Yeah he is horrid

I think Floyd is annoying just because sometimes he won't engage in fighting at all he'll just move....which is just as bad as holding.
Anything that keeps punches from being thrown is bad.
Moving is just as bad as holding?? Using footwork and ring generalship to create space equates to being no more entertaining then mauling and hugging in your book huh Lyle??
I gotta agree - holding has always been, and probably always will be, an integral part of the sport. It can be used just as effectively as footwork and movement. Used to an extreme, it creates a boring fight - just like too much movement ends up looking like dancing. Either one in excess is just an excuse not to engage.
