Crash Course: Mayweather-MarquezEverything you need to know about this weekend's big fight. Overview

Former welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr., who retired as boxing's mythical pound-for-pound titlist in 2007, is fighting current lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez at a catchweight of 144 pounds on Saturday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas (9 p.m. ET, HBO PPV).
Since the 32-year-old Mayweather left the sport after an impressive 10th-round knockout of Ricky Hatton in December 2007, junior welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao has inherited the pound-for-pound mantle with a string of electric victories over Marquez, Oscar De La Hoya and Hatton. Since Mayweather never lost that title in the ring, he says it still belongs to him. The prospect of a Mayweather-Pacquiao megafight -- perhaps for early 2010 -- looms over Saturday's fight.
Marquez, the world's No. 2 pound-for-pound fighter according to The Ring magazine, has collected titles at featherweight, super featherweight and lightweight -- becoming the fourth Mexican boxer to earn titles in three different weight classes after Julio Cesar Chavez, Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales. But the durable veteran is perhaps best known for two fights he didn't win: a draw and a split-decision loss in two thrilling fights with Pacquiao -- fights many observers think Marquez won.
Mayweather's decision to quit boxing may have been the least convincing retirement in sports history. No one was surprised when Floyd came back. But the decision to fight Marquez instead of Pacquiao took many observers by surprise.
When two champions from different weight classes enter the ring, the heavier man typically wins. Mayweather is bigger, stronger and faster -- a brilliant defensive mastermind who's never been in trouble in any fight. Many observers have dismissed Saturday's fight as a mismatch, looking ahead to a Pacquiao showdown. But Marquez is a crafty, shrewd counter-puncher capable of spoiling those
 
kwa washabiki wa ngumi wenzangu naona hapa tutegemee mpambano mkali.mie sasa hivi nimemchoka mayweather kushinda nataka achapwe hili msisimuko wa ngumi uendelee.manake jamaa anachonga na pia yuko fit.
mayweather 39-0-0 (25KO) MARQUEZ (50-4-1) (37K0) Hii record hapa nategemea pambano litakuwa kali.
 
Pambano litakuwa kali kweli kweli .... mimi bado niko upande wa Mayweather!!Ila Marquez anafanya tizi kweli kweli na mkakati wake sasa hivi ni kucopy style ya Mayweather akiimudu kazi ipo .... Bila kusahau anakunywa kweli mkojo wake,anadai unamjenga mwili
 
.... Bila kusahau anakunywa kweli mkojo wake,anadai unamjenga mwili
hivi hii issue kweli au jamaa miyeyusho kwamba anakunywa mkojo wake? lol.labda mayweather ashinde hili tupate kuona pambano lake na pacman au unasemaje mkuu? mie namkubali mayweather sema jamaa anachonga sana ndio hapo alipokuja kuumbuka roy jones jr.
 
Hili pambano naliona kama zawadi yangu ya Eid! Its going to be 'Money' Mayweather on points as I know Marquez, like all other Mexican Fighters, is a durable customer and Floyd wont have enough power to knock him out. Kama utakumbuka, against Pacquiao, Marquez was knocked down three 3 times in the first round but he still managed to finish the fight and deservedly earning himself a draw, kuna watu wengine hadi leo hii wanaamini kuwa alishinda!
 
I am dying to see Mayweather "money" fighting Manny after this one!!!

LAS VEGAS – Floyd Mayweather Jr. made the contracted weight of 147 pounds for his HBO Pay-Per-View fight on Saturday with Juan Manuel Marquez at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.


But when Mayweather weighed 146 pounds at Friday’s weigh-in, he was forced to pay a six-figure penalty to Marquez for coming in at more than 144 pounds, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer said.


Schaefer said the contract the fighters signed in May was for the bout to be at a limit of 147 pounds. But in that contract, each man agreed to a substantial penalty clause for every pound, or fraction thereof, more than 144.

Lets wait and see, i am just worried if Floyd has done good prep, he looks relaxed and i translate it into arrogance
 
Hobbie nyingine zinatucost, you wont believe hapa UK ni saa 11 kasoro asubuhi, sijalala! Nimecheck match of the day, nikakamata movie kidogo, ngumi zikaanza, hapo ni baada ya kupiga box for 12 hours!
 
mkuu tupo wengi, nimeamka kumi alfajiri. Its a good fight though... Worth waiting for
 
poleni sana wakuu.ebwana huyu mayweather simchezo jamaa ana akili sana na yuko too fast for other fighters.
 
he is quick... Anachapa speed ya ajabu. He reminds me of the move snake in the monkey shadown,... Hasa namna anavyo swing his heaD

I like what the pundit says 'YOU CANT TEACH SPEED' ONLY BOXING SKILLS CAN BE TAUGHT
 
This is such a terrible mismatch, Marquez anapewa shule ya boxing hapa, hii guard ya Mayweather inatisha, hata maji hayapiti hapo!
 
Sasa mpambano wa karne utakua Mayweather vs mshindi wa Cotto vs Pacquiao au Shane Mosley. I have enjoyed the show, it was all about one man-Floyd Mayweather.
 
Ha ha ha ha ha Amazing performance.....He is baaaaaaack! ***** * Shane Mosley
