Edgar is the epitome of a point fighter and it's laughable that people try to say he isn't. Great, he managed to knock Maynard out, does that mean Sonnen is a bjj specialist after what he did to Stann? It's not about guys being difficult to put away, it's about what a fighter tries to do in the octagon. Some guys come to fight and that's what we get to see, regardless of whether they got a finish or not. Frankie Edgar comes to score points.
I sort of agree with you here, though I always felt Edgar was more of a "safe" fighter than a point fighter. His wrestling is good so he takes guys down. His BJJ not so much, so he typically just gives up the top position and returns to his feet. He does have power, though he chooses not to pursue when he gets in a good shot (Maynard 3 being the one exception, and he definitely hesitated even in that instance.)
When has Edgar ever done anything with a takedown? When has he not attempted a purely point scoring takedown with less than a minute in the round? When has he committed to landing a hard punch? When has he stood in the pocket and banged?
Edgar scores takedowns and immediately backs away and lets his opponent up. He rarely, if ever, attempts anything on the ground. He always spams takedowns at the end of rounds in order to steal that round. I don't know if I've ever seen him throw punches with bad intentions before. He looks to outscore his opponents and that's it.
Face it, Edgar is out there to sway the judges any way he can, he's admitted as much before. Stop denying the reality of things.
There's a world of difference between a guy like Jim Miller or Ben Henderson's decisions and Frankie Edgar's decisions.
