So the IBF sent a letter to Floyd Mayweather congratulating him on the defeat of Zab Judah. After the praise he was told that he had 5 days to decide on whether or not he wanted to take a rematch with Judah...or be stripped of his title.
During the 90-120 days waiting period...he's not allowed to take another fight.
You Margarito junkies just got shatted out of your heroe's chance to make a statement.
Fwock the gotdam IBF & their crooked bullshat!!! You don't congratulate a man on becoming your champion & then on the next page threaten to strip him...
Floyd should not take this rematch...he should just fight/defeat Margarito & then move on...8 mill richer...but if I know my man...& I think that I do...he'll take the rematch.
Bullshat!

Fightnews has obtained a copy of the actual letter sent from the IBF to Floyd Mayweather Jr. via his promoter Top Rank ordering a rematch with Zab Judah. In it, IBF President Marian Muhammad congratulates Floyd on his win but calls the bout "tarnished by what I call one of the most abhorrent displays of unsportsmanlike conduct to occur in boxing [in regard to Roger Mayweather entering the ring to start a tenth round melee].....based on all the information available, the poll of IBF/USBA Board of Directors and my personal attendance at the fight of April 8, 2006 between Zab Judah and Floyd Mayweather, Jr., it is the decision and directive of the IBF that a rematch between Floyed Mayweather, Jr., and Zab Judah is ordered to take place within 90-120 days of April 8, 2006 or not later August 8, 2006 for the IBF Welterweight title. The Board is also directing that no intervening bouts should be contracted for by either boxer. Kindly let us know within the next 5 days as to whether or not you feel this bout can be negotiated so that we may move forward from that point." See the actual letter.
