I dont hate on Floyd, but rules are rules. I definately think there was favortism shown, because it was a huge fight, and nobody wants to see it end like that. Floyd should have been d/q'd. You trying to say you didnt see Roger Mayweather jump into the ring first? Roger gets special treatment? If that same thing happened during say the opening fight, it would have been stopped.
I do would agree that it should have been stopped and that they did kind of dodge a bullet by nothing happening after the incident. It could have been a complete black mark on boxing had they let it continue and something more serious was to occur instead of the less than amazing finish to the fight. It is the jumping in you logic that kind of gets me,
1. Floyd was playing up the low blows
2. Floyd is as dirty a fighter as most
3. Floyd should have been DQ'd
While all those are true it starts out leading with what Floyd himself did and concluding with final serious offense, something his trainer did. It comes down to trying to give him an asterisk on the record. It's like trying to bring up Roy Jones Jr. DQ loss in saying he wasn't as good as people like to think. Neither of the justified DQ's says much of anything about the two fighters.
I do think it was a display of favoritism but it really isn't something to be held against Floyd. He does have his share of real things that can be held against him though.

I dont know what the hell your argueing about? So why make rules if your just going to break them when its convienient. Roger Mayweather knows that rule, he has no right to interfer with the ref like that, let the ref handle the fight. I'm not trying to say Mayweather is crap because he should have been d/q'd vs Judah, he wasnt the one jumping on the canvas. Quit trying to defend Mayweather on this its kinda making you look like a fanboy.
What do I have to defend Floyd from in this situation? His uncle is a dumb ass who should have got his fighter disqualified. Maybe I read into your post wrong but it sounded like you were trying to tie Floyd's using the elbow and playing up a low blow to Roger's situation to make him look dishonorable in the ring. In another post this thread you sound like you are okay with Judah "sucker punching" Ellerbe, I guess when it's convenient right? I'm not a fan boy of any fighter, not really sure where you got that, is it an automatic response?
Dont get offended...lol I talk alot of shit. Its this new thing called sarcastic humor, you should look it up or something. Floyd is a great fighter and if you read any of my old posts about its usually giving props when its due. I'm definately gonna call him out when he does stupid shit, which is frequent. Floyd sticks his elbow out to defend sometimes, you dont think so? I call em how I see em.
No offense taken, admittedly I can confuse sarcasm and hyperbole for some of the posts where people seem to have a little too much emotional investment in disliking a fighter. Floyd does use the elbows. While he probably isn't any dirtier a fighter than the norm, it is a bit strange he never ran into a referee that was bothered by it. While you may never get to see video footage of it again somehow I don't think that will be the last time Ellerbe gets punched in his life. While Judah man never live up to Floyd in the ring, in my opinion he does stupid in a much more entertaining manner.
