Why Didn’t Floyd give PAC rematch when he said “with one arm yes..” #Castillo

RJJ beat bh easy and gave rematch.
Floyd fans like you didn't want rematch but Floyd's critics did and at THE end of the day they were going to be the ones criticising Floyd and the ones Floyd needed to worry about. They are the ones who think Floyd loses rematch without IV use.Comment

There might be something with your timeline here that doesn't fit.
I remember an article in Ring Magazine where Oscar outlined his rematch with Floyd. After that Floyd retired.
The article was in this magazine:
https://boxrec.com/media/index.php/R...ine:_June_2008
What's throwing you off is Oscar's smoke.
First time they were supposed to fight was 2006. Oscar "retired". Floyd fights Baldomir because nobody wanted to see him fight Cory Spinks. Floyd goes the distance with a guy he was expected to stop, all of a sudden here comes Oscar to cherry pick.
Floyd gets the W against Oscar against all odds. Contract calls for a rematch under the same terms. Floyd pulls an Oscar and "retires".
Oscar throws the bait with a fight against the top light welterweight in Ricky Hatton with major money on the line. Half of NSB thought Hatton would beat Floyd (all of them left in disgrace after seeing their guy laid out while the drunk fans chanted).
2008, After Floyd schooled Hatton, Oscar tried to call for a rematch at 147 instead of 154, because Floyd never wanted to fight that high again.
But unlike Jones, Floyd wasn't ****** enough to fall for the trap, and "retired" to let his body recover from damage and weight fluctuations (which it never really has, if you've followed Floyd it's obvious).
De La Hoya tried to cherry pick Hatton fresh off the Mayweather loss. Hatton wasn't ******, and he declined.
When Floyd called and offered to come out of retirement for a rematch, that's when all of a sudden Oscar wasn't interested.
That left him two choices: wait for Floyd who was working to get out of Golden Boy business completely, or cherry pick Manny who was all-too-willing, with A-Side something coursing through his body.

You may be correct in the timeline idk. I take your word for it. I've made some corrections in some glaring errors that doesn't affect your timeline though.What's throwing you off is Oscar's smoke.

Unfortunately your errors were false.
I mean I get it - you wanted Floyd to face your 'eye test', he didn't want to work with Arum who was trying to force the 'eye test'. Nobody truly believed Margacheato could beat Floyd and he wouldn't have gotten any damn credit had he done so. As evidenced by Mosley destroying him yet getting no credit.
Floyd chose a different route. He chose to beat more world champions than anyone else. In fact, it's harder to think of an opponent he faced that WASN'T a world champion besides Berto and McGregor.
