NEW YORK—When Floyd Mayweather Jr. walked away from boxing, he was widely considered the pound-for-pound king, the mythical mantle bestowed upon the best in the game.
Now that he’s back, at least one person believes Mayweather still is: lightweight champ Juan Manual Marquez, whom he’ll face in his highly anticipated return.
“I’m expecting the best Floyd Mayweather ever,” Marquez said at a news conference on the 80th floor of the Empire State Building to help launch the fight. “I’m putting in my mind that he never retired, so I’m expecting the best.”
The two will meet July 18 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas at a catch-weight of about 143 pounds.
