    Obviously Klitschko Haye is the best example of flopping, but the Pulev Dimitrenko fight is more significant on whether it should impact scoring of a round. Dimitrenko flopped a bunch against Pulev, but if you ignored that, then it was close, but I had a hard time not scoring almost all of the first 5 or 6 rounds for Dimitrenko.

    Honestly, boxing isn't hand holding, its a rough, physical sport, and if you can't take the clinches then you shouldn't be in the sport, imo. I think flopping should go against your ring generalship score, so if its an evenish round, it should tilt it against the flopper. Opinions?
