    If Floyd Jr. had to get up off the canvas multiple times like Holt to come back and put his man to sleep would you hate him so much then?

    The thing to note is that Floyd (like RJJ before him) is so above than the rest that is very unlikely that you'll see him in that position. His technique and awareness will always protect him. You might see him take a knee though...

    The drawback is that (like RJJ before him) if he gets caught it might be lights out... because they never saw it coming.

    Athletes like that are too good to be in that situation.

    Technically that is still a knockdown.

    I made no reference to Hernandez.

    However, Judah whould have been credited with a knockdown in his favour against Mayweather.

    What was he supposed to do? Retract his arm to make himself more sympathetic to you? :-(

    Floyd has faced plenty of adversity. From winning a rematch after being gifted against Castillo to fighting with broken hands on multiple occasions. Him being knocked down wouldn't change anything

    The problem is his opposition
