Run Floyd Run!!!

[jswa17]

Everyone thinks if Delahoya catches Mayweather with a lefthook it will be over but I'm going to laugh my ass off if Delahoya lands and Mayweather is still standing.

Mayweather's chin is underrated. He was stunned twice from southpaws but recovered fast enough to avoid everything Judah and Corley followed up with.

those were straight punches from less powerful fighters.

I say DLH lefthook flush on Floyd's chin sends Flyod to lala land

yeah i see floyd running in the later rounds.

he just built his stamina to last that long. he wont engage with dlh.

while i agree with some of your points, i don't agree with the quoted above.

he will HAVE TO move constantly if he wants to win, and he won't be able to punish Oscar like he did against many fighters including Corrales, N'Dou, Gatti, etc.

he could punish those guys only because he KNEW he could hurt them. With oscar, he will find out very early in the fight that he can't hurt him.

He will have to pot shot like he did against Castillo and Baldomir if he wants the victory.

i agree he'll have to move, but no run like many of you think. i believe he will punish oscar after he feels him out, because floyd can take advantage of oscar's footwork. oscar has okay footwork but he does slip up a lot with his feet and body positioning and floyd knows this well i'm pretty sure. oscar's upperbpdy movement is slow compared to floyds also, and he's no really a counterpuncher like floyd, although oscar can counter pretty good, his upperbody movement will bo too slow to counter floyd, and floyd have to be moving to counter oscar like people think he will because of his quick upperbody movement, and i feel many people will be surprised when floyd doesn't run like you say. i'm not saying he'll sit and trade with oscar like that, but he'll stand still and counter over oscar a lot, then he'll move away or in another secure position. just watch. floyd does this very well. floyd will take his time against oscar and pick his shots effectively. oscar will be surprised by this imo and it'll throw him off, causing him to look for the left hook more, and that's when floyd will flip the switch again. it's mind over matter. floyd is smarter than oscar de la hoya in the ring, and oscar is far from a dumby in the ring. oscar will look to pressure floyd but floyd knows oscar is slower in the upperbody than floyd is, and he'll time him right. oscar, i'm sure will attempt to counter the counterpuches by floyd but is too defensive for that. he'll make oscar throw big punches and then attack him either with a potshot or small combination all night, and this will be another part of his punishment of oscar that night.

Stand and Fight, PBF!

If Mayweather would stand and fight, it would silence many of his critics. But whenever he has, like in the fights with Judah and Castillo, he's been hurt. He knows he's rather fragile, so he runs and avoids being hit.

So what your saying is he needs to stand there and get hit?

I saying the poor guy has no choice but to run because he's fragile. If he exchanged punches like Pacquiao, he'd get KOed. He wouldn't have won all those decisions if he stood and exchanged punches.

well the fight's over and floyd won, and just like i posted, he took his time, and chose his shots wisely. he adjusted to oscar and his upperbpdy movement was too fast for oscar as well as his footwork. i know how floyd fights. i've watched him since amateurs. he's a master in the ring.

You know great Defense aside, he's taken hard shots from alot of strong opposition & I've never seen him truely hurt, & being such an ellusive fighter the shots he usually gets hit with are fast hard shots he barely see coming, which are the type of shots most likely to hurt someone, if you're toe to toe you can see punches coming & prepare for them, so I don't see how you'd say he's fragile.

Then you obviously didn't see all his fights. Someone posted a youtube video up where he hurt a black dude and the black dude hurt floyd. You could tell both were hurt in that round. I wish I knew what fight it was but floyd was getting hit hard as hell by this black dude, and he even had floyd on the ropes for awhile and looked like he was about to ko floyd, but the dumb ass looked like he gassed out. And no it wasn't judah, this guy was really getting to floyd.

I've seen that fight & the youtube vid, If I recall it was Corley, it was a great fight bet he wasn't that hurt, he recovered real quick & that youtube vid only showed the same exchange in the same round over & over again, so don't bring it up if you haven't seem the whole fight.
