De LA Hoya looked good considering Forbes was preparation for a rematch with Mayweather. The reason Floyd fought Oscar when he did was because Oscar turned into a part time fighter then. He was not fighting regularly and his heart was no longer in it. That is why he ran out of gas and lost. He got back in shape had a good tune up with Forbes and Floyd wanted to part of a De La Hoya who was in shape and better prepared. There was no reason for Floyd to avoid the rematch. He would of made a lot more $ in the rematch and his status would of gotten bigger if he won. But we all know Floyd does not like to take risks like that.
you are sounding like a casual fan. de la hoya was the cash cow of boxing in 2007. not floyd mayweather. meaning de la hoya called all the shots, not floyd.
floyd didnt wait to fight oscar. its the other way around.
oscar waited to fight floyd. floyd was calling for a de la hoya fight for half a decade before he finally got it.
floyd was the b side, and the b side doesnt determine when a fight happens. the A side does, and the A side was de la hoya.
de la hoya determined when, where, and if a fight with him happened or not
haters keep trying to change the narrative like floyd picked oscar, when the truth is oscar picked floyd
de la hoya vs mayweather happened in 2007 because thats when de la hoya chose for it to happen
these are facts.
thats like golovkin dictating to canelo when they fight, as you can see it dont work like that. canelo calls all the shots because he is the A side. just like the golden boy was in 2007Last edited by bluebeam; 12-15-2017, 08:42 AM.

As for Floyd calling for a fight with Oscar for half a decade, that was not even plausible. Floyd did not move up to 147 until 2006 and Oscar was fighting at 154 since 2001. So how in the hell was a fight going to take place between them? Floyd was still a jr lightweight when Oscar was already at 154lbs. So I call bs on your claim that Floyd was calling out Oscar for 5yrs prior to their fight.Last edited by jdp28tx; 12-15-2017, 03:12 PM.

My point is Floyd did not want the rematch. It was all but set when he backed out not long after Oscar's tune-up win against Forbes. And why did Floyd decide to pull out of the rematch? There was no good reason for him to pull out since he would of made a lot more $ in the rematch. Only reason I can think of as to why he pulled out of the rematch was because it was too much of a risk since the 1st match was a close fight and Oscar in shape and focused would of been too risky. I am not saying Floyd would of lost,but with an in-shape and determined Oscar the percentages of Floyd losing went up and Floyd knew that.

your post clearly says floyd fought oscar when he did because oscar was a part time fighter by then.
those are your words.
thats why i said all that about oscar being the A side. the facts are floyd fought oscar when he did because thats when oscar wanted it. floyd had no choice.
now to break some of your points in half
you said oscar was going to be in tremendous shape for the rematch at 147 in september of 2008. well he looked like a zombie at 147 in december of 2008 against manny pacquiao. what would have been different against floyd? oscar showed he couldnt make 147 healthy.
next up, it didnt matter if floyd was in the same weight class or not because floyd and oscar were never in the same weight class. mayweather vs de la hoya was floyds first fight at 154. which means he moved up to fight oscar just like he was saying he was willing to do for half a decade. so its not like he was bluffing because he moved up to fight oscar once oscar gave the green light.

Oscar didnt even deserve a rematch with mayweather either, the first fight wasnt even that close.
