Being that guy to save boxing from third world retardation is at stake.

WBA and WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez faces the biggest and toughest fight of his career when he faces Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Yep, beating a guy like Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a tall order indeed since the guy, technically, is still the best pound for pound fighter in the world since nobody has beaten him yet. STILL, Juan Manuel Marquez is confident he will beat the undefeated pound-for-pound champion when it’s time to lace up the gloves.

Marquez has maintained that he is planning to upset the boxing world when he steps into the ring with ‘Money’ Mayweather, that’s despite the fact that he is clearly disadvantaged in the upcoming bout as Mayweather stands two inches taller with a five-inch reach advantage.

The fight is also scheduled to be fought at a catch-weight of 143 pounds, a comfortable weight for Mayweather, but less so for Marquez who is a natural super-featherweight (130 pound maximum) and has only had two fights at lightweight (135 pound maximum).

Mayweather, the former five-division champ, hasn’t stepped into the ring since knocking out Ricky Hatton in December 2007, when he was still basking in his victory over Oscar De La Hoya. Since then, he has been cashing in on his ‘’Money'’ moniker, showing up everywhere from ‘’Dancing with the Stars'’ to WrestleMania.

Marquez (50-4-1, 37 KOs) lost a slugfest by close…

Unfortunately for some of us, there won’t be skimpy skirts to stare at. Just a tennis match between two women who have bigger arms than me.

In case you didn’t get that, Venus and Serena Williams will once again play for a grand slam tennis title as the Williams sisters meet in the 2009 Wimbledon Championships final this Saturday.

Last year, the Williams sisters faced off in the Wimbledon final for the third time overall and the first time since 2003, as Venus Williams scored her first Wimbledon final win over Serena Williams to claim her fifth Wimbledon singles title.

As expected, this year’s Wimbledon futures odds have the Williams sisters as the top two favorites to win, but before the two punched their ticket to the championship game, there were several players in the draw that could’ve prevented a Williams’ sister from winning Wimbledon for the eighth time in 10 years.

One of which is Dinara Safina. Safina was seeded no.1 this year, but thanks to one of the fastest semifinal matches in Wimbledon history, the no.1 seed took an abrupt exit after Venus Williams needed only 51 minutes towards a 6-1, 6-0 win.

There’s something about Wimbledon that always brings…

Yep, it’s almost over and we reckon this dude with the biggest chin in tennis will have something to do with the tournament’s conclusion.

The final of the most grandiose grand slam tournament in tennis is near, and while we already know it’ll be an all - Williams final in the women’s division of the 2009 Wimbledon Championships, we still have no idea who’ll come out from the men’s side of things.

With defending champion Rafael Nadal out of the tournament due to his injury, five-time Wimbledon winner and world no.2 Roger Federer has a chance to resume his reign on top of tennis.

The win at Roland Garros was not only Federer’s first ever French Open crown, but it made Federer only the sixth person in history to win all four Grand Slam titles. Moreover, Federer’s all-time best record of 14 Grand Slam titles, which equaled Pete Sampras’, means that victory at Wimbledon would set a new tennis record and prove Roger Federer’s status as the most successful player in history, if not the greatest.

And in Wednesday’s quarterfinal match, Roger Federer neutralized Ivo Karlovic’s huge serves Wednesday to reach the Wimbledon semifinals and move a step closer to a record 15th Grand Slam championship.

Federer conjured up a few great returns to break…

Yes, they’re still around.

With the hot and sexy Maria Sharapova out followed by Ana Ivanovic tapping out of center court because of an injury, having the Williams sisters STILL around is really one big swift kick to the balls.

In case you didn’t get that, I don’t really expect you to. What I know is that the two huge reasons why the male population watch tennis is now long gone and there isn’t really nothing to look forward to in the 2009 Wimbledon Championships anymore but for it to be over, and soon.

For the rest of you, well, both Venus and Serena Williams are still around, each hoping for a possible Williams sisters face-off in the semifinals. Of course, they have to get rid of their respective quarterfinals matches first.

First, Serena. The younger Williams will look for revenge as she faces off with the same beyatch who kicked her ass in the final of last April’s Sony Ericsson Open in Miami, Victoria Azarenka. Serena knows that Azarenka is a good player and if there was one player with everything to lose, it would have to be her.

‘’She’s obviously a good player, and she’s really young,'’ said Serena Williams, a winner in 56 minutes over another hottie, Daniela Hantuchova in Monday’s fourth round. ‘’She has nothing to lose. It will be a really good match.'’

Older sister Venus Williams, on the other hand, was…

Yep, apparently, Arum wants to keep Pacquiao’s third world ass safe from big bad Sugar Shane.

Manny ‘’Pacman'’ Pacquiao really did it now. With the way he’s been pissing all over the tradition of boxing, one by one, the sport’s legends came out, each hoping to finally save the sport that we love from the mediocrity Pacquiao has slapped it with.

First came Oscar De La Hoya, coming out of retirement to save us from the biggest joke in boxing. Then came Ricky Hatton. But as great as both fighters have been in their careers, they were simply not the same when they fought Pacquiao, both failing to lead boxing to its salvation.

But when Floyd Mayweather Jr., the BEST POUND FOR POUND FIGHTER IN THE WORLD, came back from retirement to reclaim his spot back on the spotlight, we knew then that Pacquiao’s time as paper champion is about to come to a close.

