In anticipation of the upcoming showdown between Floyd “Money” Mayweather and Juan Manual “Dinamita” Marquez on September 19 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas and live on HBO Pay-Per-View®, fans will have an unprecedented ‘first look’ opportunity to watch “Countdown to Mayweather vs. Marquez” a special behind the scenes ‘making of’ fight preview show that will begin airing nationally on Fox Sports Net.
Mark Kriegel discusses Juan Manuel Marquez with Floyd Mayweather Jr. find out why the “Money” isn’t ready to think about Manny Pacquiao.
Also tomorrow Floyd Mayweather and Roger Mayweather will host a media telephone conference call. So stay tune for that.
Is Pacquiao the best Pound for Pound over Floyd Mayweather?
You do not have to like his defensive nature but he rolls punches as well as anyone and he does his share of moving in the ring. I think JMM will take several rounds to figure his style out and that will hurt him on the cards. Also, both are natural counter punchers and if JMM comes at Floyd he will get caught like he did in the Diaz fight. Difference is Diaz comes right at you and Floyd stalks. Either way, I hope JMM wins but I doubt he will due to the size and skill of Floyd. Lets see. Personally, I do not care for the MMA but they are huge and you have to admit it.
MR. ALLEN WHO DO YOU WRITE FOR? I WANT TO READ YOUR ARTICLE. I READ MY BOXING FAN, ESPN, YAHOO AND MORE. I NEVER BLASTED EVERY WRITER ON THE PLANET. JUST THE ONES THAT SAY MAYWEATHER IS THE BEST FIGHTER, BECAUSE HE RUNS AROUND THE RING FASTER THAN EVERYBODY ELSE. YOU JUST PROVED MY POINT WITH CASTILLO FIGHT. HE REALLY WON THAT FIGHT BUT THEY GAVE IT TO MONEY BECAUSE HE RAN FASTER. WHY IS YOUR REASON THAT MONEY WILL WIN? HE DOESNT HIT HARD ENOUGH TO HURT MARQUEZ. AND ANYBODY THAT DOESNT THINK THAT MMA IS GETTING STRONGER HAS THEIR HEAD IN THE SAND.
Jaime, did you see Mayweather/Castillo I & II? Castillo did not need to KO May. too make a close fight. I had him winning the first or at least a draw and the second fight was Floyd all night. Also, who in the hell are you reading bro? Just Edgar? How many websites do you go before you blast every writer on the planet. I write and I am picking Floyd and I don’t get a penny for that opinion. You got the sport all wrong dude. Crooked Judges get paid for outcomes, writers have opinions so people like you read them.
Hey guy’s someone mention something about MMA. And its true it can neer hold a candle beside Boxing not now or ever, same goes for UFC…..
MMA is Daam rascist….They had a guy spotting a hate full Natzi Tattoo before his fight and they did nothing about it……makes me sick…..
Hey…Tijuana….Moe……Your absolutely right……!!!
Mayweather has nothing but true respect for Marquez. And that’s why he’s going too win this fight. Your going too see Mayweather at his best, especially when he respect his opponent.
Marquez has too understand he’s not moving up too fight another Diaz, he’s fighting a guy who’s going too be extremely respectful and who can fight. Marquez is going too need the kitchen sink too throw at a bigger opponent and then some too knock him out. because he’s fighting a guy who has the best defense in the game right now.
Your absolutely Right T.J. i myself don’t think Money would take that type of risk i must say i give money some credit for showing respect to JMM in his own sarcastic way He knows JMM is no joke and has the upper hand against JMM but if he looses this fight it it would be a slap in the face for him as well as his fans don’t get me wrong i my self like money but this time its JMM time to shine even though money is returning JMM has something to proof especially in that particular day and hopefully there’s no more drama surrounding May weather again so we could see a legendary Fight with out the bull sh*t.. attached.
We have to be realistic, Mayweather has a few advantages, especially the weight, I don’t like how Mayweather fights, I don’t think it entertains the fans, but it is effective for him, we have to wait and see what happens, see if Marquez looks fast and strong, I’m sure he will be strong, I really hope that Marquez will win, but we have to know that is not an easy fight at all for him, he is going up in weight to fight one of the best in the sport and I really respect Marquez for taking that risk, a risk that I think Mayweather will never take.
I just posted some new pictures of JMM. check it out he looks strong. Dont listen to me every one is title to there on opinion. just dont be hard headed.
HEY EDGAR THANX I AM GOING TO BELEIVE EVERYTHING MONEY SAYS! HA HA. NO I THINK I WILL STICK TO MY OWN EYES. BUT THANX ANYWAY.
HEY MOE I AM GLAD YOU FINALLY READ WHAT I AM SAYING. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THESE WRITERS FOR THEIR REASONS ($) ARE ALREADY SAYING THAT MARQUEZ DOESNT HAVE A CHANCE BECAUSE HE DOESNT HAVE THE SPEED TO CATCH HIM. THE ONLY CHANCE MARQUEZ HAS TO WIN IS TO KNOCK HIM OUT. YOU KNOW HE WONT GET A DECISION. THE WRITERS ARE ALREADY TAKING CARE OF THAT. I WANT SPECIFICS ON WHY EDGAR DOESNT THINK MARQUEZ DOESNT HAVE A CHANCE. BESIDES MAYWEATHER CAN RUN FASTER?
@Jaime, you should listen to Moe, Oscar lost the fight. I should be with Mayweather and Marquez very soon there having a media press conference and I will ask FLoyd what he thinks about him winning the fight against Oscar. I will record it. for you.
