    Why no De La Hoya-Whitaker II?

    I can remember this being a good fight. I also remember Pernell feeling as though he won the fight (I agreed with him) and the controversy of the scoring of this fight, but why exactly wasn't there a rematch for this fight?



    I mean, Oscar remained undefeated and this was only Pernell's 2nd loss...thoughts?

    Why wasn't there a rematch with Ike?

    How about Tito?

          because there was no money in it and de la hoya would risk lowering his stock.

              Nah. He just didn't wanna fight Whitaker again because he fought so dirty and he knew he had beaten him clearly, which he did ofc.

                  cause dlh doesn't do rematches unless he loses.

                    Nah, not even then. But he did rematch Chavez though.