Now, with this ‘’other'’ guy wanting to get a shot at Pacquiao’s third world ass as well, Pacquiao’s people is just determined to delay the inevitable. Apparently, ‘’Sugar'’ Shane Mosley wants Manny Pacquiao and Pacquiao’s people knows that Sugar Shane always gets what he wants. They know too that the moment Sugar Shane set his mind into kicking Pacquiao’s ass, it’s only a matter of time before Mosley does just that.

The problem is, Pacquiao’s people is getting in the…

You read it, the City of Brotherly Love, for the first time ever, will feel just how intense the ‘’brotherly love'’ inside the Octagon really is.

Yep, UFC 101: Declaration will be bringing Philadelphia its first taste of the UFC on August 8 at the Wachovia Center. And since this will be the first time Dana White will be bringing his sport on this part of the Eastern time zone, they’re bringing the big guns with them.

Highlighting the event will be the BJ Penn - Kenny Florian UFC Lightweight Championship as Penn defends his title for the second time against Florian, the number one contender.

Without a shadow of a doubt, UFC Lightweight Champion BJ Penn is the undisputed king of the division. At 35-5-1, Penn is practically on everyone’s list of best fighters in the world, pound for pound.

And I’m assuming Manny ‘’The Pacman'’ Pacquiao is NOT INCLUDED in any of these lists. (And it should be…)

Penn is undefeated at 155 pounds since 2002, beating the likes of Jens Pulver, Joe Stevenson and Sean Sherk in successive contests. Thanks to a humbling loss to Georges St-Pierre when Penn challenged GSP for his Welterweight title, Penn was shunned back to the Lightweight division much to the dismay of other fighters in the weight class.

And since BJ Penn has been simply unstoppable as a…

2-nil. Yes, that was the final score. Holy mother of God, the world has gone crazy.

In case you didn’t know, the United States just qualified for the final of the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup by doing the unthinkable, holding Spain scoreless en route to a shocking 2-nil victory.

You read it, the United States soccer team just beat a bona fide football-crazy nation, beating Spain 2-0 in the Confederations Cup semifinals. Oh yeah, Spain is not just a football-crazy country by the way, Spain IS considered as the top-ranked country in the sport and for an American soccer team to go copping their asses like that was, fucking unbelievable, to say the least.

What’s even more shocking is the fact that the Americans were ready to go back home last weekend. Nobody saw that these guys will be able to come up with probably the biggest upset in sports since that United States hockey team shocked the Soviet Union at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics.

The Americans’ win over the Spain football team enabled the Red, White and Blue to reach it’s first FIFA final since starting play in 1916. Yup, it took them that long to finally stop making a fool of themselves on that pitch.

Jozy Altidore kicked it off with a goal on the…

Apparently, that’s the latest controversy surrounding the latest grand slam tournament in tennis lately.

In case you didn’t know, the 2009 Wimbledon Championships are finally here as the top male and female tennis players in the world gather at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club to play for the third grand slam title of the season.

And as far as the latest controversy about the simulation of sex, one former Wimbledon champion, Michael Stich, is claiming that today’s female tennis players like the hot and sexy Maria Sharapova and the equally hot Maria Kirilenko are just trying to sell sex on the tennis courts.

It turns out that this Michael Stich is annoyed by the way some of the top female tennis players in the game ‘’grunts'’ whenever they hit the ball. He attacked the noises these players make on the court by suggesting to ‘’just play it back to the women. It sounds disgusting, ugly, unsexy!'’

He added by saying that, ‘’they want to look good, they pay attention to their looks and everything.'’

Three of the top female tennis players of all time; Monica Seles, Serena Williams…

And this is BEFORE kicking Clay Guida’s ass in the Ultimate Fighter Finale nobody probably saw.

In case you missed it, Diego ‘’Nightmare'’ Sanchez put on a show over the weekend, dominating the guy who already took out two Ultimate Fighter winners in the past. Clay Guida thought Sanchez would be the third Ultimate Fighter winner he takes out inside the Octagon but as it turns out, Sanchez was an entirely different animal.

It was the Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale and Diego Sanchez, together with Clay Guida, headlined the event. There wasn’t much hype surrounding last Saturday’s UFC card on Spike TV but, thanks to the Nightmare, it turned out to be one of the UFC’s best.

Diego Sanchez put on a show. Hell, he was already putting on a show the moment he began his march towards the Octagon, laying his eyes on Clay Guida like a predator on its prey. When he finally got inside the Octagon, MMA fans saw one of the most intense pre-fight staredowns ever seen inside a cage as Sanchez proved just how psychotic he can really be.

And I don’t mean that in a bad way.

After a blistering first round, (trust me, blistering wouldn’t do that round justice…) Diego Sanchez won via a…

After finally winning his very first French Open title a few weeks ago, you bet your ass he is.

Fresh off his first French Open title, Roger Federer considers himself the man to beat at the 2009 Wimbledon championships. This year’s Wimbledon will be held from June 22 to July 5, 2009 at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club as always.

And as far as Roger Federer is concerned, he says he’s looking forward to trying to claim a sixth championship. ‘’I do think I’m the favorite, actually, with all the success I’ve had,'’ Federer said.

A little cocky but judging by the way he’s been dominating the past Wimbledon tournaments, he has every reason to be. Sure, his run of five consecutive Wimbledon titles ended with a five-set loss to Rafael Nadal in last year’s final but the guy is still the winner of five of the last six Wimbledon tournaments, and betting against him will still be a very bad idea.

Federer said his back feels OK. He took a six-week break this year because it was bothering him. As for his game, Federer figures he can keep improving, particularly on grass and hard courts, ‘’when I can go for my shots more.'’

We thought Rafael Nadal would be ready for this…
