As reported before last Saturday's big fight, Floyd Mayweather Jr. announced his return to the ring. He will face lightweight champ and No.2 Pound for Pound Juan Manuel Marquez.
The fight is schedule to take place July 18th. With the winner most likely facing Pacquiao, this fight will be looked at as a stepping stone for Mayweather. Given Pacquiao's destruction of Hatton, many fans will be clamoring for an immediate fight. However, I am pleased that Mayweather is taking on a tough challenge in his first fight back. Remember, Marquez gave Pacquiao trouble in their two encounters. And although they are recognized as a draw and a lost split decision, Juan believes that he won both fights.
With either Pacquiao-Marquez III or Pacquiao-Mayweather in the battle for the P4P crown as the outcome, this is a fight not to be missed.
