It seems like Juan Manuel Marquez is ready to face Floyd Mayweather right now.
"I am ready! if Floyd wants it we can fight tomorrow," said a happy Juan Manuel at the end of his training camp at the ROMANZA Gym.
Marquez is the current WBO, WBA and RING Magazine lightweight champion of the world and acording to many the number one or at least number two pound for pound fighter in the world.
"I am going to face a boxer who has a very dificult style, and a great fighter in Floyd, but I took care of bussiness in the gym, sparring with big guys that have similar style with Mayweather. We already have a game plan, and I hope to be victorious."
Juan Manuel also said that his inspiration to become a fighter and search for greatness in the sport of boxing is Julio Cesar Chavez.
