    Nonsense. Floyd retired because Oscar didn’t want to renegotiate the terms of the rematch. Floyd threatened to fire Roger for training Forbes to fight Oscar. “Messing with my money.” Since Oscar wouldn’t renegotiate, the only way Mayweather could get out of the contract was to retire for the pendency of the contract. lol If Floyd didn’t want a rematch, why did he ask for one in the ring?

    The fight was close. No way in hell did he Coast in that fight and no way In hell would you leave it to chance in the biggest fight of your career.

    Mayweather saw what Oscar had in the first few rounds and never had to lift his game. I thought from the start that it looked like Mayweather was carrying Oscar. You saw the fight differently. That’s cool.

    You are usually a rational guy. If you believe Floyd was afraid to fight Oscar again I don’t know what to tell you.

    im always a rational guy, it limits mistakes. floyd had to retire because the contract he agreed to would force him to rematch dlh. he had the fight, had he really wanted it. he didnt want it. everything else is bad excuses.

    lol Nothing you wrote went against anything I posted previously. If you think this gives you a “win” then more power to you.

    then you agree with the initial post you responded to.
    and when i restated the fact again.
    so i dont understand why you didnt just agree and move on. how does anything you responded with change or matter to what i posted?

    What? Forget what I said about you being rational. I see you are another one of those dudes that can’t be wrong on a message board. I have no desire to go round in circles with you because this has got old already.

    Pretty poor if Mayweather pussied out of a rematch. He would have made a **** load more money.

    If De La Hoya is overrated, them Mayweather must be as well.

    Mayweather in his prime had a close fight with a past prime De La Hoya. Oscar was not as good after being stopped by the much bigger Hopkins and defeated twice by Mosley.

    I scored DLH-Mayweather a draw, many had DLH winning.

    What's that fight go to do with it? Besides Mayweather still won. De La Hoya lost 8 times. Mayweather once Castilo beat him according to many.
