Well there's a way to be defensive without trotting across the damn ring. Look at fighters like Whitaker and James Tony for example. They were able to stand right in front of you and make you miss while firing off counters. Even Pacquaio has some good side to side and bobbing/weaving movement all the while staying right there in the pocket and firing off his offense.
Now Floyd has beens standing his ground much more lately but the 12th round was a disgrace with the way he ran around that ring.
Whitaker stood in the pocket a lot but there were fights were e fought the entirely on the back foot. Go and check out Ramirez 1 for example.
Floyd fights on the Back foot in many instances. There's also many where he doesn't.
Pep did move, a lot. A lot more than Floyd does.
Look at a fighter like Ali, he moved a whole lot, and held a lot aswell.
I wonder how many people on here have seen the second Frazier fight?
Yeah because 2 little sequences really prove him wrong :rolleyes:
He said Bayless broke them up every time a punch was thrown (I'm assuming by Maidana). That is not true. Don't be mad man.

I don't think Floyd's a runner at all, he moves quite a bit but he's not Lara. That 12th round was pretty bad and could be considered running, but he's not a runner.
Ahaha Bayless jumping in there every time someone throws a punch in the video
That fight is forever tainted, you can't even show some clips to analyze without Bayless flying onto the screen "WHOA NO TOUCHING"
Roberto Duran >>> Maidana
When you can stay on the outside and box Duran to take rounds off him you motherfcking do it.
Who has stayed in with Maidana and won? Alexander clinched his way to a victory and Khan was circling ("running") around all night.
