Why do people say Floyd Mayweather runs when he fights in the pocket?

WOW .. even non racist people see color u jus cant look at someone and not see there color... u might not judge them based on color but u no u see it...but floyd the first black athlete to make it big in boxing..i mean MONEY wise no body is getting paid like he is

There was also Ali. For his time he made it big financially. He was a bigger draw, and more popular. Floyd is not the only black athlete to make it in boxing. Sugar Shane has been in more high profile fights, he is just not as flamboyant abot it. You don't hink he made crazy money fighting Oscar twice,Vargas twice, Winky twice. Shane is financially just as big if not bigger you would just never know because he doesn't flaunt it.

I reviewed my extensive fight catalog on PBF and 90% of Floyd Mayweathers fights he's fighting in the pocket,why does everyone claims he's a runner??? His defense is impeccable and his boxing skills bar none is the best in boxing right now, he's gets on some nerves with his ****y,arrogant,bragging and money throwing(making it rain)ways but lets keep it real PBF is the MAN and at the end of the day he's P4P the best boxing has to offer over all. P.S everyone doesnt have to be a knock out drag em down warrior to be the best GIVE ME YOUR VIEWS

Great observation and good post! This video clip says it all..

I'm just curious as to who actually bases their sports preferences on what color an athlete is?

For ****'s sake, I'm white, but if all I liked were white boxers, like would be damn boring. Who am I going to cheer on, Jason Litzau? No thanks.

The white man's top 5
Forrest - Black
Judah - Black
Mayorga - Latino
Mayweather - Black
Wright - Black (I think, although I have been curious, because he isn't very dark.)

Racists have no place in boxing... it is too diversified for them to even enjoy the sport (unless they just watch heavyweights, which would make them douchebags anyway).

for some people race is a BIG part of there life
n some white people do hate black people n vise versa..
but when u look at it, its just like barry bonds, mucheal vick and floyd mayweather...most black people support them and it is the white man that is always tryna bring them down...and then there is white people that dont care bout color...u cant lie alot of white people wanna put bonds in jail for steriods and say the home run record is tainted and more black people stand behind bonds same with vick n floyd... it jus how life is

Your telling me that he is more successful than Tyson. Tyson won the heavyweight title at 20. You included Oscar but Floyd is no where in Oscar's league as far as money, status,drawing power, and popularity. Oscar is the Tiger Woods of boxing, in that he draws the casual fan to boxing, or people who would not normally watch boxing. As Tiger does in Golf. Floyd doesn't fall into that category.

Race is manifested heavily within the mainstream consciousness, therefore it shouldn't be surprising that some people are aware of it as it concerns boxing, especially Latin people (namely Mexicans).. For example, I won't front, before May 5th, I liked Mayweather but I wasn't a fan. On that day I became a fan due to all of the hate he was receiving from other ethnicities and the fact that DeLahoya was trying to make an example of him in the name of an ethnic holiday. It was amusing to me how much that **** backfired with Floyd coming out with Mexican colors and a Sombrero (then of course Hatton's lame ass swagger jacked him) and still tapping that ass. I was relieved that my brotha wasn't a victim of someone else's ethnic pride, the fool represented by winning. That's as far as my racial awareness towards boxing has ever went though and only because me being proud of Floyd, not hating DLH..

Im hispanic, and I have nothin against Barry Bonds but he wouldn't have put up the numbers he did, had it not been for the steroids just likw when mark McGuire did it, s in that sense theses records are tainted. I like Michael Vick but what he did was ****** and he brought this all on himself. This has nothing to do with race because as you can see I included McGuire and that goes for anyone who uses performance enhacing drugs that break these records of all time greats that did it the right way.
