Mayweather: "Marquez Called Me Out, Pacquiao Didn't"

link --> Mayweather: "Marquez Called Me Out, Pacquiao Didn't

Floyd Mayweather Jr. claims the only reason he returned to the ring with a fight against Juan Manuel Marquez, instead of Manny Pacquiao, is because Marquez called him out on live television. A familiar response from Floyd. He said the same thing back in 2007, when Ricky Hatton called him out on live televsion and Mayweather, also retired at the time, returned to stop Hatton and then went back into retirement. Mayweather presented his case to scribe Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports.

“I’m fighting the guy who called me out,” Mayweather said. “Manny Pacquiao never called me out. You never heard him say that. But I was watching on TV and I heard Marquez call me out. So I said, ‘OK, if he wants some, he can have it.’ Any one of them, whoever, they know where to find me.”

Mayweather appears to be annoyed with the critics who continue to call his bout with Marquez a "physical mismatch." He told Iole that De La Hoya did the same thing in 2000 when he made Shane Mosley go from lightweight to welterweight, and then Oscar did a repeat last December when he made Pacquiao go from lightweight to welterweight. Mayweather and Marquez will clash at a catch-weight of 144-pounds.

“Why, if it’s good for Oscar, isn’t it good for me?” Mayweather asks.

“Marquez is one of the best fighters in the world. A lot of people, including me and including a lot of you in the media, think he beat Manny Pacquiao in both of them fights. So why do I have to hear this? It’s ridiculous.”

Mayweather may have his critics for fighting Marquez but I am not one of them. IMO JMM beat Pac at least one of the two times they fought. If this is a "physical mismatch" with JMM, it will also be the same with Pac. Pac has beaten no one that Marquez would not have beaten as well. David Diaz, Oscar, Hatton, JMM beats them all. He might not KO Hatton as quick because he is a different type fighter but he would beat him by stopping him late or by decision. Marquez is actually fighting the better competition. Juan Diaz is a better lightweight than David Diaz and Floyd is much better at this stage than the other two mentioned above that Pac has fought. Floyd is actually pound for pound the best but because of inactivity Pac has the crown at the moment. So, you tell me who is letting it all hangout and is actually taking the tougher challenges? That would JMM!! Roach was smart to pick Marque names tailor made for the Pacman. Although Pac is talented, I by no means think he is any better all around fighter than Marquez. The only thing is Marquez's days are numbered as he isn't getting any younger.

Props to JMM for pursuing a very tough fight that I think he only have a 0.01% chance of winning... This is an unfair fight, a mismatch, a tune-up fight... Floyd enjoyed all the physical advantages over JMM that PBF is a heavy 4 to 1 favorite to defeat JMM...

same thing should be said for Mayweather/PAC, for all the reason stated above, but oh yea, although not even 2 years difference in age, Pacquiao has the "advantage" in "youth/age"

Tell me who is older, PAC or PBF?? also PAC could be the underdog against PBF but not a heavy 4 to 1 underdog like JMM... But we will go into that when PAC vs. PBF is ever get made...

Back to PBF-JMM unfair, mismatch, tune-up fight...

Some of you guys on here amaze me. Unfair, tuneup? ONE MORE TIME!! Pac got a very questionable decision over JMM and a draw, he is not much better as a fighter than JMM, if any! So, again, if Floyd/JMM is a mismatch then PAC/FLoyd would be considered one as well.

Dont hate on Pual Williams cause u can dance around the fact an duck an hide all the real fights u want.But the fact of the matter is,is when Margarita an Williams was challenging, calln out,Put big money up,whatever u wanna call it.Floyd was dancen wit the stars..Now chuckle that up..An on top of that he conveniently,comes outta retirement when one Paul Williams moved up an two Margarita is suspended.Now i didnt think u could just fight whoever challenges u or u want an be Champion or P4P..Or why do we have rankings?Just let everybody retire when a tough fighter is in front or back..An then chose who they wanna fight.Do u know how insane that sounds,How crazy would boxing be then.Everyone would be undefeated an P4P.But boxing dont work like that we have rankings i think Floyd should use it.Paul Williams only moved up becuase no one..I mean no one would fight him period.Shane was quite,Floyd Dancen,Margarita declined a rematch.I got a predicton Floyd fans..I bet he fights Marquez,a smaller guy wins at 144.An then get the fight he really wants PAC,another smaller guy at some weight below 147 win an retire.Wit the usual trash talk an all the wagon riders claimen he the best.Well i think not He's a paper champion wanna shut me up fhight the best in ur weight class.Williams has no problem moven down.An finally lets just say the smaller Marquez did call Floyd out.When will we see the smaller Money May call out a bigger opponent,or even someone his size?Im out yo.....
