    It's blatent cheating! When will a ref say something about him rubbing hos forearm in his opponents face in every single clinch?

    It's a good weapon when the opponent rushes in like a madman.

    Mayweather used the forearm, Mosley wrestled. What did you expect, points to be taken away? It's all good.

    Never. All kinds of **** happens in a clinch. As long as it isn't something ridiculous no fighter will ever complain and no referee will ever bother.

    Bayless picked it up at least once and gave Floyd a warning.

    I dont know if anyone agrees but i thought Mayweather was the stronger man in the clinch.

    The elbow is just gamesmanship in my opinion, plus Mosley was the one falling in on him due to his footwork.

    The forearm? Really, the forearm was the least of Shane problems. If Floyd isn't choking someone with the forearm then he is essentially fine.

    I don't just mean against Mosley, it's every fight he has. Nearly every time he gets away with it, where other people against him get penalized for other things!

    On another note, how good is Nazim Richardson in the corner "You have to punch with him, you're looking for a perfect shot and there isn't one". I like his comment where he made Mosley repeat it too, and told him he couldn't be that tired cos he said it.

    floyd usually points his elbow towards his opponent when the opponent tries to attack. notice his fight with jmm, when jmm charges floyd points his elbow towards marquez's face, that way jmm has to decide whether he continues to go in and make a contact with the elbow (that way, floyd has technically no fault as it is marquez's face who rushed in to the elbow), Or he can back up. Jmm did back up. No contact happened, no foul call necessary. A ***** move though
