Peterson cannot and did not regularly and consistently do... And no, Vegas judges wouldn't have treated him kindly if he used Peterson's poor man's defensive tactics.

I like how in the second gif you posted you can clearly see Floyd slip almost all of Manny's punches until Manny gets a little desperate and tries to hold Floyd's head down with his forearm and hit him with his free hand. But of course that's a perfectly legit tactic in their eyes ... haha ... since when is holding and hitting cool?

Did I miss anything?

I see the point you're trying to make but it's wrong. I'm not going to go back and rewatch Garcia Peterson but that fight was a majority decision. I'm not going by the first six rounds, I'm going by the entire fight. Garcia BARELY won and many thought he really lost. A fight doesn't end at 6 rounds, it ends at 12. Plus Peterson's punch output was too low which is probably why he lost. He barely outlanded Garcia. If that was Floyd he may or may not have gotten the benefit of the doubt from the judges but like I said I believe Peterson was the true winner in that fight as I believe Floyd is the true winner in his fight with Manny. The DIFFERENCE between those fights is that Floyd did more comparatively than Peterson did.

Well, I brought up the example, so I should know what the example was about. I pointed it out in each of my posts. It was about the first 6 rounds. Peterson did not get credit for his movement. You brought up that movement constituted ring generalship. So I used that and the Lara fight as examples.

Notice how others need to work to win a round? Floyd gets all the close ones and some where Floyd should not have won. Being that the fights are fought in Vegas has something to do with that. Peterson, for example, finally got credit for his rounds but that happened only when he became the aggressor and hit Garcia with hard clean punches. Floyd didn't do that in some of those close rounds that the Vegas judges gave him. Floyd gets those rounds by default.

I think you needed to read the last few posts to understand. Initially it was about the Floyd fan saying "Floyd's movement gave him the ring generalship" credit. I used Peterson and Lara to point out that you need to do more than just move.

then I added this:
Vegas being bias. If Floyd did the same as Peterson in those first 6 rounds, I bet you that no way the Vegas judges would have given Garcia a 5-1 and 6-0 lead over Floyd. NO WAY!!!

Why wouldn't they ? they gave Maidana credit for his work in the early rounds in the first fight. Floyd was at like a 4-2, maybe 5-1 defecit, going into the 6th against Maidana. Heck one judge even scored the fight for Maidana IN VEGAS! Lets not forget about the Canelo "draw" either In Vegas... if Floyd ran around like a chicken with his head cut off for 6 rounds, refused to engage and got outlanded.. while throwing and missing somewhere around 10 punches per... you'd better believe he doesn't get credit for those rounds. But you are going to believe what you want I'm sure... Just look at the Maidana scorecards keep in mind IN VEGAS!!!!!!

and if we don't keep responding they are going to be set free into the other threads... I'd much rather put in my 20 minutes a day of mindless back and forth with them and keep them contained to one area for the sake of the realm...

I'm done really and I've had to repeat the same thing. Just to add, these two particular posters aren't acting any different before the fight was signed, it's no coincidence we're seeing it again.

They're opinion doesn't really differ from your own, it's more that they enjoy going back and forth. It's useless really.

You are not accurate in your statement. 2 of the 3 judges had Maidana losing 4-2. Only one judge had Maidana correctly up in the scores. If you check, the 2 judges who reside in Vegas, they had Floyd ahead while the one who had Maidana up resides somewhere else in USA .... and no, none of the judges gave the fight to Maidana. The closest that he could get is that one non-Vegas judge to give him a draw.

Then one of the Vegas judges from fight 1 that gave no credit to Maidana for his great work in those first 6 rounds ends up doing the 2nd fight. That is wrong! Who? Dave Moretti, Floyd's go to judge, is back to judge that one and again the Manny Pacquiao fight. Something smells ........

Nope. Sounds about right. He has mastered the default way of hugging when he turns into a cat who's cornered in an alley. He either performs his 2 best default option, to hug or to run.

Here is the video to showcase his mastery. Enjoy.
