Why is Bivol disparaged for lack of stoppages, while Mayweather was praised?

    Because Floyd's nickname was "Money" and Bivol does not have one.

    Nobody criticized him, which is the point of the thread.

    Which does not criticize him for not KOing opponents. Did you not grasp the question?

    Bivol is a light heavyweight who has only fought in the light heavyweight division. More knockouts should be expected from a heavier guy who is in his original weight class. Floyd didn't stop getting knockouts until his fourth weight class. I don't even get the comparison tbh.

    There's lots of quotes of Mannix being critical of Floyd. That was the first one I found. Did you not grasp the concept that a premise can be flawed?

    Again, you swing and miss. Show Mannix criticizing Joy for not getting KOs or zip it.

    You don't even need to go that far back. Canelo haven't had a stoppage win since Bivol's loss. Here is Mannix on Canelo vs Munguia: "I thought he let Munguia survive".

    What a very strange response from you, it's hard to understand your motive behind such bad posts, but here's just a couple:

    "Mayweather will be remembered for winning this fight, even though this fight will not be remembered. There will be no Mayweather-Pacquiao II, no further collaboration between HBO and Showtime, two competing networks that make the interactions between the Montagues and the Capulets look civil by comparison. Mayweather and Pacquiao will go their separate ways, and they should: As much as everyone wanted to see it happen, no one wants to see that again"

    "Mayweather has bobbed and weaved away from top opponents he would have been heavily favored against and signed on to face ones with glaring flaws"

    "Frankly, there is not much more to say. This was a glorified sparring session"

    "Crowd starting to boo. One woman screaming "Booooring."Mayweather continues to one-punch Guerrero all over the ring. Total blowout"

    "As expected from any Mayweather bout, the fight was also low on entertainment."

    There's also lots of quotes of Mannix praising Floyd as well. There's also.lots of quotes of Mannix praising Bivol.

    As I said, the OP is a flawed premise.
