I lost all respect for Maidana and Robert Garcia

Maidana came really close to getting DQ'd against Soto-Karass. He lost a point against Khan for throwing an elbow. This isn't something new they did against Floyd. Maidana has always been this type of fighter.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Pushing is against the rules and Khan does it. Ward leads with his head all the time and refs consider it "accidental headbutts". Anytime someone gets close to Floyd he pushes them off with his elbows/forearms or clinches immediately. Remember the Ricky Hatton fight? Anytime Ricky Hatton got inside Floyd hugged him until Joe Cortez broke it up...That isn't playing by the rules.Comment

mayweather is one of the cleanest fighters in boxing. i have watched all his pro fights and he has never once used his elbow.
what you are referring to is him using his forearm, which is obviously very different. haters always say elbow to make it out to be worse than it really is. but even when he does use his FOREARM its not an aggressive move, he does it to keep guys from headbutting him which no reasonable person would have a problem with.
edit: and mayweather won the fight handily, it wasnt close at all. the first half was close, but then floyd took over and clearly separated himself from maidana down the stretch.
He definitely uses his elbow at times.Comment

Angry? I thought you were talking about the one with knee attempt. Yes its choppy, but the first one even choppy the punch could have landed on belt line. Maidana must have no balls if he can take a punch like that with no reaction.Comment
