    This brings to a very important point about how judges score fights. How many rounds has Floyd won by doing absolutely nothing with his fists? maybe 2 or 3 punches that barely hit the target with no power? Judges have to penalize Floyd for this and not let his defensive prowess and ability to make opponents look like clowns influence them.

    If i were a judge, this is how i would score Floyd's rounds:

    1. Did he connect any good punches? If answer is yes and opponent didn't, round for Floyd
    2. Did he connect a couple of girly punches and run around the ring making the chasing opponent look clumsy? like a clown? ROUND FOR OPPONENT, not Floyd.


    Floyd SHOULD NEVER win rounds by making opponents looks clumsy by simply running and dancing, he HAS TO USE HIS FISTS. I would score all ROUNDS for opponent unless Floyd does damage. Why? cause it's the opponent pressing the action, it's the opponent wanting to fight... and this is a FIGHT, not a circus. We are not here to watch Floyd run and make them look slow, as if they were freaks or clowns for our entertainment. Unless Floyd does damage, he is LOSING the rounds.

    Floyd gets away with winning rounds by doing absolutely nothing... this has to stop.

    That's not even close to being true. In just about every Mayweather fight he clearly lands the more telling shots. He is very accurate and lands crisp shots. He's also a terrific defensive fighter that is very difficult to hit with a clean shot.

    I think it's hilarious that people are so desperate to see Mayweather lose that they are willing to invent their own scoring criteria.

    mayweather doesn't take any chances. last time out he threw 320 punches, even though he had the ref breaking up any inside fighting.

    well Mayweather fans will disagree but it's true, Floyd wins many rounds without hurting opponents or even connecting any solid punches. He often makes his opponents look slow, he makes them miss and judges are definitely influenced by this.

    Take the Canelo fight for instance and watch carefully. How many rounds did floyd win without hurting Canelo or even landing any punches which count? (a few girly touches don't count). Granted, Canelo didn't connect much but because Floyd was running around and ducking.

    Floyd definitley has ring IQ, he knows he can win rounds by landing 3 girly punches and running for the rest of the round, making the opponent look slow, clumsy and silly. Judges see Floyd humiliating the opponent and landing 2 or 3 more punches, even though the punches wouldn't even hurt a kitten. Why should be win rounds like this? Pacquuao could do the same if he wanted to. I mean, Pac is so fast that he could dart around for 12 rounds, throw 300 punches, hit like a girl and make opponents look stupid.. he would be 64-0, i guarantee it. He's even faster than Floyd... I guess it's true, Floyd is the smartest cause Pac hasn't figured this out yet.

    no, that he also doesn't do much with his fists, i agree with Canelo. No boxer should win rounds by connecting 3 soft punches and avoiding getting hit for the rest of the round...

    I can see Pacquiao using his quickness to never lose, just use his superior footwork and speed to land a few girly punches, avoid getting hit and win every time, easily. Pacquiao comes to fight though, call him stupid and floyd smart but i really think judges need to put more pressure on Floyd to use his fists... bedazzling the crowd by being elusive whilst barely throwing punches ought to be penalized.

    He should shut the **** up. He won against Lara and got a gift on this one. Floyd made him look awful and Canelo hasn't done any damage in that fight. Canelo is one hell of an overated fighter.

    let me put this way...

    let's you you are a judge at a Floyd vs opponent x fight.

    Round 6. opponent x is chasing Floyd non-stop, Floyd is moving, dancing, avoiding punches. The opponent throws 30 punches, most land on Floyd's gloves, arms or miss wildly. Floyd throws 8 punches, lands 3 of them, 3 punches that wouldn't even hurt a 3 month old baby.

    So,. round is over. Floyd connected more, made the opponent looks slow, clumsy and miss wildly. Now, 99% of the time, round goes to Floyd. I would definitely not give it to Floyd. I cannot award a round to someone barely throwing, and trying to impress me by making opponent look like a caveman without the intention of doing any damage. Sorry, this is a fight and he has to fight.
