It looks like Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is coming out of retirement to fight Juan Manuel Marquez in July.

This should be a better fight than tomorrow's Pacquiao-Hatton, as Marquez is right there with Pacquiao, and Mayweather is much better than Hatton. In fact, if the odds were good, I might even bet on Marquez who recently knocked out Juan Diaz in an all-out war.

I don't know a ton about boxing, but does it strike anyone else as strange that Mayweather's not taking a tune-up fight first and instead going straight to Marquez after being out of the ring since December of 2007? For an undefeated fighter to come in cold against someone as good as Marquez seems awfully risky.

If Hatton were to pull the upset off over Pacquiao, and Mayweather were to beat Marquez, you'd have to think a Mayweather-Hatton rematch would be set up, this time with Floyd, Sr. training Hatton against his own son.

But I'd be awfully surprised if Pacquiao didn't roll.

Incidentally, Saturday's a pretty good day for sports watching with the fight, the Kentucky Derby, Game 7 of Bulls-Celts, the hockey playoffs and a full slate of baseball.
