    What an excellent video.

    Mayweather annoys me outside of the ring more than anything, because he is a child.

    That doesn't make any sense. Ortiz was having his best round and backed up Floyd to the ropes when that all went down. Having his best moment, he decides to call it quits :confused:? Even thou Ortiz was losing, I thought he was holding his own against Floyd. He didn't look nearly as bad as other dudes who fought Money.

    Since when has Victor Ortiz acted rationally?

    I was arguing with my friend the night of the fight about this exact thing. He said Floyd was completely dominant and it was boring fight which, if it had continued, Floyd would have kept on easily dominating. I'm glad someone made a video like this, I think I might send it to my friend for the heck of it :p

    No - I never heard of the scandal where Floyd Mayweather bribed the USADA and the World Anti-Doping Agency.

    Can you please link me to it?

    Notwithstanding that this image is totally out of context - Do you actually know how to throw an elbow? I learned a bit back in the day when I was a rather crappy muay thai student.

    Protip:- if you throw an elbow, the key is to actually hit the guy with your elbow (preferably the end, in order to cut), rather than a forearm which doesn't do jack squat. Actually you can see Tony Jaa doing this in the .gif (not the one where he's jumping but the other one).

    You're comparing a fight where elbows are expected to one where you would have to try to use it subtly to get an advantage. You don't get the full power of an elbow but let Floyd land some forearms to your face and see how you like it.

    Maybe I wouldn't be trying to dry hump his thigh with both arms around his waist like Hatton is in that picture. Like I said before, that image is completely out of context, but it looks like he's usign his wrist to shove off a desperate, grabby Hatton. Why don't you guys pinpoint this critical elbow for me btw? Tons of footage of that fight on the youtube.

    And btw, If anybody thinks the difference between Mayweather and Hatton was a phantom elbow I just don't reallly know what to say, other than that I'd fidn their views interesting and would subscribe to their newsletter.

    You can't believe? in this page you have one poster claiming that Floyd Mayweather is preemptively masterminding a conspiracy to take over the national drug testing governing body and another few guys insinuating that he beat Ricky Hatton due to illegal elbows...he has gotten their goat good.
