Why do people say Mayweather runs??

Mayweather has mastered the art of Boxing. He is at the next level. No boxer wins fights running. He would be in the same predicament if he did. Non Fans just need something to argue. It wouldn't be fair if they didn't have anything to argue about. He hits hard. He is at complete peace and fully relaxed in the ring. A lot of boxers get that rush in the first few rounds. He doesn't get that. So many judges cant be wrong. His reflexes have surpassed all others in the sport. And its because he hardly gets hit. Look at his facial expression in the DLH fight. That man was scared as fuck the whole fight.

Poet, I'm questioning your boxing knowledge, and questioning how many Mayweather fights you have actually seen. Something tells me that the first PBF fight you have seen was either Pretty Risky or The World Awaits. If I may, I'd like to ask you the fights where PBF "ran" when he wasn't fighting a man 15-20 pounds bigger. Have you seen the bulk of FMJ's fights over his career? Genaro? Chavez? Gatti? Corley? Corrales? Judah? Sharmba? etc. Was he "running" in those fights? If you are going to blame somebody for "punking out", maybe you should look in Oscar's direction. Oscar said : "I'm gonna make this a rough, tough, dirty fight", "The referee is going to have to warn me a couple of times", "When I touch you, "You're gonna hurt for a week", etc. OSCAR WAS THE BIGGER MAN. So, if Oscar couldn't impose his will on a guy two divisions smaller than himself, who is to blame? Oscar dictated a small ring and puncher's gloves. What did he do with all those advantages? Why did Oscar stop throwing once he got countered? The only one who got buckled in the fight was Oscar. True Story. Get your facts right, mijo. Here is PBF "running" against Baldomir: http://youtube.com/watch?v=hECeVAIXYBs This is a very good call. It's not like Mayweather has boxed and moved his whole career. But (literally) 12 fights ago, he was fighting at 130 pounds against Jesus Chavez. He fought 4 times at 135, 3 times at 140, 3 times at 147 and once at 154. There is NO fucking way his body has grown enough to be able to bang with the big boys at 154. But regardless, he does move a lot now, but it's not like he steps out of the way of punches and does nothing... the majority of his offense is generated from counterpunching opportunities when he does duck and slip punches. By the way, if you want to see Mayweather when he is not boxing and moving, watch the Gatti or N'dou fight. He stands right in front of them and destroys them, because he knew that one of their shots wouldn't be devastating, but at 154, it could be, so that is why he moved.

"cause in britain moving is a bad thing like during the revolutionary war the stupid british soldiers stood in the middle of a field and fired their guns while the smart americans hid behind stuff and just picked them off. my best analogy ever!" You're a fucking retard. This forum is supposed to be about boxing, so why bring up war - obviously a subject you have no knowledge of? The americans "hid behind stuff and picked them off" -haha. You fucking moron.

These arguments for why Mayweather "runs" are weak. He does avoid being hit but, where is the logic behind standing and waiting to be hit? Who'd do that? No one with a brain. You can not call someone a runner because they use their talent and head to win a fight. Good for him that he has never been KO'd, has an undefeated record, rarely take hits and still has the ability to damage his opponents, both mentally and physically. That does not make for a mediocre fighter in ANYONE'S book. It should not anyway because that is real skill, both physically and technically. Why is a fighter better because he decides to wait to be hit? Do tell.

Judah cracked him and he stayed really composed. But Judah isn't exactly Mike Tyson when it comes to power either. He took a flush Oscar left hook at the end of the 12th round too, and continued to throw, which is pretty impressive for a welterweight who just moved up.

Floyd has been hit before. To think he has a weak chin when he's never touched the canvas is retarded. Well obviously because he's never been hit by a legit flush power shot.

Why would any boxer want to trade punches. To see who can take the harder punch? I think that's just plain foolish?

From What I remember so was FLOYD MAYWEATHER...:lol1: if you seen both fights, Mayweather was briefly stunned, whereas cotto looked like he was about the hit the canvas in bad fashion but recovered after about 45 seconds or something like that.

thats funny you just described how the world sees americans lol. sad but true... anyway mayweather doesnt run, he boxes. he hits and doesnt get hit. whats the sport called again??

Andre Dirrell did. How many belts does he have?

From what I remember Cotto was hurt bad against Demarcus Chop Chop Corely. From What I remember so was FLOYD MAYWEATHER...:lol1:

Hey calm down chilllll. I didnt say Hagler duran hatton and cotto are boring to watch. I said I love watching them fight but I much rather see fighters like Leonard Ray Robinson Mayweather Sweet peas. I like seeing defensive/Counter Punchers make top fighter who are brawlers look bad I am calm, just because I differ from you doesn't mean I'm pissed, LOL. You actually said that if everyone fought like them boxing wouldn't be any fun to watch, can you imagine how fun it would be if everyone fought like PBF? I would probably pick up Fencing myself! And those guys you mentioned have fought their counterpunchers and movers as well, not always does the better technician wins, sometimes you know what's coming but still you can't do shit about it because of it being so much! Picture it like a pitcher who throws a 100+ miles per hour fast ball, you know what's coming but what can you do about it?

From what I remember Cotto was hurt bad against Demarcus Chop Chop Corely.

Because he wont TRADE with anyone..(smart Move I guess) and some people call that a PUSSY move.. I think he has a weak Chin.. and has learned a way to compensate for his weakness.. It might not be fan pleasing.. but it's effective... You cant Fault someone for using WHAT they have to good effect.. He has good chin because of his training you could tell. yes sometime some shot comes unexpectly that stunts you doens have to be hard Why do people say Mayweather runs? Maybe because he does? He ran like like fuck against De La Hoya, and this after he said he was going to stand and punch it out with Oscar. People wouldn't mind his style so much if he would just back up his mouth with action. Don't talk smack and then punk out on what you've said. Poet Well if you think running is part of boxing that let his oppenet out smart him and outwork him to get to him? why never anyone could have caught with him? even guys who are faster than him like Judah. He was standing toe2toe against DHL couple of time and Oscar couldnt hurt him because Floyd knows his stuff, he burned Oscar out

DLH didnt do anything and forced Mayweather into the ropes. DLH was being to predictable and thats why PBF fought him the way he did.

I think you missed his point. People who leave Britain = smart. People who live in America = Americans. fair doos lol.

cause in britain moving is a bad thing like during the revolutionary war the stupid british soldiers stood in the middle of a field and fired their guns while the smart americans hid behind stuff and just picked them off. my best analogy ever! you thick idiot, was it not the British immigrants who wanted independance from the homeland who fought against the British citizens loyal to the homeland

Mayweather doesn't run, he avoids shots and counters as you said, he's a smart fighter. As far as Hatton, Cotto, Hagler and Duran being boring fighters, maybe you should try following Fencing, boxing is a sport of guts and determination. Hey calm down chilllll.
