Mayweather ready to go for title fight

MANILA, Philippines – Five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather traded barbs with upcoming opponent Marcos Maidana of Argentina ahead of their welterweight title unification bout in Las Vegas on May 3rd. Mayweather, who has a 45-0 record with 26 knockouts, is widely regarded as one of the best defensive fighters of all time, while slugger Maidana is known for his all-around skill and blistering power. Mayweather, who outboxed Saul “Canelo” Alvarezs in his most recent fight in September, praised Maidana for his skills in the ring while cautioning his opponent that his best was yet to come. -- Mornings @ ANC, May 1, 2014.
