    Floyd is the best Openly Gay Boxer in the history of the sport. He deserves some respect... Just sayin!

    Yeah he knows how to block shots and chicken wing his way out like he did Hatton,and push off too all being legal... People who don't watch boxing claim he is elbowing the head like MMa but show me multiple clips where he does so.. The casual fan sees a elbow to the head,a boxing head sees defense,and offense..

    Sticking your forearm like that is like elbowing an opponent

    and ffs, why do you guys compare the mma elbow with this just to satisfy you from defending an illegal move like that? elbowing in mma is legal, and in boxing it's illegal. you find ways to make that illegal move to be unnoticed, just like the floyd "forearm reach". that's still elbowing.

    You are not allowed to snap your elbow,if that was the case we would of saw cuts,gashes,broken nose on these fighters..

    Also just found this,...."using an elbow/forearm on the opponents chest to create distance is not illegal. Stuffing them in an opponents' face is."

    Floyd used it on da face and chest occassionaly. I think he got deducted on points with this illegal move against castillo?

    :good All it takes is a close eye and to know what your watching,when Ricky is crowding Floyd and he is in the "chicken wing" position he is trying to squirm his way out of the pocket..It's appears to a NOOBS eye that he is hitting him in the forehead..

    Yet he has never had a point deducted in recent fights for that,and where are the broken noses,cuts,gashes? When you watch his fights he picks off punches with his elbow as well "legal in boxing" without even looking,his elbows almost have their own mind.

    In the post fight interview Hatton said "he is good at slipping and sliding and making you miss".... He said he uses his forearms to make room the shots and he got me"

    Also Hatton is an inside pressure fighter so Floyd had to push him off the whole fight..
