    People who talk about his elbows, make it seem like he's choking dudes out with them. He doesn't use it as a weapon. He doesn't throw elbows. If anything he creates space with that. Doesn't throw them

    I saw him use it twice in the Maidana fight. Meanwhile, Maidana threw 2 low blows, 45 rabbit punches, 1 knee, 1 tackle, 1 bite (allegedly). It's not even comparable, Floyd is only known as a dirty fighter to his haters.

    Pretty much every punch Maidana landed was a rabbit punch or a low blow. He was doing it on purpose too. No way does he get away with such tactics again without having a point taken away.

    I think you mean perception? Anyway......

    The Illegal blows show a lack of respect for Floyd in General

    Instantly punching when Mayweather connected shows a lack of respect for Mayweathers power too. Often Maidana was happy to take a shot and throw back instantly, or keep moving forward, showing Floyd that his power didn't hurt him.

    He is the first fighter in ages who hadn't lost the fight before stepping in he ring. Thats what made it interesting. Everyone else gives up. Maidana didn't.

    And i clearly don't speak for anyone on this site other than myself so please don't make assumptions of that nature, but i would bet you the majority would say this was his most entertaining fight in a VERY long time.

    I dont know why you watch boxing, but i watch it for entertainment

    Check rd 12, cant remember time, but they are in a clinch then floyd jumps and starts yelling to the ref that "he is biting my hand"
    The commentator thinks pbf is covering mm nose.

    Seriously?:patsch First off, that's an almost impossible infraction to call unless one fighter is ducking and staying in a crouched position below the opponent's waist. Making a quick a move to duck a punch is perfectly fine. Second, how could you seriously compare ducking below the waist to rabbit punches, low blows, knees, and tackles?

    floyd uses his forearm and pushes it into your neck/face, that is also an illegal move. 2 sides to every coin. penalize maidana for the rabbit punches and lowblows and penalize floyd for the forearm.

    If you turn to the side or bend forward, you really cant complain about rabbit punches. Yes, maidana was throwing overhand rights, but Floyd ducked forward or turned his back to defend against them, which is why they were sometimes hitting the back of his head. Not an issue IMO. The "Maidana fought dirty" thing is WWWAAAAAAAYYYY overblown.

    :deal:deal

    Especially if Floyd is holding onto Maidana , and turns his head.. he cant complain about anything.

    By the same token using arms to manage your opponent and space is fine too. Golovkin does it all the time, I dont see people bitching about it when he does it.

    Maidana needs to KO Floyd to get the win. He wont do it if he keeps smothering himself, however uncomfortable he makes Floyd feel. Hopefully this time when he is close and in position to land the ref doesnt call a break even if there is no clinching.

    A forearm in the face to create space is illegal to man. Don't matter if he throws it or not. Pushing with it is illegal.

    U duck below a guys waist n he throws an overhand right...where u think that punch is gonna land? Should maidana not throw punches based on Floyd's movement? Second fight will be lame. Ref will be giving floyd all the separation he needs. So he won't have to use those old legs anyway.

    :lol: If you duck below the waist and get hit behind the head, you will defiantly fall.. He ducked below a person who is the same hight as him while turning his back and using elbows? Nobody saw this?

    Also, how was he ducking below the waist when you say Maidana was smothering him? I'm a still seeing people say Floyd runs in the ring.. I don't know what you guys see when he fights..

    Progamer says he paid the ref and usda to use PEDs"that money"
    Boxing_master says he paid the judges and Maidana "that money"
    Looks like he's paying people that's not necessary to get the w...
