Pushing is not legal in boxing right?

so Floyd Mayweather pushing with elbows is acceptable ? … he even swings it occasionally.

  • That video is retarded IMO.

    Floyd knocked Marquez down with a precise left hook, yet this video acts like an elbow or push did it. That’s completely ignorant and shows the video makers lack of knowledge.

    Floyd has never been deducted for elbows, or any foul for that matter. He fights fair and square.

    Mayweather would dominate anyone in that video, and he doesn’t use his elbow in a malicious way. He uses it as a measuring stick if anything. Anyone who has watched Boxing for a decent amount of time can tell that Floyd is doing nothing malicious.

  • LOL @ whoever made that video. First off, it IS legal to push your opponents off of you if they are trying to clinch and hug, boxers do it all the time. Secondly, The only time where it looked like he threw the elbow to strike was at 0:12, but if you look again Floyd was trying to throw a hook but Hatton hit Floyd in the face with a counter right hand. I agree Floyd can get aggressive with pushing his forearms in the face of his opponents, but it’s up to the ref to deduct a point for that (oh yeah, the refs are on Mayweather’s payroll, right? -_-).

    And with the Hatton fight, Hatton was clearly the dirtier fighter with his constant clinching, throwing Floyd around and punching behind the head. When you fight dirty, expect some dirtiness in retaliation.

    “But Floyd Mayweather is one hell of a fighter. He used the right tactics and he wasn’t scared when we got in close to give me a bit of the rough stuff back. That’s what a good champion is all about.” -Ricky Hatton
