Mayweather vs. Mosley: Last Fight for Floyd?

It seems that Mayweather vs. Mosley (scheduled on May 1, at the MGM Grand Las Vegas, Nevada) is the last fight for Floyd Mayweather Jr. Not because he will be retiring after this or planned to lose against Shane Mosley but because there's no other "big names" today that could make any huge fight against him.

Since Manny Pacquiao will surely not fight him because of his Olympic style drug testing where the Filipino boxers will surely not allowed just to satisfy him. Shane Mosley at the age of 38 will surely deliver a hell of a fight for Floyd and imagine this guys, it took for 14 years of his fighting career before he decided to fight Shane.

Now right after Mosley, just in case he wins which I think he will also said when asked, there's no name right now that I could think of that will make boxing enthusiast to watch him fight. Aside from that he is growing older and there's a possibility that he will be going slow.

I hope that Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. will happen. Golden Boy and Top Rank please work this out fans are asking for it!

Mayweather in Trouble?

I've read this news from LA Times where Mayweather is currently distracted (even he did not admit it, I think he is), about a police matter involving him in a fired shot from his home. Here's the said news:

Boxer Floyd Mayweather held a media conference call Tuesday to promote his return to the ring Sept. 19 at Las Vegas' MGM Grand in a welterweight fight against Juan Manuel Marquez, but questions about two separate police cases quickly came up.

"My main thing is to focus on the fight," Mayweather said. "Anything else, I'm not worried about. I try to focus on positive things."

Las Vegas police are investigating a shooting outside a skating rink and last week seized two handguns, ammunition and two bulletproof vests from Mayweather's home and two cars. Witnesses told police that a Mayweather associate fired shots at the alleged victim, Quincey Williams, who had argued with Mayweather over a text message sent to the boxer saying he hoped Mayweather would lose his next fight, according to court records. Mayweather has not been named as a suspect, police said.

And in early August, Roger Mayweather, Floyd's uncle and trainer, was taken into custody from his Las Vegas condominium by police on suspicion of attacking a female boxer he once trained.

But Floyd Mayweather insisted Tuesday he was concentrating on the Marquez fight, not legal cases.

A six-time champion, Mayweather is 39-0 with 25 knockouts and wants to keep his record unblemished.

"It's extremely important for me to perform well and dominate," he said.

Mayweather has not fought since December 2007 when he knocked out Ricky Hatton in the 10th round, but he doesn't anticipate any ring rust.

"I feel fast and strong and the timing is there," he said. "I'm in the gym every day and I feel the same way as I felt before I left."

But that doesn't mean he'll commit himself to a future fight against Manny Pacquaio. "All roads lead to Floyd Mayweather, I don't have to chase any fighter," he said.

For now, that fighter is Marquez, who is 50-4-1 with 37 knockouts. Marquez's training includes working out in the mountains and lifting rocks and boulders.

"This isn't a rock-throwing contest," an unimpressed Mayweather said. "If you want to throw javelin, get in the Olympics. This is boxing and hand-to-hand combat. That looks good for TV, but come Sept. 19 that stuff goes out the door."

That day, Mayweather hopes the attention will veer away from legal cases to his success inside the ring.

"Jealousy just comes with success," he said "If you go read 300 articles about me, 250 of them are all saying something bad and negative. But I'm the only fighter that hasn't lost."

Well let see if he really can throw more punches compared to Marquez despite this several distractions.

My Mayweather vs. Marquez Fight Prediction

Well, the upcoming Number One/Numero Uno match of Mayweather and Marquez on September made some little buzz and some reactions from different boxing enthusiasts all over the world. They even compared the match to the upcoming fight of Pacquiao against Cotto. However, this Golden Boy Promotions event will make its own history and here's what I think about the said fight.

I think if Juan Marquez can not knocked out Mayweather, he will definitely lose on the running boxer in points. So if still got the same power and determination like the time that he fights Pacman, he got a big chance. Mayweather will have a definite hard time to TKO his opponent but he can definitely win by points. What do you think? Who will win and how?

Mayweather, Marquez vow a "tactical fight"

"Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Juan Manuel "Dinamita" Marquez said they just took the postponement of their July 18 fight in stride.

The "Numero Uno/Number One" clash has been rescheduled to September 19 after Mayweather suffered a rib injury while training.

In their media conference call, Mayweather said the postponement was actually a "good thing."

"When I was training a little while back I was pushing myself to the limit," Mayweather said in a report by FightHype.com.“When it happened, I tried to work through it. I was sparring for a while, but then it happened again."

"I said ‘You know what, I can’t try to be a superhero. I’ve got to take time off and let it heal.’ I’d never tell exactly what happened. I just had a rib injury," added Mayweather.

Marquez, meantime, commented "I was peaceful. I knew that it was just a misstep. I was ready but I remained calm."

The Mexican champ acknowledged that injuries are someetimes inevitable in any sport, especially boxing.

“Whatever happens I know this sport, you know that injuries are a big part of any sport. I just had to stay calm and now I’m getting ready again,” the Mexican said.

Both fighters are looking forward to their much-awaited mega fight that will be held at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“I’m anticipating getting back in the ring. It’s making me work so hard. I’m waking up at 4 in the morning,” noted Mayweather, who came out of retirement in May.

For Marquez, facing Mayweather can be his toughest fight to date.

“I believe this is the hardest fight of my life. I have to box intelligently,” remarked Marquez.

Marquez also had nothing but praises for the former pound-for-pound king. “I’m getting ready for the best Mayweather ever… I’m thinking of beating the best fighter in the world.”
