    Yes it's illegal. It's against the rules, so he should be called up on it by the ref.
    Thing is though, he never is, and never will be.

      This is literally what all Mayweather/Broner fans believe.

      These are the same fans that said "Ortiz deserve that hes a cheat and dirty"
      It's not veteran tactics when Ortiz cheats bro, it's only veteran tactics when Hopkins, Ward, Floyd, Broner, and Bradley do it.

        Didn't Tyson Fury use Floyds signature elbow move against Cunningham in his last fight before koing CUnningham and there were complaints left, right and centre, even Cunningham complaining.?

        That's the grief Tyson gets for using it once. Whereas Floyd uses it all the time, otherwise he wouldn't be able to win his fight.s

          I remember Corley started complaining about the elbow mid fight and PBF told him to stop crying and fight. It's illegal, but he uses it in such a clever way it becomes more of a gray area of stuff allowed because boxing isn't a patsy sport. He also does that neck pull down thing and I know Mosley in the past says when he keeps doing that it makes your neck hurt.

          Since he's allowed to do it, I would suggest other fighters try and get even and find ways they can also circumvent the rules. If someone isn't gonna fight you by the book then you might as well throw everything out of the window.

              He's been doing it almost his whole career and getting away with it so he's not going to stop now

                The great thing I love about that elbow is you need a slo mo rose tinted glasses to see it, he has perfect it so much that most of the refs can't even tell when he has it stuck in his opponents faces, the way Hatton was eating those elbows was a thing of beauty lol..

                  its not legal, floyd gets away with it. cortez was a joke in that fight. but hey, its floyd mayweather, your not going to beat him unless you knock him out cold, and even then im sure they would find a way to give floyd the win!!!! viva al haymon.

                    However, the officials protect the money (excuse the pun) so they get away with it.
                    Yeah because floyd was always the cash cow. Still cant let hatton getting knocked out go huh
