Why Didn't Floyd Ever Rematch De La Hoya?

:rofl dont worship or nut hug fighters like you. fact is the fight was boring. and a rematch would have renderd the same result. pac's anhilation of dlh, was far more entertaining. you probably believe dlh won the fight.:rofl maybe your idol is dlh.:think

 

the real question is why didnt he fight cotto after/before the de la hoya fight.

you have a undefeated champ in YOUR own division and he retired and said "i have nothing left to prove..."

 

The bottom line is that if Mayweather doesn't back out and retire,the fight absolutely does get made.

The fight was close.To many people give mayweather credit for scoring punches in that fight that were blocked by De La Hoya's gloves.

After the 9th or 10th round Mayweather Jr didn't even think he was winning the fight.Floyd asked his corner if he was winning the fight,something i've never heard Mayweather ask his corner.

If Mayweather was touching Oscar so much,why was De La Hoya's face near untouched.

You could clearly see after the fight and at the post fight press conference,Mayweather had two puffy eyes.

Thats why i say if the rematch took place at 154lbs again,then Oscar had a good chance of taking the rematch,knowing what he had to do to win.

At welter weight,Oscar gets beat very decisively by Mayweather IMO.Oscar couldn't make 147 anymore.That was easy to see in the Pacquiao fight.

 

did you think dlh won the fight? the fight was close because dlh had a significant wiehgt advantage over mayweather. mayweather said it best himself, "you saw a welterwieght beat a jr. middlewieght". due to this mayweather fought a cautious fight, not letting his hands go enough because of the size difference. and dlh didnt let his hands go either until mayweather went on the ropes, where left off shots but aside from a few overhand rights, none of them were great punches. the fight overall was boring. niether gave you a reason why you wanted to see them matched up together again. the fight was purely a business mover for both parties. and you know that had mayweather fought him again, people would have said he was fighting an old fighter, trying to get paid. you dont see what there saying about the mosley fight now.

 

:rofl Shut the **** up man, DLH looked like crap against Forbes.

 

You must have watched a different fight from me Diz.

I refuse to buy into 'no-one wanted to see the rematch' what with 2.4 million ppv buys for the encounter.

It would have done less but a shitload more than any other fight out there.

Sometimes rematches just don't happen, this is one of those times.

 

I have no idea why he decided to retire, perhaps it was so that he could demand more money if they did rematch? using the retirment as leverage who knows.

What I can say is Floyd turning down the rematch opened a door for Pacquiao and Pacquiao obviously walked through it destroying both common opponents he has with Floyd.

Something that I havent pointed out, Floyd exploited something in DLH in their fight, in the late rounds when Suddenly that jab of Oscars wasnt there and Floyd started comming forward with Shots it seemed to me that Oscar just couldnt handle as he moved straight back and was getting tagged, but Floyds saftey first style did not allow for him to take advantage of what was there.

Roach obviously saw this, and saw that Oscar could no longer move as well as he had in the past that the zip in his shots and his legs were not what they used to be.... Pacquiao exploited this in their fight, and had Floyd turned it on who knows, he may have stopped Oscar in the fight but that saftey first style made for a close SD with DLH rather than a shut out or a stoppage.

 

Your argument to defend Floyd is very poor. I see that you enjoyed
watching a weak DLH being KO while protecting your idol Floyd.

 

Its kind of funny how when everybody fights Floyd, they magically just stop doing things. Oscar didn't just just suddenly stop jabbing, it was neutralized by Floyd.

And what Roach saw in Oscar had nothing to do with the Flouyd fight. What he saw was an Oscar who looked when he cut weight to make 150 against Forbes, and he knew that at 147, Oscar would be a mummy.

 

IMO your wrong about the rematch not happening.

Oscar had a significant size advantage...But a thought that skills win fights,not size says Mayweather.

Do you remember one of the first things that Mayweather said at one of the press confrences when Floyd was going to fight Marquez in his comeback fight?

Mayweather said that he was back to do big numbers wanting big fights,and with Oscar sitting there,mayweather pointed at Oscar saying.."We can do it again and steal another 40 million" Floyd refering to Oscar and him fighting again.Mayweather knew that he got his biggest payday fighting De La Hoya.

It simply didn't happen because for whatever reason,Floyd decided to retire or take a break from boxing.

Amagine the 24/7 for that rematch,with Floyd Sr accepting to train Oscar and be in his corner.Roger,Jr and Floyd Sr were on bad terms at that time and a brother against brother going up against each other would have been great.Not to mention the Hoya vs Mayweather 24/7 for the rematch,it would've been epic.Whoever wasn't so interested would've been sucked in by the antics that went on in that 24/7.

Yes i do see what is being said about Mayweather beating Mosley and Mosley was old.That to me doesn't hold any water.Look what old Mosley did to Margo one fight before.Mosley did something that knowone has ever done,when he totally whooped Margo from post to post and KO'd him in brutal fasion.

People that are saying Mayweather beat an old shot Mosley are mostly Pacquiao fans.

Since when did Mayweather Jr care about what the fans think of him or what they say anyway.He does what he wants to do,and loves making the big numbers doing it.

 

nobody wanted to see it

 

Did people want to see Dawson rematch Tarver or Johnson?

Thats only two fights that i will name that are not even close to the magnitude of a De La Hoya/Mayweather rematch,but did people not wanting to see them stop those fights from happening?

 

pac made delahoya look bad not the weight. Floyd wouldnt kill anyone especialy delahoya who alot of people think he lost to. He couldnt even kill a 40 year old mosley his greatest win and reason for rejoice from his fan boys always ignoring the fact that mosley is 40 and grey. Pac would rip that old mosley apart. Void has no chance with pac it would be a mismatch how could he let a 40 year old nearly take his god dam head off and you think pac wont touch him what a joke. Pac would stop this overrated chinless **** talker in under 4 rounds.

 

Aren't like 95% of Floyd's fights boring??? Still the biggest $$ fight for Floyd at the time.

I think the REAL reason was that it was way too much of a close call for Floyd's 0 record.

 

ATG what a joke more like chinless wonder on the verge of being exposed if he ever gets the balls to step in the ring with pac.
