Floyd Mayweather retired and unretired to avoid a rematch with the opponent he replaced at the top of the Pound for Pound boxing tree. That’s according to Oscar De La Hoya, who lost to Mayweather via split decision in 2007. The Golden Boy promoter alleges Mayweather announced he’d be hanging up his gloves and walking away from the sport only to make a comeback the day after a contract clause with De La Hoya ran out, says the 1992 Olympic gold medalist.
