Should Floyd be penalized for turning his back to opponents?

[Croyd]

During the Floyd vs Canelo fight, Floyd was doing a lot of shoulder rolls for defense.
Floyd exaggerated them so much that Canelo was landing shots on Floyd's back.
Floyd cried to the ref and Canelo got a warning.
Isn't it illegal not to face your opponent?
Don't you get disqualified if you keep turning your back to the opponent?

No he shouldn't be penalized for turning his shoulder too far but neither should his opponent for hitting him in the back if he offers it. That's a pretty self-solving problem if the ref just stays out.

What about his flagrant elbows on the inside to an opponent's face that are worse than pushing an opponent. Clearly not a boxing move. It's equivalent to having your glove in someone's face while not punching to hinder their view.

Ask yourself what other fighters has done that to the extent Floyd routinely does.

He saw Canelo great snake and he just wanted to rub his butt against it.

That's pretty much my thought on it. A good trainer might want to mention that before the fight. "If Floyd doesn't want to get hit in the back he shouldn't be backwards." then proceed to hit him when he does it.
