Floyd Mayweather Jr. Officially ‘Unretires’

Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. officially announced his expected unretirement and upcoming fight plans yesterday before the Manny Pacquiao/Ricky Hatton debacle fight. Floyd will put his 39-0 record on the line when he faces dangerous five-time world champion Juan Manuel “Dinamita” Marquez (50-4-1, 37 KO’s) in Mayweather vs. Marquez “Number One/Numero Uno” on July 18 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The event will be broadcast live on HBO PPV.

I’m already excited for this one. As I mentioned in my Pacquaio/Hatton post, Floyd will have his hands full with Juan. Everyone wants to see a Pacquaio/Mayweather showdown, but it’s all pending the results of this fight, which could, in itself, become an instant classic because both these guys are future Hall of Famers.
