    For one thing i don't recall any trainer really making a point of it to the ref or even media before a fight. I'm at a loss as to why. If you can get into the ref's head even a tiny bit to look for certain tactics it can't hurt.

    Mayweather's defense is close to impentrable when he executes it legally, let alone when turns his back etc.

    You would expect Roach to bring it up, but i don't recall if he did when he was in Oscar's corner.

    Unless it's brought up enough before the fight i doubt we'll see a referee doing anything about it because as you pointed out nothing has been done before.

    At the higher weight you are right he has never been as quick as he was below 140. That just happened when he moved up he lost speed.

    Pacquaio has SLASHING punches that breaksdown a fighter. Usually Floyd will come inside LATE in the fight after he has his opponent frustrated and tired.Might we see him on the inside INVOLUNTARILY on March 13th? Possibly. Pacquaio will keep touching Mayweather with rangefinding punches, normally straight lefts. He ALTERNATES the power and the angles of his punches CONFUSING DLH, Cotto, Marquez.Mayweather got a point taken away from illegal elbowing creating space for himself in the first Castillo fight.

    I'm in agreement with this statement. If his tactics were soooo illegal all the trainers that have trained fighters to fight against PBF would be crying about his illegal tactic. So far I have not heard 1 trainer mention it. Unless fightbeat posters/geeks know more about the fight game then them. I'll Holla 5000

    They do whinge, they do scream, they do make it known if an opponent of thier fighter indulges in illegal tactics, (it makes fuck all difference, but then again, how can you take them seriously? since they never would make it known when thier own fighter indulges in illegal tactics,... and what's the source they referr to when they hypocritically choose to make it known that an opponent is indulging in illegal tactics?....what's it defined by?... ahhh,... the rules of boxing ofcourse,.. das da one, das da one!,..das da source,......care to take a read of it sometime?..
    Now, your agenda is to preserve Fraud winning by any means neccesary, for personal reasons that have nothing to do with the sport, so when we create a scenario of Fraud losing to the most undesireable opponent possible (a European fighter) , and it's a loss as a result of a style that relies on breaking multiple rules to succeed,.. what would you say as the horrifying reality unfolded infront of you, and the pale fighter takes away Fraud's '0' ?,..I think, you wouldn't have the same stance on the matter anymore,...Im sure you would exhume the appropriate clear, unpoliticised sentences of the official rules of boxing, that could have protected your man, from the injustice of defeat. So in that sense, Im sure you, just like certain trainers would use the rules if it benefits the outcome, and equally break the rules if it benefits the outcome. It's opportunism Bigdawg, and your opinion favors opportunism, and your fighter, Fraud, favors opportunism too.

    But why though? It's a mystery. Any other fighter that fights dirt or "bends" the rules in some way gets called out on it, even if not consistently.

    Why has Floyd never been brought up on it? It's weird.

    He will cry if it is brought up. Floyd is more child and retard hybrid than man.

    Is that why? Because they know he'll cry, and don't want to spoil the event? :lol:

    Sometimes Floyd bends under the waist but you guys are exaggerating with that 50% bullshit. If that was the case he would certainly be called on that already. It's like Hopkins hold and hit, it's done only at special times when he knows the ref ain't likely to call it.

    Not really. Around 50% of the time that Flid does a proper shoulder roll, he either sort of turns his back on his opponent, or bends right down below the waist.

    I dont know what a 'legal' shoulder roll is supposed to look like either, if anyone is referring to Toney, nup, that aint 'legal' either, he turns his back too, that's why I celebrated when Rahman fucked his kidneys up, that was beautiful. The problem with Fraud is, he's not inside long enough to crack those kidneys, he'll never suffer the consequences unless Pacquioa trains specifically for it,.. it'd be so fucken stupid if Roach is working on Manny hitting the head or body from a legal conventional stance because it's not going to be there,.. he's got to train to time the back of the head, or an overhand strike to the kidneys / spine, and that's it, because this is not a normal situation.

    Yeah but in Pacquiao, Mayweather will be facing a guy with faster hands. As long as Mayweather isn't able to slaughter Pacquiao with one clean punch after another, he could easily lose a decision, if for no other reason than that Pacquiao's hands are faster.

    I can see Mayweather being able to land some good shots here and there, but I don't see him taking over like he normally does. And I don't see Pacquiao getting discouraged the way opponents normally do.

    But what can Pacquiao do with a bench?.. Fraud's also got a Paul Williams reach, so he'll be potting and sprinting,.. and winning the fringe game,.. that only leaves Pacquiao with two options,..get in close, and then time the back of the head or the kidneys,..there's nothing else,.. unless the referee enforces the fucking rules?,....:lol::lol::lol:
