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

Hank is the man and did it the right way in an era that didn't have all the supplements and technology of today, which makes what he did even more impressive and respectable. That is the reason he didn't want to support Barrys accomplishment in the beginning. I don't blame him seeing your record fall to someone who cheated the game.

Only thing that irked me really is that people were ready to crucify Barry before anything was even confirmed. Though it is apparent by now that Barry's achievements are a bit tarnished, for some strange reason I have a feeling that some are actually happy about it. I say that partly because he literally caught hell while closing in on Ruth but the water was calm all of a sudden that it died down and he started to catch Aaron..

he like argueing with you

Apparently..

Even in the Baldy fight and the De La Hoya fight, he wasn't running. He's a defensive fighter. That's it. I hate the idea that people need to be Arturo Gatti to be respected. He hardly has any QUICK foot movement these days, as a matter of fact. he COULD, he just stays there and rolls with the punches.

well i think floyd is having
and will end up with a better
carear then tyson .. n floyd is making way more money then tyson did
and if floyd wanted he could win all the belts in 1 weight class
but he moved up and kept winning belts tyson never did that

Dude,Tyson earned over 300 million. Get that head out your ass.hahahahahaha. More then Tyson?He'd have to fight like 12 times and earn 20million a fight for hmmm lets say 6 years,so 2 fights a year at 20million.(which we know Floyd would do)What the hell are you smoking.The most Tyson made in a match was 30million if Im not mistaken. Floyd will never touch those kind of number. Also if you did the math that would equal to him making 240 million to come close to Tyson,which I doubt he has 60 million.More like 40 million.

Tyson couldnt move up in weightclass because he was a heavyweight.

He was given the nickname "Pretty Boy" by his amateur teammates because his face never had cuts or bruises after fights—a result of the defensive techniques that his father (Floyd Mayweather Sr.) and uncle (Roger Mayweather) had taught him. In his orthodox defensive stance, Mayweather—much like James Toney—often utilizes the 'shoulder roll.' The shoulder roll is an old-school boxing technique in which the right hand is held normally or slightly higher than normal, the left hand is down around the midsection, and the lead shoulder is raised high on the cheek in order to cover the chin and block punches. The right hand (from orthodox stance) is used as it normally would be to block punches coming from the other side, such as left hooks. From this stance, Mayweather blocks, slips, and deflects most of his opponents' punches, even when cornered, by twisting left and right to the rhythm of their punches

What does that have to do with you saying that he makes more then Tyson did,*****. Are you on something? Too much of that white snow? Is is nighty night time?
Talking that Floyd is making more money then Tyson did.haha. Floyds biggest fight he got 20million,Tyson got that **** on a regular bases. Get your **** straight instead of looking lost and confused like you got Alzheimer's.
REMEMBER TYSON IN HIS CAREER MADE 300 MILLION.We're not talking about now,because the keyword you used was DID

Damn I hate calling and making the noobs look a fool,but ****,gotta put these hoes in there place.

Mayweather has a chance at beating Tysons 300 Million mark.. He has only BIG fights on the horizon. I could see him retiring after a close loss, or even undefeated, and coming back and get paid, HUGE. I could also see him getting a couple of 25-30 million dollar fights if he fought De La Hoya again, after some wins.. MAYBE Trinidad, Jermaine Taylor maybe.. Pavlik maybe.. Cotto/Mosley winner.. These are all big fights. I'm not syaing he will. But.. Mayweather is more skilled than Tyson was, so he has more time on his hands. Plus, he's still fairly young. Not saying he will, I'm just saying.

Many ppl can do that,DLH could be a billionaire too if he played his cards correctly. I highly doubt he will get close to 300 million.Isnt he 30 already too? Once those big fights happen,he will most likely only fight once a year,like DLH does. Also to get 20million a fight,it would have to be a MEGA fight everytime he fights,and uhhh right now.He's not no DLH with the ppl. Alot of ppl dont find him exciting as a fighter,you gotta have something about you,ON YOUR OWN to make money like that.He had the help of the MegaStar DLH to boost his money count.

i agree i think race has lot to do with it, some ppl dont wanna see a black man with money like that..they like to keep a brotha down
and there will always be people hating on you..jus he talks alot of **** but dosent beat the guy ass like he say so people get mad, cuz the fight gets over hyped.. n he dont deliver... he just fights a smart fight and gets the V

yes your totaly right people think floyd runs because hes black

[sonofisis]

^No, because they don't know anything about boxing..
