Floyd “Money” Mayweather is still riding high off of his victorious hugging match versus Manny Pacquiao just last month, but recently threw down the gauntlet and has challenged boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya to a fight. This comes after DLH spoke about coming out of retirement, and naturally Mayweather was unafraid of throwing his 48-0 record on the line against a man he’s already fought once before. De La Hoya is one of Floyd’s 48 wins from back in 2007, when Mayweather won by split decision.

DLH has since responded to Floyd with an Instagram video of his own:

While he says he’s content with staying out of the squared circle, that could always change—especially if Floyd keeps talking. For now, this is rematch we will have to wait and hope to see.
