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.
