How can people say Mayweather was "unethical"

I'm driving and approaching an intersection with a green light. A dog crosses the intersection. I decide it's too much of a hassle to slow down and run over the dog. Police stops me and I tell him that the light was green and had the right of way.

Am I unethical?

 

More like tell the dog to cross the street then run him over

 

People say that because it's Floyd. If it were the other way around, those same people would be cheering for Ortiz.

Ortiz got exactly what he deserved.

 

its quite easy.
you just speak the words

''Floys is unethical''

there you are

 

Did Ortiz look ready to fight to you?? That's the "ethics" part.

Go ahead and clarify and reclarify that it was a legal shot. Alot of people have wasted bandwith preaching to nobody in particular about that.

But steer clear of questioning why anyone would regard throwing knockout power punches on a guy who has his arms at his sides looking the other way in a boxing ring unethical. You sound like legitimate ******.

 

Mayweather was very much within his right to hit Ortiz, the bout had restarted after Ortiz's point deduction. Ortiz had his hands out, Mayweather somewhat touched them, Ortiz went for the hug...Mayweather put his guard up like Ortiz should have been and we know what happened from there.

Mayweather punching Ortiz - Legal.
Ortiz headbutting Mayweather NUMEROUS times - Illegal.

Ortiz was not prepared, but that IS his own fault, not Floyd's. I don't believe Mayweather meant to knock him out, he wasn't really planted for the straight right. Mosley took those same shots without flinching, I guess Mayweather probably thought Ortiz would do the same.

Disappointing finish, but very much legal.

 

having said all that...your argument would actually look better if you mentioned the blatant head butts that were fired at Floyd...and theres a big difference between what Ortiz did...and head butts that happen because of styles...like when idiots give andre ward hell...but his head butts arent thought plans, that when 1 misses...reload the head and fire again... the shot was a cheap shot...but within the rules...ortiz head butt was a cheaper shot not in the rules...have no problem with it....but he should have just ***** slapped and not robbed the fans

 

Let's flip the script...

If Mayweather had intentionally headbutted Ortiz, and had the point deducted, then if Ortiz had hit Floyd and KO'd him in the exact same circumstances, people would be saying "he got what he deserved for headbutting". But because it's Floyd all hell break's lose.

Floyd spotted a way to end the fight early and did so, it wasn't illegal although it was frowned upon, but he did nothing illegal. The problem is the ending of the fight is overshadowing the fact Ortiz used his head blatently several times.

What's happened has happened, it wasn't illegal but it wasn't moral, Floyd did what he had to do to win

 

It was a legal punch. Unethical is not the right word. Unsportsmanlike ... maybe not the right word too. But if you want to ask the majority of humanity "Do you want to win that way to be called the greatest boxer that ever lived?", what would they say? Floyd did what he felt was right.... other people too have the right to say anything about the result of the fight. "PERSONALLY", I wouldn't wanna win that way.

 

Now you flip the script, and see what Floyd fans would be saying.
They'd be going absolutely bonkers, 10 times worse than people are now.

 

I agree 100%...

But it isn't just the Ortiz fan's crying out here, it's everybody who isn't a Floyd fan. I've never known a Boxer hated so much, who people want to see beat so much, even more so than Margarito after the handwrap scandal

 

Floyd earned all the hate he's getting just like Margarito. You just said it yourself, people that aren't even Ortiz fans are pissed at him, and they have a right to be.
There are now thousands more people who were totally indifferent to Floyd before this fight, that now hate him because of what he did.
Anyone who is honest with themselves can see that Mayweather, not Ortiz, instigated the hug. Ortiz was coming in to touch gloves and Floyd held his arms out, and even nodded to Ortiz for the hug. it was all set up, and Floyd bitched his way out of what was just starting to become a rough fight.

This is not irrational hatred. Floyd has earned it.
