It appears that an Oscar De La Hoya rematch is not the only fight to make Floyd Mayweather, Jr. come out of his recent retirement. According to a recent report in the Newark Star-Ledger , Mayweather would be willing to come out of retirement for a potential bout with Felix "Tito" Trinidad, who also happens to be retired.
Trinidad has not fought since May 2005, when he was badly dominated by Winky Wright for twelve rounds. Mayweather thinks Trinidad would be an easy night of work.
"I'd fight Trinidad," said Mayweather. "It would be easy. He can't deal with boxers. He got hit by (Ricardo) Mayorga. Cory Spinks beat Mayorga. Zab (Judah) knocked Cory Spinks out and I punished Zab. So, Trinidad definitely ain't going to do nothing."
There has been talk of a rematch between Trinidad and De La Hoya. The two last met in 1999 in a bout that saw Trinidad win a controversial majority decision. One of the major obstacles holding up a rematch for the last few years has been the weight. Trinidad refuses to fight below 160-pounds, and De La Hoya won't fight Trinidad at 160.
Mayweather, who weighed 148-pounds on the night he won a split-decision over De La Hoya, is not worried about fighting Trinidad at 160-pounds.
"I keep telling you guys weight don't win fights," Mayweather said. "With Oscar, it was a welterweight fighting a middleweight."
