If Mayweather is such a coward why did he give Castillo an Immediate Rematch??

    Mayweather wasn't always a coward. When he was making a name for himself he chased all the big fights. There is however an inconcisistency that bothers me. I always wonder why he never fought the likes of Barrera, Morales or Marquez in the lower weights. I know mosley ducked him and for some complicated reasons Tszyu fight never materialized, but that's a lot of big names he hasn't fought.

    He couldn't fight MAB or EM because they were not in the same weight classes as he was. PBF's last fight at 130 was around 2001 they didn't get to that weight until years later.

    Uhhh, because Castillo was robbed and Mayweather knew it?
    I'm not saying Castillo clearly won, but at a minimum, that fight was a draw.

    Mayweather honored the gift and offered the rematch as he knew he could beat him with 2 functioning arms.

    Regardless of him beating Castillo with ease in the second fight, doesn't change the fact that he lost the first fight.

    Oh the time frame difference, makes sense. I always maintained that until 140 PBF was a genuine badass

    Mayweather was FORCED to give Castillo a rematch. He knew & everyone knew Castillo kicked his ass in Fight 1 but got jobbed.
    That fight really started the manufacturing of Mayweather By NSAC & Vegas boxing

    Didn't he say that he had a shoulder injury during the first fight? Floyd knew that he wasn't fighting at 100% hence he gave Castillo a rematch since he knew he could beat him.

    In May vs Pac, it was the other way around. Pac knew he wasn't at 100% due to his injury that's why he asked for an immediate rematch. Unfortunately, Floyd also knew Pac's injured hence it would be risky to fight him when fully recovered. Why won't he give Pac another shot and get more money than any other fighters could give if he truly knows for himself he could beat him fair and square?

    If he didn't have to deal with Arum then I think the rematch would have happened. Floyd clearly hates Bob and Bob clearly hates Floyd.

    Why would a coward want to rematch a guy he supposedly "lost" to?

    at this point its not even funny but hey lets play. GGG victim got Ko'd by Floyd victim inside of 4 rounds so that destroys the all of GGG's opponents KO Floyds opponents and himself.

    If you was using 50ml IV saline and upped to 750ml in the rematch you'd give anybody a rematch.
