The much-awaited Mayweather Marquez tickets rush has been stilled momentarily; Floyd Jr. has injured his ribs in training and the fight has now been postponed until further notice. Both fighters are said to be extremely disappointed by this, and so are boxing fans the world over. One thing is for sure; the claims that Marquez wasn’t a fit opponent for Floyd are now dashed, as it is obvious that Mayweather wants to be absolutely positive that he can do the job when the two great boxers finally go at it later this year. The fact is, Marquez’s routine has now been interrupted and he is going to have to draw out his plans. Sustaining fighting fitness is never easy, and once the exact date of the postponement is known the mighty Mexican can put his shoulder to the wheel once again.

Mayweather boxing tickets always fly off the shelves. Marquez knows he will receive a well-deserved payday when the two hit the canvass. But a postponement like this can offset many aspects of the training routine. Marquez has it in him to deliver the goods, as much as any before him, and Mayweather will be keeping one eye on the Mexican’s camp now, as the two reshuffle their priorities in time for the real thing.

Arguments now rage over the way this one will turn out. Some say that Marquez’s intelligence is going to be too much for Mayweather, and others say that the younger, faster Mayweather will destroy Marquez. One thing is for sure, this postponement will merely serve to whip up even more furore over the impending duel and that’s never a bad thing in boxing. Stay tuned for the news as it happens. This fight isn’t over and it will happen…we can’t wait till it does.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. unleashed a scathing verbal attack on Manny Pacquiao’s reputation this week, when he declared the Filipino fighter was “overrated” and that the media had played up Pac-Man’s abilities. Mayweather’s last bout, against England’s Ricky Hatton, was dubbed “Undefeated”, and it was the American fighter (39-0, with 25 Knockouts) who emerged from that scrap with his reputation intact. Hatton, on the other hand, was beaten fair and square. After Pacquiao’s recent demolition job on the Hitman, the press have clamored to report on Pacquiao’s strength and ability. Mayweather is tiring of the media love-affair.

“They forget that when I fought de la Hoya, I was in my 30s and he was in his 30s, but when I beat him—they say he was over the hill, but all of a sudden, when Pacquiao fights him, they say ‘Oh man, we can’t believe what just happened.’ Ya’ll just said he was over the hill, which one is it?”, Mayweather asked BoxingScene.com’s Mark Vester.

Mayweather also remarked on his 10th round defeat of Ricky Hatton in December 2007. Mayweather tickets sold handsomely for that fight, as they are doing now for the upcoming fight with Marquez. The “Battle of East and West” between Pacman and Hitman also sold tons of boxing tickets, but Mayweather is confident that most people would rate him higher than Pacquiao, if only the media wouldn’t insist on forcing their favorite onto the public. Manny Pacquiao smashed Hatton in the second round, but Mayweather insists that this means nothing when comparing Pacman to himself, despite the media taking it as a measure of Pacquiao’s superiority.

“I beat Ricky Hatton two years ago when he was an undefeated fighter and I dominated. He was finished after that. He was already finished before the fight with Manny Pacquiao, but Pacquiao beats him and you say he’s the best,” Floyd pointed out. He also stated that Pacquioa’s victory wouldn’t have been so resounding if Hatton had taken the advice of his trainer, Floyd Mayweather Senior.

“He didn’t listen to my father in the corner. If he did, it would have been a different fight,” Floyd Jr. said. Floyd Mayweather, Sr. trained Hatton for what was dubbed the “Battle of East and West” but it all came to nought when Hatton’s style was expertly analyzed and taken apart by the Pacquiao camp.

All this fighting talk comes ahead of the Mayweather Marquez bout in July at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and only then will we know how good Mayweather still is. The problem for Floyd Jr. is that he is in a lose-lose situation; if he destroys an in-form Marquez, everyone will say Marquez was an easy touch for a comeback fight. If he is beaten by Marquez, people will know that Floyd really did go out on a limb, but his comeback bid will be in tatters. One thing’s for sure, those Mayweather v. Marquez tickets are gonna be worth serious money once the bell rings on July 18 and two of the best fighters in the world meet in the middle of the ring…

There are people who think that this fight is a foregone conclusion – like some of the guys who’ve left comments on this website. Those people are not real boxing fans, they don’t feel the sharp anticipation in the air and the uncertainty that top-level boxing brings. The more people choose to watch this on Pay-Per-View, the better, because Mayweather v Marquez fight tickets are not gonna be easy to find come July 18, when they’re packing into the MGM Grand, to see if Mayweather can still do the trick after an absence from the ring. There will be boxing fans there simply baying for blood, and others just massively curious to see if Marquez can outfox the powerful Mayweather. Floyd claims that he has been working out some new moves while he’s been away from the fight game, including a new approach to the modern body-jabbing that has become so commonplace. Mayweather is quick to regain his arrogance of old, when he says “I am boxing”, but one man refuses to believe that, and that man is Juan Manuel Marquez.

