Serious question. Why didn't Floyd rematch Oscar? It's the only thing that bothers me about his career.

Floyd ducked the rematch with a fake retirement. Oscar was robbed in that fight. Vegas saw a longer and lucrative future with Floyd as Oscar's career was winding down.

He definitely ducked the rematch by retiring. Fought Hatton after it expired

Oscar was about 40% risk too high for Floyd

I don't buy that. Oscar was super rich and did not have the drive and discipline to get down to 147 anymore, his soft body showed it.

You don't buy that oscar was weight drained after 7 years away from the division?

Oscar made 147 against pacquiao and he was dead. The same thing would have happened if the opponent was floyd in a rematch at 147 like it was scheduled.

im sure he wasnt at his best but why did he retire if it was just the weight? he could have continued his career at 154. also floyd wouldnt have beat hoya down in the rematch, just look how he fought a completely drained canelo. peck and move. when you have a zombie in front of you, you should take them out. even ward took out zombie version of chad dawson

i think oscar realized he was done as a fighter when pac took him out so easily, and it wasnt just weight related. the floyd fight gave him false confidence since he did pretty well against floyd, but floyds defensive style gave oscar the opportunities to look better than he really was.

Floyd shouldve rematch DLH as he would've won. When you win favourable decision in 1st fight it gives you an extra yard in rematch. Floyd probably thought he lost against dlh, and that he didnt, floyd must have felt nobody could touch him if it went to judges, whilst dlh in rematch would feel he had uphill battle, there are things in this world beyond our control.
We can appreciate how hard it is to perform at your best under those circumstances
