Is Floyd Mayweather Jr. still the Best?

September 17, 2009

Who’s your pick this Saturday?

In case you didn’t know, the highly anticipated return of the pound for pound best fighter in the world is set on September 19 when we’ll have the Floyd Mayweather Jr. – Juan Manuel Marquez fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Yep, the king’s return to boxing is now official as Floyd Mayweather Jr. returns to the ring with an undefeated streak no one has been close to stopping.

Of course, Juan Manuel Marquez is no pushover and the fiery Mexican is looking to put an abrupt end to Marquez’ comeback.

Dubbed as ”Number One / Numero Uno,” both Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Juan Manuel Marquez are looking to win on the 19th of September to get a shot at Manny Pacquiao. Apparently, both feel that this third world joke has gone on long enough and it is about time to finally put an end to it all.

The problem is, Miguel Cotto could accomplish the deed even before any of these guys can get the opportunity to have a go at it.

The world witnessed the announcement of Floyd ”Money” Mayweather Jr. when he told everybody that he will return to the sport of boxing, putting his unblemished record on the line when he faces the dangerous five-time world champion Juan Manuel ”Dinamita” Marquez.

Marquez is 36 years old. He has won 50 fights, 37 by KO, with 4 defeats and a draw. However, as good as he’s been, there is concern that the two fights with Manny Pacquiao, and taxing scraps with Barrera, Casamayor and Diaz, have diminished the proud Mexican physically.

Probably so, but we’ve been hearing about how he’s lost his legs for awhile now. When do we stop waiting on him to call it quits and just appreciate how good he really is? You can always count on Marquez to show up 100 percent ready to fight, no matter what.

The problem is, Marquez will be taking on a monster dubbed as the best pound for pound fighter in the world. And if that can’t intimidate the Mexican, looking to stop Mayweather’s 39-0 run inside the squared circle should.

Whatever the case is, we’re in for a great fight on the 19th of September.
