De la Hoya and Mayweather were scheduled for a rematch on September 20, 2008. However, unlike the first fight, the fight would have been contracted for 147 lbs. or the welterweight limit. The first fight was contracted at light middleweight or 154 lbs and de la Hoya's WBC junior middleweight title was on the line. However, Mayweather would have come in as champion and defended his WBC/The Ring welterweight titles. As a tune-up fight, De la Hoya fought Stephen Forbes (33-6) on May 3, with Floyd Mayweather, Sr. as his trainer. De La Hoya (39-5, 30 KOs) dominated and won a unanimous decision over Forbes, 119-109, 119-109 and 120-108.
The rematch never took place due to Mayweather's retirement in 2008[6] and De La Hoya's retirement in 2009, although Mayweather would return to boxing in 2009.
