Catching Up With … Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Published by Marcus Vanderberg on Thursday, September 3, 2009 at 10:35 pm.
In the eyes of Floyd “Money” Mayweather, “to be the man, you have to beat the man.”
And at 39-0, nobody has been able to beat the 32-year-old welterweight.
Mayweather makes his return to the ring after a nearly two-year layoff on Sept. 19 against Juan Manuel Marquez live on HBO PPV.
Marquez is no stiff himself with a 50-4-1 record.
Mayweather chatted with BET.com just two weeks before his epic return to the ring.
In the first of a three-part interview, Mayweather discusses training for the Marquez fight and when he knew it was time to return to the ring.

On training for his fight with Juan Manuel Marquez:
Training has been coming along great. Having a great training camp. I’ve had excellent sparing. Just looking forward to coming back and putting on a great show for the fans.
On if his rib injury is 100 percent:
100 percent. I had a freak accident and I gave my body a chance to heal. Come September 19th I’ll be ready to go.
On what he has seen on the tape of Marquez:
Well, everybody knows that I don’t watch film of no boxer. What I’m able to do … I have been blessed with a great talent and I’m able to adjust to anyone’s style once I step in the ring. I don’t watch no tape and I never have for any of my opponents. I leave that up to my Uncle Roger. No matter what Marquez brings to the table, we’ll be ready come September 19th.
On if his trainer Roger Mayweather has noticed anything on the tape:
No, not at all. My uncle will be able to devise a great game plan on that night and I’ll be able to go out there and execute.
On when he knew he was “ready to dance again” and return to the ring:
Actually it was the fans. It was the fans. No matter where I went the fans asked me the same question. They said ‘Floyd, when are you coming back, we truly miss you.’ I feel as though I miss my fans too. So both of those combined and I had been around the gym and I said if I’m going to be here I might as well do what I do.
