In an effort to avoid facing trial on felony battery and other charges, Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. pleaded guilty in Las Vegas last week to a misdemeanor domestic battery charge stemming from a September 2010 incident involving his former live-in girlfriend and the mother of his children, Josie Harris.

ESPN has just released that Floyd Mayweather Jr has agreed to return to the ring July 18 to fight Juan Manuel Marquez. Not much has been said about it. There will be a 11 a.m. press conference will be held tommorow morning to announce the fight. Floyd has taken a good tune up fight. It hasn't been said as to whether the fight will be fought at 140 or 147 pounds. It will more than likely be fought at 147. The real prize will be whoever wins the upcoming Ricky Hatton vs Manny Pacquiao fight. The winner will have a date with the winner of Mayweather or Marquez. That fight will probably be in December. Pretty Boy, go get your throne back.

Is the Pretty Boy set to return to the ring?



Rumors are flying about Floyd Mayweather Jr return to boxing
By:Jarred Powell


In the past couple weeks, talks have increased about the return of Floyd Mayweather Jr. returning to fight. Mayweather retired after his 10th round knockout of Ricky Hatton on Dec. 8, 2007. In fairness to the Pretty Boy, he left on his own terms. he said he had made enough money and he didn't want to fight anymore. In retirement, he appeared in Wrestlemania, where he fought the Big Show. He made 3 million alone for that appearance. Floyd, why come back now. You could have fought Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito, or Paul Williams. You ran because there weren't any big times fights in the division. You could have fought Antonio Margarito, Paul Williams, Miguel Cotto or Sugar Shane Mosley. The latter two could have been lucrative for you. In truth boxing has been missing a hero. Someone we all like to see fight love him or hate him. Manny Pacquiao was crowned the pound for pound champion by default. Mayweather vs Pacquiao would be a megafight. Something that boxing has been missing. For this to happen, Mayweather should come back and fight a tune up fight against a lesser opponent and Pacquiao has to beat Ricky Hatton. Then we can set our sights for Mayweather/Pacquiao.
