Mayweather is a very dirty fighter and he gets away with it

Dirty and fighter is a complete oxymoron and does not belong in the same sentence. It's a fight, and though there are rules it's still a fight! Enough with the excuses already!

 

All the greats are dirty.

 

Nope.

Floyd is a cheater with his illegal moves.

 

The first Maidana fight the one with the epic late low blow three seconds into the break at the end of round one? The one with the repeated rabbit punching and landing punches on the literal back? The one with the attempted high knee jump to the groin on one of the breaks? The one with the WWF style takedown in round eleven, I believe it was? That first Maidana fight was well officiated? As ideal as the fight was officiated for Mayweather in the rematch, the fight was equally or more ideally officiated for Maidana's favor the first go around.

 

Good thing nobody on ESB bothers to actually read up on or watch the legendary greats like Muhammad Ali or Sandy Saddler, that's for sure...

And Wladimir and Hopkins aren't dirty by the same criteria I see being used about Floyd? They do the same "shady" or "frowned upon" things that Floyd does except tenfold and that's honestly barely even an exaggeration at all.

 

Could you name a few greats who NEVER used an illegal move?
