In your opinion?
I wasn't following things to closely at that time but it seems like I heard something about a rematch and some people saying that Floyd retired so he wouldn't have to fight Oscar again. Help me out here.
Everyone should know the real answer to this is money. How quicly people forget. Floyd won the fight and Oscar was still trying to pay him like he pays everyone else. Floyd wasnt going for that after he won and definitely not after all the exposure he got from that fight. He felt that his name now will be just as big as Oscar's so why take all that chump change for a rematch when he could fight someone else and make way more as the A side? Oscar still didnt think Floyd's name was big enough to put up huge PPV numbers without him but he quickly found out differently
Rather he ducked it or not, it was good that they didn't fight again. Especially considering, EVERYONE wanted to see the Mayweather versus Cotto fight.
Fight wasn't close at all.
With that said Oscar wNtes the lion shRe of the purse again and Floyd told him to kick rocks. Rightfully so because they both played a equal part in making that fight.
But it don't matter because he fought then undefeated Ricky the hitman hatton.
Oscar was done when he couldnt even knockout Steve Forbes, no wonder Roach was brilliant that he knew Pac is gonna beat him. Mayweather perhaps thinks a rematch with DLH will produced the same results.

I'll help you out and clear this up nicely for everyone. Firstly let's just mention the SD was a travesty and Tom Kaczmarek (or however you spell it) should have been shot afterwards for scoring it 7-5 for Oscar. It was a clear 8 or 9 rd win for Mayweather. Now that we've established that, the reason this fight didn't happen again is because Mayweather didn't like the financial terms offered for the rematch......which were essentially the same as the first fight. He felt he had a major hand in the buyrate being that high and wanted a larger slice for fight number two.
This didn't happen.....the reitirement was to increase his quote....which it did, both times he retired.

@its a known fact that floyd wanted the rematch at welterweight which was only fair, but shane wouldnt have it. oscar got the lions share 1st fight and rightly so, but he didnt qualify 2nd time round, floyd requested 50/50 at welterweight.
no freaking way.
and the fight was scheduled to be at 147 or a catchweight lower than 154. so why would floyd fight oscar at 154 (and school him in that fight), but duck a rematch at 147?
oscar won 3, maybe 4 rounds at the most in the first fight. mayweather knows this. one judge was right, one was in the ballpark, but the other judge must have been the tranny that oscar took pics with.
whether floyd ducked pac, cotto, and margarito is a credible argument. but an oscar rematch?
gtfo of here......
did you see the fight, or did you just check boxrec?
Of course I saw the fight. It was pale in comparison when the judge admitted his scoring error why the Pac vs JMM was a draw. Pac did not *****ing about it and asked JMM for a rematch but JMM turned it down instead he fought Chris John for 35k vs 750k against Pac and lose but he never ask for a rematch vs John. Eventually the rematch did happened and Pac won. So this Pac ducking thing like the flomos cracking line..suck bigtime.
Oscar got a huge gift with the SD loss.
Floyd was being prideful when he chose not to give DLH a rematch: Oscar was trying to call all the shots again when they started to talk about a rematch and Floyd just kind of just told him to get ****ed.
Floyd almost lose in their fight. The score card result were close and the other judge score it for Oscar. Floyd doesn't want to go through again those hairline escape. It much like 100x worst than Pac who already fought JMM twice and beat him twice to consider Pac ducking him. hahaha!
did you see the fight, or did you just check boxrec?
Possibly. He did win handily, so its no worse than Pacquiao ducking a Marquez rematch. But I'd say he didn't want to risk it.
I think "Yes" will be the consensus once this thread really gets going

Any disputed / close result demands a rematch. But the claim Floyd ducked Oscar needs the knowledge that Oscar wanted a rematch with Floyd.
It's not disputed and it wasn't very close. Only boxrec warrior would claim this without even seeing the fight.
i read this all the time and it don't make sense at all.
Floyd won the fight vs Oscar CLEARLY. Why would he ever be scared to fight him again?
Clearly it was because of other matters.
Possibly. He did win handily, so its no worse than Pacquiao ducking a Marquez rematch. But I'd say he didn't want to risk it.

i dont know, i guess both sides werent interested in it enough to make it happen. DLH probably didnt love boxing as much anymore and floyd was probably scared to lose his undefeated record. just my opinion tho
