    Did Floyd duck a rematch with Oscar?

    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.

    Yes, De la Hoya was close to beating him and 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

      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.

          Duck in what sense? He pulled out because he felt he should've been on the A-side of the deal

            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.

              It's not disputed and it wasn't very close. Only boxrec warrior would claim this without even seeing the fight.

                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!

                  ask floyd senior who won the fight.

                    did you see the fight, or did you just check boxrec?
