    would you let him elbow you in the face if it doesn't hurt?

    Bradley's headbutts don't seem intentional to me. Floyd's elbow is more of a set up. It's a push with the elbow. Mares' low blows are a total weapon.

    Mares easily.

    Did you just compare a boxer to a WWF/NWA wrestler?

    on topic:

    PBF - for the most effective and smartest
    Mares - the cheapest and require no skill. He just get away with it because of dirty refs and/or judges. Legit ref and he would have his best 2 wins removed from his record.

    ducking below the beltline is illegal, whether you stay there or not.

    Hard to see how Mares is this good kid just fighting his heart out "accidently" hitting guys low. I mean if it's that many times in a fight, how long before you call it what it is? It's intentional in that he does not kick a **** if it's low or not - he'll just keep throwing it.

    Bradley pretends to be innocent but he's a dirty fighter.

    -butted and low blowed holt.

    -contunuously butted lamont

    -butted campbell to make him quit

    -butted devon so hard that when he hit him on one side, devon felt the effect on the other side.

    This is going to be a tough fight for that Asian midget.

    Floyd uses more forearm than actual elbow. Its a rather ingenious move that I'm surprised more people don't try to use in there arsenal. It's the #1 reason why fighters can't do **** against him on the inside. Just ask Hatton. It was karma for all those wrestling moves he pulled on Tszyu.

    Mares by a long shot. Those low blows take alot out of his opponents and im not sure they are all unintentional.

    Mayweather Elbows, no brainer... Was Floyd ever penalized with that dirty manuever? He's getting away with it.

    Floyd uses that manuever as a defense mechanism. He isn't using it as an attack like Bradley uses his head.

    The real truth of the matter is that if you are in a clinch with someone and lift your elbow/forearm up, most decent people will feel it and plant a hellacious body shot on you. Floyd's use of the elbow is just as skilled as everything else he does, he knows when he can raise it up and create space.

    Next time you clinch with someone who has some idea how to fight try to raise your left elbow into their face or under their chin and see what immediately follows. Not everyone can get away with it.

    Pac's Arriza shakes lol

    Nah but for real I gotta go with Floyds elbows. If you can consider it a weapon that is, he uses it more for defense but it's extremely effective. Mares with any other ref would have been penalized for what he did to Agbeko(though he got away with some against Vic as well). The Bradley butt doesn't seem intentional at all, he just has a freak alien dome.

    The Billygoat Bradley Butt is one of the most brutal weapons in the history of the sport, and it ain't going nowhere. In my opinion, Mancrusher Mares' nutshots will now be relegated to "tune-ups" and bull**** title defenses (assuming he wins some garbage vacant title again someday after Agbeko saps his sack the fair way).

    Mares is a pampered, spoiled little ***** who's gotten away with it thus far.

    Bradley is nothing less than a filthy son of a ***** of a fighter.
