First i fixed your quote to match the supposition most of the arguments are based on.
Now, from that, are you really sure the SYG still applies?
That's what this case is going to boil down to, imo. Once the two physically met up, who made the first move, who instigated it, will determine ALOT. Or at least it should.

And to answer your hypothetical situation. If I was standing in my driveway and someone I didn't like was walking by and I attacked him and he physically retaliated and I felt my life was threatened with death or great bodily harm then under Florida's SYG and castle doctrine laws I could shoot him dead.

That's not the hypothetical question that was proposed, but as you have edited it no because I physically assaulted first.
Now for this thread and topic that argument doesn't hold up because there is zero evidence that Zimmerman physically attacked Martin. Asking someone questions and even using racial epitaphs does not constitute physical assault.
