"Floyd retires (for now), Oscar going back to drawing board, both hinting at rematch
By Victor Perea
"I beat the best at 135lbs, I beat the best at 140lbs, I beat the best at 147, and now I beat the best at 154lbs," said Floyd Mayweather Jr. at the post fight press conference after winning a split decision over Oscar De La Hoya. "I've done everything I can with this sport. I came out on top and I left on top. He's a great champ and I'm a great champ and we gave a hell of a fight."

"I don't feel like a loser," stated the Golden Boy. "I felt like I did what I needed to do. I respect the judges decision they are professionals and I respect that....I came out to fight and put pressure. If I didn't put on the pressure there would have been no fight. I had to take the risk and push forward or there would be no fighting," added the former six-division champion.

As for the future, the 30-year-old Mayweather wavered on his retirement plans. "If the fans demand a rematch, what can I say?" stated Mayweather. "I don't know what the future holds for Floyd Mayweather. As of now I'm retired, but I have to talk it over with my team and see what they say." Oscar says he's open to a second fight. "Would I fight him again? Sure," said De La Hoya. "But we would have to sit down and figure that out. Once I go back and sit down and think about it I will know."
