For so-called fans of the sport, y'all never seem to know any of the rules.
Rules of Boxing
The rules of boxing vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and on whether it is an amateur or professional bout. A violation of the following rules is considered a foul, and can result in a warning, point deduction, or disqualification by the referee:
- You cannot hit below the belt, hold, trip, kick, headbutt, wrestle, bite, spit on, or push your opponent.
- You cannot hit with an open glove, the inside of the glove, the wrist, the backhand, or the side of the hand.
- You can't hold your opponent and hit him at the same time, or duck so low that your head is below your opponent's belt line.

But, its Floyd...so you turn a blind eye.
I've bolded the important bit in case you missed it.

Inconsistent calling of fouls does not negate the fact that they happen. How many other sports get away with missing violations of their rules? I know that's how boxing is, and its a plague in our sport but lets not pretend like it doesn't happen even though it shouldn't. They don't call it the most corrupt sport for no reason.
I find it hypocritical how many of these "fans" say its fine when Floyd fouls, but cry whenever anyone else does. Its fanboy-ism at its finest.
Your avatar is weird. Of course you would say that, you're a Floyd nuthugger and dishonest person. Manny hurt Floyd a couple of times, admitted by Floyd himself. This shows how much of an idiot you are. There is a reason Floyd was running and scared to walk Manny down. Manny knocked Floyd's head off with a counter right hand that sent Floyd off balance into the corner. Hadn't the ropes been there, he may of went down. What fight did you watch? And why didn't Manny hit Floyd more? Because Floyd fought like a coward and rich businessman. That's why. FACT. You should leave the site with this type of biased insight. You only saw what you wanted to see. I bet you think Floyd was in control of the fight and was jabbing Manny all night. ey? How many times did Floyd snap Manny's head back like he is used to doing? NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F U.
Why is my avatar weird?
I like boxing as a whole more than any one fighter. As a person I really don't even like Floyd, but I'm not blind either. Manny couldn't figure out what to do offensively and was worried about Floyd's right all night long. Manny was also 100% more concerned with his own defense than mounting a meaningful offense. Every gif in the world of every time Manny connected does not change it. It's history. It's over.
I'm sick of both of those guys. There are younger, hungrier fighters I'd rather watch and see rise up in the sport. Floyd and Manny are just clogging the bandwidth at this point.
I think Manny is an all time great fighter, but you're bringing the bias into this exchange.

Funny that you're on your soapbox when a fight hasn't gone your way....

Floyd beat Manny. Thats the reality of boxing, somebody is gonna win, somebody gotta lose. Youre not going to change the outcome posting the rules. Pac had his shot, he lost to Mayweather.
