I like them both very much and am hard pressed to pick a winner. I'll be pulling slightly for Hatton, but if I had to bet, I'd pick Pacquio. Who ever wins it should be by knock out!
Even bigger news:
Mayweather-Marquez is on!

On July 18, Floyd “Mainstream Money” Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez meet on a PPV card billed as “Number One/Numero Uno” at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The bout was officially announced today. “Credentials don’t lie and the record speaks for itself,” said Mayweather. “When it comes to July 18, I don’t need to tell you what I’m going to do. A small man will never retire me. I’m here to stay. I’m here to fight and reclaim what’s mine. I’m the king and nobody has taken my throne. Tonight, any man can win. Its a gamble. But when you are betting on Floyd, that’s for sure money. Keep your money under your mattress until July 18.” Marquez countered, “If I want to be the best fighter in the world and I need to beat the best. The best fighter is Floyd Mayweather. This fight is for who is the #1 fighter in the world.” Promoter Oscar de la Hoya commented “Can we believe that now the bigger man is always going to win? When I fought Floyd it was competitive. When I fought Manny he stopped me. When Juan fought Manny - I don’t care what they say - Juan beat him. So I believe Juan can beat Mayweather. Marquez can never be counted out.” Mayweather manager Leonard Ellerbe proclaimed “The king is back! Floyd has truly transcended the sport. Wherever he goes - the malls, the grocery stores, even the strip clubs - they all ask ‘when is Floyd coming back?.’”

Manny crushed Hatton with a counter left hook on the chin that had him still out well after the stoppage in round 2.

I guess when you want to see someone get beat bad enough your comon sense gets clouded!! Thought I'd take a break from this 6 page essay I'm writting to see if anyone was talking about the fight. Between work, running the boxing academy and school I don't have the time to get on here much any more. I picked Pacquio to win, I didn't see it ending so Quickly though. I think Hatton's abuse of his body has finally caught up to him. Floyd and Juan Marquez who is one of my favorite fighters should be a great fight if they meet at 140. I still haven't heard what weight they have agreed to fight at? If it's at 147 Juan could be in some trouble as he is best at 135. Casey have you heard what weight they are fighting at? Carey thanks for thinking of me!! |

Ring Rust Mayweather shakes it off and wins at 140...Like you said Mark if that's the weight they meet.

Mark,
They didn't mention the weight, but I don't thing Floyd would come back down. At 135 or even 140, I think Marquez may have a chance. I heard there may be a catch weight.
I don't think he can win at 147.
Hope all is well with you and to see you soon. Going to Tahoe?

Also, I'm with you on Floyd getting his ass kicked, just don't see anyone who can do it. Maybe Mosley?? A big maybe...Pacquio. Or Margarito if his hands are wrapped the right way.
