Why did floyd duck a oscar rematch at 154

[atom-ictortilla]

Any way you spin it, intentionally avoiding a match is ducking.

Wasn't trying to spin it to say he didnt "duck" him. Just gave my opinion on why he did what he did.

That's ******. He beat oscar. He literally beat him. How do u duck a fighter u beat handily? U guys are so out of touch with reality it's crazy.

It's absolutely ridiculous.

Floyd wasn't getting the type of money he wanted from Oscar and after the Hatton fight was being trapped between Cotto/Margy/Mosley and possibly Williams. He knew it wasn't the right time to fight any of those guys so retired.

True.
He wanted no part of the top guys at 147, those you named were punchers, none had been stopped at the time. He would have lost the 0 if he fought those 4 b2b.
Plus the Oscar fight was close, so what if he lost, either rightfully or a gift for Oscar.
Floyd has always followed the path of least resistance. If he fights Berto, I will not watch.

It was a close fight, Oscar might have won but he gassed out late.
There was a rematch clause in the fight contract, that is why Floyd retired for 1 year and 1 day.

If he handily beat him, why not rematch? It was one of the best fighters of the generation, he gave Castillo and Maidana rematches.

Floyd was salty because he got ****ed during the negotiations, gloves money ring size promotions etc he got schooled by Oscar on the business side of things

Put the pipe down if you think that fight was in any way close at all. That was an easy 8-4ish fight. Castillo and Maidana actually did enough(If not more) to deserve rematches.

Read above. And by that logic why would he duck DLH who he beat a lot easier than BOTH Maidana and Castillo. Use your brain please.

Margarito is the only legitimate duck....possibly the punisher too. Cotto and Mosley were not. It's like people forget that he tried to fight Cotto in 04 and Mosley in 06 and was turned down. But when they called and the timing wasn't right for Floyd it's a duck. You can't have it both ways.

So I guess it isn't enough for the Floyd haters to claim that Floyd is ducking the fights he hasn't fought. Now these haters are now saying Floyd is ducking the fighters he already beat bwahahaha. These ****** still salting

[littlemac]

If Floyd doesn't fight them his ducking. If Floyd fights them and beats them his still ducking. Floyd always in a lose lose situation with these haters lol
