For years on this very forum and throughout boxing media wasn't the word and agreed tactic to beat Floyd was fight him rough, dirty, bend the rules? Hit him in his arms, shoulders, try to get him to break his hands, foul, lowblows, headbutt if necessary, use elbows if necessary?
Stay in close, mug him, grab him, hit him with flying knees?? They even identified the fighters who could best do this to Floyd, guys like Margarito, prime Chavez, etc...and when Maidana fought Floyd and did precisely what the fans demanded, (foul, knee, rabbit punch, arms, legs, tackles, etc...) these fans celebrated the effort and argued for years that Maidana should of won the fight!!
Reality is Floyd took over that fight after the 5th but that was ignored in preference of Maidana's fouls! So this guy Jeff Horn does those exact tactics against Manny, Makes his life hell, and successfully earns the victory and now they want to protest, complain, and claim he should of been DQ'd! So dirty tactics are only acceptable against Floyd but if its done to Manny its wrong? This is why I have issues with extreme Pac fans, something is wrong with ya'll eyes and minds
