Marquez VS Mayweather - Reclaim my Place

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a five-time world champion and an Olympic Bronze Medalist. Over the last few years of his career, he was widely recognized as the best boxer, pound-for-pound, in the world. Mayweather comes from a prominent boxing family, which includes his father Floyd Sr. and uncles Jeff and Roger, who was a world champion in two weight classes.

Mayweather lost to Augie Sanchez in the 1996 U.S. Olympic Trials, but defeated Sanchez twice in the Box-offs to earn a spot on the Olympic Team. He turned pro after the Olympics, achieving much early success. He got a title shot at the age of 21 against WBC Super Featherweight Champion Genaro Hernandez, who had lost only once in 40 fights. Mayweather dominated the fight before Hernandez's corner conceded defeat after six rounds. Mayweather fought Angel Manfredy just two months later in a high-profile bout, which Mayweather won by a second-round TKO. After defending his belt four more times, Mayweather was matched with the undefeated Diego Corrales. Mayweather dominated the entire fight, knocking down Corrales five times before the latter's father stop the contest.

After two more title defenses, Mayweather moved up in weight and fought WBC Lightweight Champion Jose Luis Castillo, a veteran of many battles, including a win and a draw against the crafty Stevie Johnston. Mayweather, fighting with an injured shoulder, won by a controversial unanimous decision. A rematch was immediately scheduled to end the dispute, which Mayweather won by a clear unanimous decision. Wins against Victoriano Sosa, Phillip N'dou, and DeMarcus Corley followed.

Mayweather then had what some termed a "superfight" with the popular but limited WBC Super Light Champion Arturo Gatti. Gatti had beaten a number of high profile opponents, including Leonard Dorin, Micky Ward, and Jesse James Leija, but he had failed to face any of the top fighters in the division. On June 25, 2005, Mayweather beat Gatti to become a three-division champion. However, Mayweather's claim to the world 140-pound championship was tenuous at best, given that he failed to face the universally-recognized legitimate champion, Ricky Hatton.

On April 8, 2006, Mayweather won the IBF Welterweight Championship with a unanimous decision over Zab Judah. The win garnered Mayweather his fourth world championship in four weight classes. However, once again his claim to the title was considered spurious by most, given that the linear title ran through Carlos Manuel Baldomir, who defeated Judah in his previous fight. On November 4, 2006, Mayweather earned an easy decision victory over Baldomir, shutting him out on two of the three scorecards.

On May 5, 2007, Mayweather defeated WBC Super Welterweight Champion Oscar De La Hoya by a split decision to become a world champion in five different weight classes. After the fight, Mayweather announced that he was retiring, but on Dec 8, 2007, he fought Ricky Hatton, retaining his WBC Welterweight Championship by a tenth-round TKO. Mayweather landed a left hook to Hatton's jaw early in the 10th that sent the challenger down. Hatton bravely got up but was quickly knocked back down, and the fight was called off. Mayweather was ahead 88-82, 89-81, and 89-81 at the time of the stoppage.

It appeared that Mayweather was going to have a rematch with De La Hoya on September 20, 2008, but Mayweather announced his retirement on June 6, 2008.

On May 2, 2009, Mayweather announced his intentions to return to the ring and fight Juan Manuel Marquez in July 2009.

GAYweather is #2 P4P!!!! Did you hear that? Hahahaahha

[BlackOwnedDollars]

@PlayStationEnt Besides, he didnt agree to take the test. If he did than why did Bob Arum, Manny's promoter call the fight off? If you dont believe me that he called it off, look on youtube for ESPN's Brian Kenny reporting that the fight was called off. It seems to me that Mannys camp has the excuses. Floyd agreed to 8oz gloves, 10 mil for every pound he's over and the nevada state blood testing rather than Olympic style and then they said Mannys afraid of needles.

2 Kings 1 Queen.

[BlackOwnedDollars]

@IKNOWABITOFEVERYTHIN No he is not a "boxer" He has one style which is punch until you win. Floyd is a boxer. Ali is the greatest sports entity that the world had seen at that point because he spoke his mind. Ali noted that SRR and Rocky Marciano were better than him. Many guys root for Floyd, im not going to name them im not really for it plus its irrelevant. In terms of opponents, Manny's opponents all have something wrong with them. No new big names. All past their prime or washed up

[IKNOWABITOFEVERYTHIN]

@BlackOwnedDollars . yeah . but look at freddie . they make fun of him . floyd , mayweather sr. , margarito. but felt sorry cause they got destroyed. so youre calling ali not the greatest . he is., even ali , leonard , robinson , wright . all of them go for pacquaio isnt that what you call a good boxer. thats a great boxer ! sadly for floyd . he only got 50 cent. even that devlish bitch jay-z go for manny. THE BEST P4P champ IN THE WORLD

[BlackOwnedDollars]

@IKNOWABITOFEVERYTHIN Yeah but look at all those guys. Ali, has Parkinson. Frazier damn near lost his eye. Holyfield fought for money and can barely even talk. While Foreman and Roy are the only ones i say recovered and still does well. Ali were Floyd are in the same boat. Difference is as soon as Ali became humbled by his disease then they started to love him. I can only go my opinion. He is a good slugger but nowhere near good Boxer like Floyd is.

[IKNOWABITOFEVERYTHIN]

@BlackOwnedDollars - floyd is always a great boxer - nobodys denying that. but the point is. his attitude, you cannot came close to manny by that attitude . a racist , trashtalker .. but nowhere near the talent of floyd ? wow, thats why manny is the#1 champ ( ali , roy jones , hloyfield , frazier, foreman all of them trashtalks but they fought the best in that era w/0 thinking of money. PURE ENTERTAINMENT.thats what boxing is bout.

[BlackOwnedDollars]

@IKNOWABITOFEVERYTHIN Yeah, i agree with the first two. Yet whether they love or hate him has nothing to do with anything. Fact of the matter is they buy his fights to see him lose. I only acknowledge Manny having more fans because he is a viewer friendly boxer. They push him out to bring back fans from MMA so they can watch boxing again because they feel like their losing to the sport. Manny is nowhere near the talent level of Floyd but most people dont see that

[IKNOWABITOFEVERYTHIN]

@BlackOwnedDollars i wonder why manny has more fans than floyd.its 3 reasons why floyd have more PPV than manny

1) he has more haters (they want to see his ass whipped)

2)they want to see a beating (ofcourse they will-fighting boxers out of their prime and fightting b-class fighters

3)hes american( im sure you know what i mean by that- he lives in america)but even americans hate himfor being racy and a trashtalker

[BlackOwnedDollars]

@IKNOWABITOFEVERYTHIN We're talking PEDS. Using a catchweight in how they used it was different in comparison to now. It was used to get a reasonable middle ground weight for each fighter. Draining like they did for Cotto, Oscar and other fighters only benefits Manny. No Floyd demanded 100 million for a multi deal fight through Don King. and a 60-40 split is a good one because people dont pay to see Manny like they do for Floyd.

[IKNOWABITOFEVERYTHIN]

marquez vs. manny was like ward vsgatti

[IKNOWABITOFEVERYTHIN]

@BlackOwnedDollars . yes. but arent we talkin bout roids ? a urine is accurate.manny did sign the contract .they give gayweather 1 week to negotiate.he did not respond. drained fighters ? catch weight is used by many legends .and they wouldnt sign a contract if they know they wont have a chance of winning.. and on an interview . floyd demanded $100 mil. and 60-40 cut of purse, he said that cause he knows he wont get it .the money had to be right-pacquiao will just donate it to his charity
