    What I don't get is why would he not have given Delahoya a rematch and made even more money than their first proper ***** *****

    LOL @ Floyd being scared of Margarito. Floyd would have shut Margarito out 12-0 if they fought.

    Tweet by ODLH:

    I had a rematch clause for 1 year and Mayweather decided to retire for 1 year and 1 day.

    i think hsi body was breaking down and he needed a break. He said so during the Hatton 24/7 and people thought he was just setting up excuses for a loss

    After they were ruined or clearly well past their prime. Before the margarito fight cotto had an invincibility factor to him but cheat margarito ruined him explain why he didn't rematch Delahoya then ?

    how can theftjr stomach this?

    his legacy is defined by ducking anyone that has a chance of beating him inclucing the biggest fight in his career.

    plus, he is a ped /xylocaine abuser.

    when is he gonna show his drug test records?

    is he hiding something?

    why pay pac money to keep his drug records secret if theftjr has nothing to hide?

    He was old shot and past his prime but was still enough to get a split decision against fraud
