Floyd never uses his elbows to actually strike opponents, he uses them to push and keep people at bay in close quarters. He'll dig them in your chest, face, blind your vision with his forearms, and paste you with quick rights in the process. Dirty, but very effective. The worst thing you can do as his opponent, is show him respect in that ring. Because he certainly doesn't give any back! This is one of the many things Manny will do wrong. After breaks and clinches, if Manny's not protecting himself, Floyd will pop him right in the mouth.
I have been waiting for floyd to get points deducted for elbows. It's like ali and holding down someone's head.
Floyd doesn't really throw his elbows, he just uses them to push you off. AA really THROWS them, and since that's the question of the thread, it has to be AA. If the question was who uses his elbows more effectively, the answer would definitely be Floyd.
