Boxing fans only have a couple of weeks to wait now, until the eagerly anticipated fight between five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Mexican boxer Juan Manuel Marquez, takes place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
And according to skysports.com, Mayweather, who hasn’t been in the ring since flooring Ricky Hatton back in December 2007, has apparently said that it is the chance to extend his unbeaten record and his boxing legacy that is his driving force.
The fight against Marquez, which takes place on September 19th, will mark Mayweather’s return to the ring after his two-year retirement. The 32-year old boxer says that protecting his record and maintaining his legacy were reasons to take the fight.
In a recent conference call, Mayweather said that it is really important for him to go out there and give a great performance. He also claimed that he doesn’t think the two-year layoff will affect him. But he is up against a tough opponent.
Who do you predict is going to win the fight?
