.....for being positive/the aggressor in a fight? I think the majority that watched the match last night will agree that Floyd was extremely negative, yes he was disciplined, resolute and productive, but ultimately mind-numbingly dull. I'm one that appreciates the fine art of boxing but when it gets to the point where someone is quite literally running away from his opponent then i believe that's when you've crossed a line. What i had in mind was to keep to the same rulings that we have now in regards to what wins a round, but in addition, add a separate point system where at the end of the fight, the fighter that was the more aggressive throughout the fight would gain an extra point or two for being the more positive.
Cool number bro. Yea boxing should do something about Floyd running away and winning rounds whilst doing nothing. Plaguing boxing for sure.
What wins a round has changed over the years. I agree with you. Floyd was no exaggeration from my part, just running away from his opponent. That's not boxing. It's just not.
Once again, people resorting to making up new rules to try to get Mayweather to lose. Manny wasn't even all that aggressive in this fight. His output was about half of its normal level. Pacquiao lost, end of story.
And for some odd reason CompuBox(which is flawed at times) had Floyd throwing more and landing more :huh Boxing is hit and dont get hit. Floyd has mastered it. Its called the Sweet science for a reason. :roll:
Sure let's also give points for low output, not landing punches and being a diva and staying at the Mandalay too. Give 3 points for a hurt shoulder. Manny won! Manny won!
Ohh right, but where were you when CJ Ross scored Floyd vs Canelo 114-114? That was such a crazy score for that fight right, but 118-110 now is gospel?? And Floyd didn't duck Manny since 2009? Didn't accuse Manny of roids, and Floyd didn't wake up in the middle of the night with cold sweats having nightmares about Manny Pacquiao, Floyd didn't have to call Leonard at 3 AM to tuck him into bed at night right...???
Floyd boxing is like when basketball teams played four corners with the ball before the shot clock was invented...Floyd don't even try to score he just run around til the clock run out...
This reminds me of when Johnny Wilkinson was dominating world rugby with his kicking ability and a load of butthurt Aussies started saying drop goals should be worth less points, failing to understand that even if drops goals were only worth 0.00000001 point they would have still lost that final against England. You can't change the entire rules of boxing because one guy has mastered a certain defensive style. That'd be ridiculous. It's not like it's easily replicated (just ask broner) so how it's killing the sport is beyond me. I wouldn't suggest more heavily padded gloves because GGG is knocking everyone out and I'm not getting to see 12 round matches and this suggestion is as ridiculous as that. If you're that desperate for Floyd to lose challenge him to a spelling contest.
Well, actually boxing has changed a lot from what it used to be. Lack of 10-10 rounds, referees not scoring a fight, 15 to 12 round title fights. These were all massive changes to the sport. Other sports have changed because a team utilized a certain style. Like four corners in basketball. They put in a shot clock to prevent teams from being "boring". It happens a lot in sport. While I generally don't like to see rules changed, it's generally bad practice, but rule changes are so common these days to say they can't happen is absurd. Look at the NFL. All the safety rules because "defenses were too good" so now you can't hit receivers anymore or they flagged. NFL (American football) as a result has lost its soul imho but it is what it is. Stuff like this changes in sport all the time, so lets not act like it hasn't or can't happen in boxing.
he outlanded pac 2 to 1 shut up sore loser :verysad floyd didn't ran at all just smart movements atsch he barely clinched too listening to pac**** he hugged pac all night :nono haters gonna hate anyway... 118-110 :bbb
