Yet Oscar never rematched Quartey, Whittaker or Trinidad. Was he ducking those rematches or what?
Oscar complains about Mayweather ducking his Rematch?

He's retired dude, give it a freaking rest. What's with all the hate threads on DLH lately, leave the certified ATG alone, he was good for boxing and fought everyone. -
great response!
For the TS: In terms of the Tito rematch, Oscar won that fight and I think deep down inside, he never felt like he needed to prove anything to them. With Quartey it was close and I'm not sure of the reasoning behind a lack of rematch, maybe it's cos he moved onto Tito fight and by the time the 21st century rolled round, Quartey was no longer a top top name at 147.
The rematch with Whitaker didn't really make any sense, the first fight was ugly and I don't think anyone had a the stomach for it. Plus, didn't Whitaker take like 2 years out of the ring in semi-retirement?
Edit: just remembered Whitaker was on coke at the time and his next fight turned into a farce.Comment

Floyd would be more guilty as he is famous for cherry picking and ducking. Also for not having given any rematches to anyone because mostly he wins comfortably and his fights are so boring no one would want to see the rematch.
So when he has a close fight, he is more obligated to have one. But for me the Maidana rematch need not neccesarily be Floyds next fight, but he owes Maidana one.
Problem with that though is Maidana might want to be the first to beat Floyd and someone might beat him to it.Comment

1) He is not a "certified ATG".
2) Even if he was, it wouldn't mean he should get away with saying ****** sh.it.Comment

I'm not being a hater. I respect both fighters.
But Oscar's past ducks bear repeating as he keeps mentioning his 2007 split decision loss to Floyd like that was yesterday, and how Floyd ducked a rematch with him, etc...
Oscar's bouts with Tito, Ike, and Pernell were CLOSER fights than Floyd.
So don't cry Oscar (43-3, lol). Back in your day, you did your ducks too. Just say'in.Comment

If every fighter gave a rematch to every opponent that wanted one resumes would have an average of 4 fighters on them.Comment

It's a matter of public record that he ducked a Trinidad rematch. Negotiations for that fight took place no less than 7 times and fell through each and every time. At first, it was due to Trinidad demanding a 60-40 split in his favor like De La Hoya had the first time out, but eventually Tito and his camp offered a 50-50 purse split and De La Hoya refused it several times.
De La Hoya wanted Tito to accept a 70/30 split in Oscar's favor.
