Mayweather: "I'm Fighting Juan Because He Beat Manny"

[lcheezy]

this is classic mayweather . haters don't get you blood pressure at the point where you stroke out. you haters just want to see him lose and thats just not going to happen. and as soon as the bell rings his guaranteed check will be his regardless of the numbers on the fight.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is going back at the critics who continue to ask for a legit reason that backs his decision to fight Juan Manuel Marquez on September 19 - instead of Manny Pacuqiao, who is considered by most as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the sport. Mayweather sees Marquez as a better fighter and says the Mexican fighter already beat Pacquiao - twice. Pacquiao and Marquez fought to a controversial draw in 2004 and then Pacquiao won a close split decision over Marquez in 2008. [details]

I cannot wait until this fight tanks on PPV, just on the strength of seeing Floyd's reaction and explination.

you know this is the first time i've ever heard Mayweather give respect to his upcoming opponent.

It don't matter what Floyd thinks the judges said otherwise and so does Manny's record, that's like Pacquiao saying:

I am fighting Cotto because Castillo already beat Mayweather!!!!

Exactly...

I haven't seen one interview where Pacquiao isn't brought up or why he didn't fight him instead of Marquez.

The People are the best judges and most people agree that Marquez beat Pac twice including alot of Boxing writers. Pac is all hype, and has been matched with 3 perfect opponents to make the hype bigger! punching bag Diaz, Dehydrated DLH, and No Chin Hatton!
While Marquez solved the Casamayor puzzle, took on a young hungry Juan Diaz, and now Undefeated Mayweather! now who has had the tougher opposition since their rematch in 08?

Don't know how Floyd said that he was picking Marquez. Pac wasn't done fighting Hatton and it wasn't a sure thing that Pac was winning that fight. I do believe that Marquez did beat Pac the 1st time but the second time I gave Pac the edge (it could had gone either way).

I think Floyd will have his hands full with JMM, the postponment of the fight is letting JMM mature more into the weight. Don't know if it would make JMM stronger but he will adjust moving that weight around easier
