Unusually quiet Mayweather focused on Marquez

Mon, Jun 8, 2009 (7 a.m.)

The usually outspoken Floyd Mayweather Jr., was much more reserved in an interview with Yahoo!'s Kevin Iole, as he reflected on is fight next month against Juan Manuel Marquez.

“I’m fighting the guy who called me out,” said Mayweather, when asked to respond to critics who say he's ducking current pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao.

“Manny Pacquiao never called me out. You never heard him say that. But I was watching on TV and I heard Marquez call me out. So I said, ‘OK, if he wants some, he can have it.’ Any one of them, whoever, they know where to find me.”
