If Floyd ducks a rematch: Does it hurt his legacy?

[SlySlickSmooth]

I wasn't able to score it for Maidana, but I can see why its possible some may have. I scored it 114-114, 115-113 is agreeable for Mayweather.

117-111 was a trash score.

I think if there's a rematch we'll see a different Floyd, he probably won't be backing up on to the ropes inviting Maidana in . . yes instances where Madiana forced him there and instances where Floyd invited him in . . . But if there's a rematch I'd expect Floyd to keep it in the center of the ring and do his so called running . . . He'll want to establish a W in the rematch unscaved

Ran and clinched???? i am going to guess you did not even watch the fight

dont get so defensive, Mayweather is just an ordinary fighter.

I hope we are all smart enough to know that the official result isnt the whole story. In boxing it also matters HOW you win.

While it wouldnt hurt his legacy, a rematch is warranted, will be expected, and makes the most sense financially if he is not going to move up.

And it makes no sense to tell people you fought poorly on purpose but could have won by a wide margin if you wanted to. Why would I buy the rematch if that were true? Luckily for Floyd only his dearest funboys believe that.

Roy Jones used to say that all the time

It would hurt him short term but long term how many guys are really hurt for not rematching a hard fight in their late thirties? Seriously, how many?

[fundicao]

Yes!!!! More competitive fight for floyd since de la hoya and IMO maidana won 7-5!!!!

A rematch must happen in september like a told a long long time ago

[-MEGA-]

I smell a RJJ/Tarver situation....

[Larry the boss]

yes he did rematch Castillo...and yet all you hear on here is how Castillo beat him and how he is a coward...so yea im sure a rematch would change things...

Roy even went as far to say he lost the 3rd fight on purpose so his father would not get any credit
