WBC boss calls for De La Hoya-Mayweather II

WBC president Jose Sulaiman is calling for a rematch between Oscar De La Hoya and WBC 154-pound champ Floyd Mayweather Jr., to change the close decision to decisive. Practically speaking, the win, rather than a draw, hinged on the margin of just one point, and both fighters feel they did enough to win.
"My opinion is that there should be a rematch," Sulaiman said. "I'm sure that Floyd Mayweather isn't very happy to have won by such a close margin. And I'm sure that Oscar De La Hoya is very unhappy to have lost the title in such a close match. So a rematch should be the best thing to happen."

Mayweather has yet to decide whether he'll keep the WBC welterweight or super welterweight belts, and is being given a few more days to reach the point of a decision. Rules state that no champion can hold more than one belt simultaneously.

That didn't stop Sulaiman comparing Mayweather to all time great Henry "Homicide Hank" Armstrong, who held the featherweight, welterweight and lightweight belts simultaneously 1937-38, before the rules changed.

Describing Mayweather as one of kind, Sulaiman said he retains the capacity and capability to fight as a super lightweight, welterweight and super welterweight, and is, "s master of self defense."
