Something i noticed about floyd's development

[Travdog]

Floyd has developed a bad habit of pushing off with his forearm and using his elbow to gain a little "comfort" room.

It'll cost him if a ref calls him on it as Drakulich did.

Uses the elbow in the pocket, he's a veteran he knows lil tricks...that is not a bad habit that is a tactic to give himself room as well as to keep opponents at bay. The man is clever in the ring.


But this cherry picking thing is really pull at straws.

These are the fights that I would have wanted to see that I didn't.

Casa 130
Stevie Johnston 135
Tsyzu 140
Cotto 147
Forrest 147
Margarito 147
Pacman 147
Martinez 154


I have lived through Floyd's whole career and I know why those fights never happened.

You can't fight them all. Hopefully we get to see Floyd v Pac and Floyd v Martinez

If you are great enough you will have haters and Floyd is that great and he has haters. He can not be questioned in the ring so haters only chance to hate is to hate on him outside and that's fine. But he is the true master in the ring and everyone knows it.

Thats not a bad habit. Its a trick of the trade. He always gets warned for it but he eventually disguises it well enough for it to still be effective. All the best bend the rules.

that's true. joe calzaghe slightly bent the rules when he threw every punch with the inside of the gloves which is illegal. none of the refs stopped him because you can't stop greatness.

Yu can't be classed as "resisting" something which is not mandated on the Commission Rules and has never been done in boxing before. You could call it "ignoring"...like in the way of "don't bother me kid".... . Why should he have to be the only pro boxer in the world to kowtow to someone like Mayweather who always tries to get an advantage over his opponent, and WON'T fight him unless he has one.

This was going to be his advantage knowing that Manny P. had blamed his loss to Morales on that LATE blood taking, as well as Philippino psychology.

This is the dumbest comment I have heard to date.Manny Pacquiao ALWAYS tries to get advantages over his own opponents.He waits for them to take a loss,then he needs to feed his catchweight addiction.

Manny didn't try to ignore the testing that Floyd wants-he has resisted and made every foul excuse you can think of.In fact,currently while Floyd took time off from the sport,Manny opened his mouth and said he will "take tests in between rounds",but anyone with common sense will tell you this is posturing.If he would allow the testing in the first place,we would have a fight.Remember,he wouldn't even allow a 14 day cut-off date,yet we are supposed to believe he will want full random testing now-I wonder how he quickly ridded himself of his supposed phobias???

BTW,isn't it the commision's job to worry if a fighter comes in overweight? Because according to your theory,perhaps Manny shouldn't ask for $10 million per pound over the limit from Floyd,when Pac himself has been over the limit in the past.It is hypocrisy at its finest.

Spare me the sarcasm. You name the champ and I'll name the infraction. Stop picking and choosing the fighters you hate. Boxing is one of the few sports that I agree that "If you aint cheatin you aint tryin" minus roids and hand wraps. Forearms, measuring, belt line shots, turning, ducking extremely low, pushing for space, clinching, holding and hitting, occasional back hand, bikes, the Cotto scoop and dump, are all ok.

props to floyd for being "versatile" enough..........to duck true challenges.................

Damn STRUGGle do you ever get tired of lying????

[QADASHBANYAH]

just because ortiz defeated berto he is now a real challenge, come on...he required pacquiao for the test because they believe hes on peds and that floyd is embarking on a crusade to clean the sports of boxing yet when being called by the court for deposition he ducks. if they really believe that pacquiaos on peds they should welcome the court proceedings, where else can they best prove their allegation than in a court of law? its very clear that floyd dont want any of pacquiao as good and as astute as his advisor is he is only riding and encashing on the popularity of the one he claimed as a midget (when he is only an inch taller) he is only using pacquiao to make himself relevant, to sell his shows. hes not there to clean up the sports of boxing, hes there to clean up the the pockets of the gullibles and make it as a sport.

Because the court proceedings will not require manny to take a drug test.....When he goes to court it will be to see if any defamation went on or not... plain and simple ******...

the courts arent going to make him test, and if he doesnt test Floyd cant prove it right??

ITS A CATCH 22 AND FLOYD HASNT WENT TO COURT BECAUSE HIS LAWYERS ARE PREPPING A LOOPHOLE FOR HIM.... FLOYD ISNT DODGING, ITS OBVIOUS HIS LAWYERS HAVE HIM STALLING............
