I was thinking that myself master. If a rematch happened it might be similar as to what Chavez did to Vera in the rematch, a completely different fight. But I'm not sure, Chino is not Vera. Chino May not allow Mayweather to dictate the pace even though Floyd has studied him. It would be very interesting to see, Floyd is very good at figuring out opponents so what you say could very well happen but Chino could surprise us again. It says a lot about this fight that a rematch was being discussed seriously while both fighters were in the ring.
When Floyd boxed he won the fight, when he chose to lay on the rope he got mauled. The fight is about perception, Floyd was not landing much boxing and he was not getting battered when he was on the rope but it looked like he was losing.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
