In Your Opinion Did Floyd Run Tonight?

I love the way people accuse Floyd of running! Try getting in a boxing ring, and try to do what he does! You'll soon find that's it's an extremely difficult skill and requires such a rediculously high level of fitness. I think many forget the art of boxing is to hit and not get hit, and Floyd is quite simply a master of the art form. Getting in the ring and sparring has made me appreciate what Floyd does even more than before. You'll understand what I'm saying if you're ever caught on the ropes with someone throwing bombs at you! :boxing:

Hatton was pressuring too much for Floyd to run, but Floyd did stay on the ropes too much

lmao, nice one. So do you think this fight helps convince people that Mayweather can very well fight on his back leg just like his front? I think it should show that he is not always the runner everyone makes him out to be, i think that is a negative perception that floyd haters have put on him, he has been the agressor in many fights and people ignore that. For example he was the agressor in the zab judah fight and in the early rounds of castillo mayweather 1

He did run!!! Straight over the top of hatton!!! lmao, nice one. So do you think this fight helps convince people that Mayweather can very well fight on his back leg just like his front?

I don't see how he ever runs honestly. He's just using the ring to his advantage. Calderon does more "running" then Floyd does, but hell I love Calderon. The only fight I could see him "running" in was the baldomir fight. That's it.

theres no such a thing as a runner in boxing. you dont become p4p fighter by running. actually you cant become a boxer by 'running'' in a limited space.

No he didn't because Hatton didn't let him move around too much.

.. He couldn't, most of the fight was either fought in the middle of the ring or with Hatton pushing him into the ropes. yeah i agree i don't think he ran, he was pressured into the ropes a lot of the fight and held his ground, maybe in the earlier rounds he moved a bit more waiting to potshot but i wouldn't say he ran

I think Mayweather did to a certain extent, but it wasn't as noticeable as it may have been in previous fights where he was accused of it because Hatton gave chase as if he was a bull seeing red.
