FanHouse JuanManuelMarquez

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Floyd Mayweather has been cleared by doctors to fight Juan Manuel Marquez on Sept. 19 at the MGM Grand.

The flamboyant former pound-for-pound king was scheduled to fight Marquez next month at the MGM Grand, but his return from a brief retirement was postponed after he injured a rib training.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has announced that he suffered a rib injury in training camp and will postpone his highly anticipated July 18 comeback fight against Juan Manuel Marquez.

"I am extremely disappointed that this fight has to be postponed," Mayweather said in a statement released by Golden Boy Promotions. "I was training very hard and looking forward to getting back in the ring on July 18th."

Both Mayweather and Marquez indicated that they expect to reschedule the fight as soon as Mayweather is healthy enough to resume training. No timeframe has been set.

Floyd Mayweather got feisty this week when Brian Kenny suggested to him that Manny Pacquiao had taken the title of No. 1 pound-for-pound boxer in the world away from him. But In an interview on British television, Mayweather said he's fine with it.

Every boxing fan in the world wants to see Floyd Mayweather fight Manny Pacquiao. But Mayweather, who will fight Juan Manuel Marquez on July 18, says he doesn't need to make that fight.

After Manny Pacquiao destroyed Ricky Hatton on Saturday night, most of the post-fight talk centered on the likelihood of Pacquiao fighting the winner of the July 18 fight between Floyd Mayweather and Juan Manuel Marquez. But Shane Mosley, the top welterweight in the world, thinks he should be Pacquiao's next opponent.

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Floyd Mayweather Jr. is back, ending his brief retirement from boxing.

The undefeated five-division champion plans to announce Saturday his return to the sport with a July fight against WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez, a person close to the fight confirmed Friday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the fight hadn't been officially announced.

When Floyd Mayweather Jr. walked away from boxing last year, retiring undefeated at the age of 31, everyone assumed it would just be a matter of time before he announced he was returning.

So far, that announcement hasn't come. But a new report is giving boxing fans some hope that Mayweather, who at the time of his retirement was widely viewed as the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, is finally getting ready to come out of retirement and get back into the ring, possibly to face the winner of the upcoming superfight between Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton.
