Khan: Pacquiao is a real man, Mayweather still running
But according to his conditioning coach Angel Heredia, Marquez is looking to fight at least two more.
Mayweather Jr officially confirmed his retirement after the victory over Andre Berto that took his record to 49-0 – but his father had already suggested he would fight on in a bid to better Rocky Marciano’s record.
“A lot of fans buy Floyd’s fights to see him lose, and when Floyd beat Manny, a lot of that hope went out the window”, Espinoza said Saturday. I would walk away because ain’t nothing prove.
But don’t plan on a rematch with Mayweather.
“Whether there is a second (bout with Mayweather), it’s not a problem”, Pacquiao told the Associated Press Wednesday. In a lengthy conversation with the New Standard/boxingmirror.com Ariza said that we talked and he is adamant about retiring and taking care of his kids pointing out that Mayweather has been 19 years in the boxing business and I dont know what is left out there for him to do, whats going to motivate him..
Is this the end of the Mayweather machine? However, just days leading up to the fight, numerous reports suggested that the attendance would fall well short of Mayweather’s previous fight, while also revealing that a huge chunk of tickets were still up for grabs. He is set to fight once more next month, this time against Viktor Postol. Rafael reminds readers that the WBO quickly stripped Mayweather of championship distinction after the Pacquiao fight (elevating Timothy Bradley to full titlist), but the WBC and WBA are slyly skirting their own rules in deference to Floyd Mayweather.
The names of Amir Khan, Kell Brook, Terence Crawford and Lucas Matthysse were floated as possible opponents for Pacquiao.
The 8-division champion will comply with the conditions, getting the MRI in his the Philippines and sending the results to the surgeon who performed the operation on his shoulder. McCarter has won two of their three fights.
That negative reaction carried over into Mayweather’s next fight, Berto believes.
Mayweather, as expected, threw more jabs than Berto, connecting with 83 of 191 jabs thrown (nearly 45%), while Berto managed to connect with a paltry total of 39 of 301 jabs thrown (about 13%), once again highlighting the impregnable defensive guard of Mayweather.