“He seems like a nice guy, but every once in a while, his ego comes out,” Marquez observed recently. “I’ve always said that where there’s no risk, there’s no reward, so when Golden Boy asked me ‘Juan, do you want to fight Floyd?’ I immediately said ‘yes, let’s do it, no problem.’ I don’t like easy fights, and this means too much for my career and my life for me to turn it down. I don’t like to talk much outside the ring; I’d rather talk in the ring with my fists. I always prepare myself for victory – he’s not a machine, he’s a human being and we’re coming to win on July 18th.”

If you have something to say about the outcome of this fight, leave a comment here and it will be published. We publish all comments, within reason, because we encourage an open forum for discussion of the big fights, and this one is a biggie, believe me. The Hatton Pacquiao debacle was a damp squib, a nothing, a non-starter, but Mayweather v. Marquez is set to be proper fireworks. 2009 has proved to be an interesting year for boxing, with some fights’ hyperbole far outweighing the fights themselves, but we have seen some scorchers, and Marquez has certainly featured. This week, British boxer Amir Khan announced ahead of his bout with Andreas Kotelnik that he wanted to take on Hatton, Pacquiao and Mayweather – not simultaneously, we hope! The stage is now set for even more fun and games. Khan might stand a chance against Hatton, yes, but Mayweather and Pacquiao, both would eat Khan alive. Khan v. Kotelnik tickets are selling well, and Amir’s sensational statement probably hasn’t hurt that. But back to reality: Whoever wins this epic Marquez-Mayweather bout is surely gonna fight Manny Pacquiao, and that, my friends, is gonna be Roman candles all night long!

The Mayweather and Marquez fight is on, and Las Vegas is gonna be alive in July when the bell rings. There are critics who say that Mayweather’s recent two years of inactivity will leave him sorely open to attack. There are others who claim that Marquez was hand-picked by the Mayweather camp as a dead certainty for a comeback victory for their Pretty Boy. But after his recent electric interview with Brian Kenny, Floyd was adamant that this fight was no mismatch, and that he had total respect for his opponent. At the end of the day, Marquez is not a pushover, and anyone who saw his performances against Pacquiao will agree that the Mexican stamina-fiend was cheated of at least one victory. Marquez’s recent hammering of Juan Diaz convinced me that this guy is not onyl a technical match for Mayweather but that he is as fit as he’s ever been. This bout will be an intellectual challenge, as well as a physical one, and Mayweather knows that both he and Marquez have both qualities. If you saw the barrage that Diaz hit Marquez with in that last fight, you’ll know that the Mexican can take a punch. If you saw Marquez’s answer to Diaz’s best shots, then you know that Floyd will need to be both guarded and mobile for this one. Mayweather has a definite size advantage, but Marquez and his trainer Nacho Beristain are said to be working on a strategy of counterpunching. Marquez recently stated, “This battle will simultaneously be about aggression and strategy. I can either lead if he runs or box if he stands with me. Either way, it will take intelligence, speed, and technique to win this fight.”

Mayweather answered by saying, “I beat fighters mentally. And once I beat them mentally, I beat them physically so they’re never the same. Look at what happened to DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley, how many losses he had after that fight, look at what happened to Zab Judah, Angel Manfredy, Diego Corrales, may he rest in peace. Look at what happened to De La Hoya, even in the Stevie Forbes fight, he wasn’t the same. Marquez is a warrior, but when I look at him, I see a lot of scar tissue.”

Mayweather will be pushing his luck if he thinks Marquez is an attack-minded fighter who leaves himself open, though. Marquez is more like a patient predator, who possesses an uncanny ability to guage where his opponents’ energy levels are at. He has timing and sensitivity, and knows when to launch his bid, and oh, boy, does Juan Diaz know all about that!
