Floyd Mayweather Calls Out Juan Manuel Marquez Via Twitter

Published 08/05/2009, by Randall Stevens

Floyd Mayweather Floyd "Money" Mayweather has never been shy when verbally challenged by an opponent, and when his upcoming opponent made comments about him Wednesday (August 5), he didn't hold back either.

Juan Manuel Marquez says he is bulking up and training hard to "attack Mayweather to his body", when the two boxing superstars meet in the ring in September for Mayweather's highly anticipated comeback.

Those threats don't scary Money May though, making it clear he isn't worried about Marquez's promise to "hit him where he got hurt."

Through his official Twitter page (@MAYWEATHERMANIA), the undefeated boxer threw some shots the Mexican fighter's way in response.

"Marquez says hes goin after my ribs but there's no weakness in MONEY MAY. Only ribs he'll b diggin n2 will b at Outback after I take him down," he tweeted.

If you're unaware, their match was originally set for July 18, but was postponed when news broke that Mayweather suffered a rib injury, leaving the fight in limbo. However, shortly after, a new date was set.

Now, Mayweather versus Marquez is set to take place Saturday, September 19 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV.

Tickets for the fight, in various price ranges, are currently on sale, via MGMGrand.com or TicketMaster.com.

Or, will be available via HBO Pay-Per-View for $49.95. For Mayweather vs. Marquez fight week updates, log on to HBO.com.

Mayweather is a great fighter, but he did get hurt to the body by Castillo. He actually lost the first fight, but got a win by bad decision. Should be a good fight and yes Marquez needs to work the body. That is Mayweathers soft spot and he knows it.

LOL. Mayweather is one funny dude, but Marquez is taking this bout seriously. Watch out Money Mayweather.

when Mayweather goes into his patented defense, all dudes have to do is beat up his shoulder and his pec. that way it’ll take the power away and eventually disable it forcing him to use the other sholder. then do the same thing over again…the shit is so obvious but noone has exploited that yet…this fool is talking about going to the body, but Floyd doesn’t give up the body…i predict an “L” for Marquez

How would people want to see Mayweather fight Pacquio when Marquez beat Pacquio in their last 2 fights(Bad decisions by judges). I dont think Mayweather can beat Marquez, but if he does- what makes people think pacquio can beat Mayweather…

MAYWEATHER IS PROOF, YOU CAN TAKE THE MONKEY FROM THE JUNGLE ,BUT CANNOT TAKE THE JUNGLE FROM THE MONKEY. NO MATTERS HOW MUCH MONEY THIS PERSON MAY CLAIM,MONEY CANNOT BUY CLASS,HE IS WHAT HE IS ,JUST ANOTHER PORCH MONKEY WITH A CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER ,JUAN WILL KNOCK IT OFF ALONG WITH HIS HEAD.

If you understand boxing, how can you think Mayweather can be beaten by Pacquio, the guy who was ko’d twice, the guy with a draw, the guy who was beaten by Uncle Morales, the guy who was beaten twice by Marquez,come on guys there is no way he can do that.

@ filipino!!!- referring to PBF as a ‘porch monkey’ shows what a classless jackass you are. I don’t give a sh** what race you are, you are no better than anyone else- asshole.
