went up late last night, the fight in Las Vegas will actually be fought at welterweight, with the limit, of course, being 147 pounds.
    http://www.tsn.ca/boxing/story/?id=279260

    Mayweather paused for a moment, then added: "They say to be the best, you got to beat the best. I think they got Marquez in the dark and somebody has to give him a shot. Why not me?"
    Oh, you're fighting the best eh? Last time anyone checked Manny was the PFP#1 at 140-144.
    Marquez is #2 at 135.

    It's not a coincidence that Floyd changed his monicker from "Pretty Boy" to "Money". That's all he cares about.

    Again, if he really, really wanted to prove he was the best he would have signed to fight Manny at 143.
    To say "to be the best, you got to beat the best." is an absolute joke and a slap in the face of every boxing fan in the world - especially to Mayweather fans.
    How can he even say that when he knows full well that the BEST is Manny Pacquio?
    Please Mayweather fans, explain that to me?
    And don't give me the excuse "well, this is a tune-up fight". If that were the case then why is Floyd making speeches about 'fighting the best to be the best?'.

    This is a joke and just another job on boxing fans. Picking another great little fighter to pad his stats and wallet.

    If Mayweather wants to earn the respect of all naysayers out there, like me, he should have waited one more day to see who the winner was of Hitman and Pacquio. I don't care what anyone says. He's ducking Manny plain and simple.
    And that is now the #1 reason why I know Manny would beat Mayweather. He will not fight anyone that he feels he could lose to. It won't be until public outcry becomes so loud, or if his bank account is empty, that he'll even fathom fighting him.

    If I were a Mayweather fan I'd be pissed. Your hero is being stomped on and he's doing nothing to disprove his detractors arguments of picking fights with smaller opponents.

There's only one way to find out, and that's a fight with Manny. Floyd is stalling, this is what he does best. At the end of the day these two will fight. If they don't, it's a shame for the sport imo.

        Re: Floyd Mayweather Pretty much telling you why he's not in Fight Night

        Folks, IF he fights Manny it will solve nothing. I can already see the 'Manny was too small anyway' reasoning. Even if Manny wins, it will be 'Well Floyd was off two years'.

        This fight helps neither fighter IMO. Manny is better clearing out 140 and unifying the titles and Floyd is better off with Clottey, Mosley, or Cotto.

              Hard to say. Even though he hasn't fought in 2 years, Floyd always stayed in training because even when he was "retired," he never knew when that itch or big payday would motivate him to return.

              Also, its not like Floyd has been in battles where shots to the head made him woozy and "punchy." He's only 32, and has solid fundamental skills, especially on defense. He's not like an Ali or Roy Jones Jr. who were just superior athletically to the competition. Floyd is a superior athlete too, don't get me wrong, but he didn't rely on that.

              Floyd is a cocky dude, but one statement he made always sticks out to me. He said he never takes ANY opponent too lightly, so you won't have to worry about him brushing off Marquez as he looks ahead to a Pacquiao fight.

                I won't called Floyd the P4P champ right now ONLY because he was off over a year. That's just fair. Manny is the P4P king because of the wins he has had recently. Still does not mean I would pick him to beat Floyd.

                  Simple question bro. Yes or No.

                    Love him or hate him, PBF didn't lie once in that interview.

                    Dude is a beast and has backed it up.

                      Money has a point. PBF fans have a point as well. I for one think this will be a good fight. JMM is much much much much better than hatton. Hatton lasted 11 rounds with floyd. Castillo gave floyd problems. I think JMM will too. I dont think it will be enough to win but i think it will be a great fight.
                      Floyd doesn't want to be an ATG he just wants to retire undefeated and make some money in the process.

                      If he fights at least 4 more fights and Manny is 1 and he fights a couple more top notch contenders then he will be an ATG.

                        PGF isn't the best P4P boxer. So he lied.

                          In the first Castillo fight, as much as a PBF fan I am, if you said he lost I couldn't argue cuz that was a great fight. You must not have known or seen that FLOYD DESTROYED CASTILLO IN THEIR SECOND FIGHT, so your comment in bold is way off. Now for your underlined comment. #1. Manny is a smaller fighter like JMM! But PBF is the same size and weight (he did start at 130) so he's been fighting bigger opponents. Check the weight limits of his fights and then check his unofficial weight the night of the fight. His fighting weight is always close to his natural fighting weight, meaning he has been the smaller fighter in most of his fights above 140. #2. Boxing fans can argue JMM beat Manny twice. So obviously JMM is not a weak opponent to fight coming off a layoff.

                          "While Manny was getting knocked out, I was dominating" -thats why I love PBF hahahahaha

                            Who beat Lil' Floyd? Excatly...So he does have a case. But as a knowledgeable boxing fan, it is Manny right now.

                              If i am not mistaken, didn't Manny fight the same two guys that Floyd did? So now all of the sudden he is worlds better than Floyd? Doesn't make sense to me.

                                He ISN'T the best P4P fighter RIGHT NOW. He has to prove himself once again. THAT'S HOW IT WORKS IN BOXING.

                                I NEVER said Pacman was better than PGF. All I said was he ISN'T the best P4P fighter anymore, he WAS before he retired. Get over it. Jesus.