Hey Jaime i didn’t mean for you to take to the heart hahaha listen even if Edgar agreed with me you should know who’s who in the ring whats that all about you didn’t see the Diaz fight whats wrong with you Mr. boring don’t tell me you feel bad for what i said come bullshit aside Sep 19 Marquez will win and even if he doesn’t gets the chance to catch may weather while his running around Marquez is a bad mother f***er I think he has enough energy to chase him and win the fight even though May weather should stand toe to toe to JMM he wont i really don’t think his that stupid if anything JMM should fight pacman once more instead of Money man in fact i think Money should fight some else first like shame Mosley before JMM or Pacman what do think
HEY EDGAR IF YOU AGREE WITH MOE HOW COME YOU DONT WRITE ABOUT HOW MAYWEATHER REALLY LOST THAT FIGHT. I KNOW THAT OSCAR WON THAT FIGHT. ALL YOU WRITE ABOUT IS HOW FAST MAYWEATHER IS AND THATS WHY MARQUEZ DOESNT HAVE A CHANCE. IF MOE DOESNT SEE HOW YOU ARE BACKING THESE PREMADONAS THAN I THINK HE IS TOO BUSY EATING D**K TO READ WHAT PEOPLE ARE WRITING. HEY MOE TAKE THAT D**K OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. HA HA
Hey Edgar keep up the good work MMA cant ever compare to boxing like Flag foot ball to real football if you know what i mean as long as we have people kissing the canvas ring floor its all good… i personally like to see Knockouts then tap outs and if MMA could have more Knock outs then tap out then it would be considered Boxing The big difference between MMA and Boxing is the only time you hug is after the fight not during the fight.. I respect both sports don’t get me wrong but Boxing is and will always be the the real deal. So all you haters out there if you don’t like to write about boxing then don’t make any comments about it here! “oh yeah” and yes thank god for Pacquiao, Marquez, Diaz, and so many more to come. and who ever things this blog is boring then eat a “D**K” !!! or 2. and if its not enough you got serious problems Mr. boring!
@Moe, well said.
Every one things JMM cant beat Money man but don’t ever underestimate the heart of true Mexican warrior like JMM sure his not as strong as Money man or as fast for all “we know” but thinking about JMM is NO joke power he has speed its there and his record well it speaks for its self Money man has a great record too but less fights then JMM on record JMM is not just fighting anybody just because he likes to takes pride in being p4p one of the worlds best after this fight with JMM Money man will have to think if he is steel on top of his game like JMM even though JMM is claiming up to weigh its power what he has gain and speed too Money man made a pretty good decision waiting for JMM but it mite just bite him for feeling so over confident with a fighter who has proven the world over and over again that he has what it takes for a fight against money man hopefully this time around they count the punches right not like the fight against Oscar when Money man got hit so many-times in the body and didn’t count just because of Money man’s smirk you know that face he puts like if he didn’t fade him and the judges fall for it all the time the truth of the matter is that this time its for pride and glory not fame come Sep.19 the truth will be told and the best men will win! unless of course if they fix the point score against JMM like they have done so in the past.
@Jaime, I didn’t write about Marquez shouldn’t fight Mayweather. I’am a big fan of Marquez, he’s the only Mexican we have left.
Now, as mush as I like Marquez I don’t think he can beat Floyd. Floyd is a smart fighter he will be stupid if he brawls with Marquez.
You have to keep in mind Marquez is going up in weight and doesn’t have the speed Floyd has, but deep down I hope Marquez could pull it off.
EDGAR IM SORRY I CANT COMMENT ON THAT FIGHT I HAVNT SEEN IT YET. I WAS TOLD BY A FRIEND THAT HE THOUGHT DIAZ WON BECAUSE HE WAS THE AGRESSOR AND MALIGNAGGI RAN OR JOGGED WHICHEVER YOU PREFER. ALSO I AM NOT SURE IF YOU WERE THE WRITER THAT SAID MARQUEZ SHOULDNT EVEN FIGHT MAYWEATHER CAUSE HE DOESNT HAVE A CHANCE. THE ONLY WAY HE DOESNT HAVE A CHANCE IS IF HE CANT CATCH HIM. THE BAD THING ABOUT YOU WRITERS GIVING THESE BOXERS WHO RUN PROPS LIKE P4P BEST FIGHTER IS REALLY MAKING BOXING BORING. WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE ARE WATCHING MORE MMA? THANK GOD FOR PAQUIO BECAUSE I WOULD HATE TO THINK WHO YOU SO CALLED EXPERTS WOULD HAVE # 1 P4P.
@Jaime, writers can write whatever we want but at the end it all comes down to the fight night.
You where backing up Juan Diaz on my last article on How Golden Boy was given him all the advantages, was I wrong? are you going to tell me Juan Diaz won a unanimous decision with scores like 118-110 against Paul M.
NO MATTER WHAT THIS SO CALLED BOXING EXPERT EDGAR SAYS MARQUEZ I S GOING TO PUT A WHIP ASS ON MAYWEATHER IF HE CAN CATCH HIM FROM HIS JOG. I WAS WATCHING 24/7 ON HBO AND MARQUEZ IS WORKING WAY HARDER THAN PRETTY BOY. THESE SO CALLED EXPERTS ARE DOING MORE DAMAGE TO BOXING SAYING A BOXER DOESNT HAVE TO FIGHT ALL HE HAS TO DO IS RUN AROUND THE RING AND JAB ONCE IN A WHILE AND WIN THE FIGHT. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE EDGAR AND THAT IDIOT ON ESPN. WHEN WE GET SPORTS WRITERS THAT RIGHT ABOUT FIGHTERS INSTEAD OF JOOGGERS BOXING WILL BE BETTER OFF. MAYBE IT DOESNT PAY AS WELL HU EDGAR.
