The highly anticipated 12-round welterweight showdown between Floyd Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez has been officially rescheduled for September 19, after Mayweather, who suffered a rib injury while training for the originally scheduled July 18 date, received clearance from his doctor to participate on the new date. Mayweather vs. Marquez: “Number One/Numero Uno,” which will still take place at MGM Grand in Las Vegas and be televised live on pay-per-view.

“I am relieved to be cleared to fight as I was already looking forward to getting back in the ring,” said Mayweather. “Trust me, September 19 is a great weekend for boxing, and all of my fans, of which there are many Mexicans too, can certainly hold on to their hats and sombreros when I get back in to the ring and show them what they have been missing these past 18 months. I will destroy Marquez and reclaim my rightful place as boxing’s pound-for-pound king all in one night. Don’t miss it.”

Marquez, who has also agreed to fight on the new date, is excited about appearing yet again on the time-honored tradition of El Grito de Independence. “I am happy that Mayweather has been cleared to fight and we can get down to business on September 19,” said Marquez. “This weekend is not just an important weekend for boxing, but even more so for all of the Mexican and Mexican-American people I will be fighting for who will have a great reason to celebrate my win over Mayweather, which will be for all of the people and for the entire country of Mexico that night. I am sure of victory and si se puede- yes we can and yes we will!”
Yea brown, I believe mayweather will win this fight. I think it’s the best fight he has taken in years. I give marquez mad respect but I see him going down in the late rounds. If he can take floyds power it will give him a real chance to win this, But thats only if he can handle mayweathers power.
I just want to say I dont care if mayweather likes to showboat, some fighters do it some dont and thats all good if thats how they like to act.
My problem with him is that he’s full of shit. He said mosely dosent bring in money , but we all know he would bring more money than marquez or juda. then he makes the excuse that shane was on roids and thats fine , but hes not on roids now. He still wont take the fight , why is that? Mosely is not the only one, what about clottey or margacheato without the plaster of course lol. Early in his career it was the same thing. I could name so many fighters he could faught not just in welterweight but lightweight aswell. Its too bad cuz he very talented. but no heart and no class Im sorry to say.
It’s all good Jay I know where your heart is in, I love this sport can watch it all day long nothing but good fights.
Every boxers has something going for them that work’s, as for show boating that Mayweather does too be honest I use too hate it but, its what has gotten him by for many years even as an amateur, the man can box’s rather we like it or not. so can many others as well,
We all need a good debate that’s what keeps it all interesting, even the arguments , we all learn something rather if we think we’re right all the time or not, because no one is.
It all Just go’s by theory, Every boxer reaches his peak and that peak has too end it makes no different who the fighter is. Some last longer others sometime dramatically end short and we just never no why.
Floyd Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez are both exceptional talents
too the sport no matter what we think about the outcome of this fight.
All this aggression on both sides of the aisle will having no comparison of the electricity this fight is going too bring.
Wish Marquez all the best, and if he wins you guys can all rub it in its all good someone has too loose, but I just don’t think its going too be Marquez, but I still have tremendous, respect.
I hear you brown and i see your point, we cant see all the fights we want. but in mayweathers case i think he could of made more of an effort. I would think that a champion as good as mayweather would want to push him self to the limit. every champion dose this not cuz they want to prove it to the crowd, but so he can prove it to himself. but then again he already thinks he’s king shit so i guess to him it dosent matter. sorry if i get a little emotional lol . I luv boxing bro and this dudes attitude is what kills him. did you see him on tv lately , he brings no class to the game .In reality I feel bad cuz noone luvs him like him lol. see ya later.
Hey Jay why don’t you tell me how you really feel……LOL
Jay I will admit and I haven’t denied it….Mayweather could have fought some more guys sure he can. So could have sugar Ray Leonard, So could have Thomas Hearns. So could have, Aaron Pryor……I could name a whole list for you if you’d like……
All when your at the top of your game, everyone wants a piece of you and you just can’t seem too please them all…….
As soon as that head come out of the sand all those vultures wants a piece of it, and you know what….Jay…..Some of flock has too be left out it just the way it is…….
what up guys,
Hey brown if floyd can beat the best welter weights out there right now ill give all the credit in the world and so would everyone else would too. 130 come on fighters of his calleber ,speed ,and power they all dominate in those lower weight classes. thats why its only natural for them to move on to welterweight unless their size prohibits them from doing so. He should just be a man and stop playing with those little guys. Yea he fought a couple good guys but none of them had any real power. Hatton is not even on his level and he knew that and delahoya finished. mayweather isnt fooling or impressing anyone with those fights, The only thing impressive about them was how much he got payed. the guy is good i dont denie it but in the boxing game you have to prove how good you are not just talk about it. he talks alot outside the ring but in the ring its like watching fucking grass grow. He wants to fight marquez im not so sure about paquiao. you know he dont want none of cotto , if he did why didnt he get a fight with him after cotto beat mosely. I’ll tell you why , cuz he wants to wait until all the top dogs beat each other up. so then he can step in and break down some wornout boxers. Its been the same thing threw out his whole career. He did it with Gatti (God bless him) and he did it with delahoya. I dont see him going after mosely or margarito. they will put a hurtin on him and he knows it. I like real champions who have class and a real heart in their chest. There’s no reason for him to retire there are plenty of good fighters he could have taken on. I said it before and i’ll say it again he’s a clown , and he got no heart.
Come on Jay……..We are going to hear nothing but excuses when Gayweather finish of your boy Marquez and Pacquaio….who are we kidding…LOL Face Reality….the guy is too good.
Step up and face some real challenges, ok so where was Pacqauio and Marquez during the time when Floyd was dominating the lighter division,
Did you guys forget what weight class he started his career at, it was at 130 wining every belt moving up in weight. so when you’ve beaten champions are we saying that’s not stepping up, what are you guys talking about….LOL
Could Mayweather had fought some more guys….yeah so what…
as I mention before in history no boxer has fought everyone including the greats, it just doesn’t happen.
You say Jay, that he doesn’t have a choice too fight these guys, well Jay
he wants to fight these guys or else he wouldn’t have come out of retirement…..LOL
hey you guys arent the only ones who want to see that fight. To be honest I would luv to see marquez do good in this bout. So good that he knocks gayweather or maypleather out cold. I know thats a bit farfetched but a man can still dream wright?. But finaly mayweather has to step up to some real challanges. marquez, paquiao, cotto, anyone of them will do just fine. If mayweather wants to make money wich we all know he does. He dosent have a choice but to fight these guys.
Don’t worry Robert……
That fight will happen. The fans demand it too.
am waiting for the pacquiao vs mayweather, in this fight we will know who is the best p4p ever, i hope that this fight will happen asap.
At least this fight is written in ink, unlike Bob Arum for Manny Pacquaio, Cotto….LOL
Theirs too much money at stake here for it not too go through. A well performance will be taken place guaranteed. You have Mayweather with speed, against a good timing counter puncher like Juan Manuel Marquez. This will still be a great fight who ever wins, the debate and criticism will still continue.
