    You haters seriously would outlaw strategy if you had the choice I think.
    Didn't you get the memo?

    30 punches throw per round.

    Hugged about the same number per round.

    Ran all night. Like a chicken.

    Following your argument, then Fake Floyd is no better than a level of a Forrest. Forrest attacked early while Fake Floyd ran all night.

    Didn't you watch the fight? Or maybe you're in a coma or something.

      As has been mentioned many times...

      Floyd knows what he stands to lose in this fight.

      Being the smart fighter he is, he'll simply box and move and will engage Ricky in some toe to toe battle. He is concerned about putting on a good showing for the fans too.

      Don't be too surprised if Ricky shoots outta the gate like a fire cracker, but ends up puffing out and totally frustrated by Floyd's skills.

        Guess what?!? 30 punches is enough to win a round if he lands enough!

        WOW, WHAT A ****ING CONCEPT!

        Running means NOT throwing punches, at all.

          No. Running does not mean a total failure to throw punches. "Running" implies consistently moving away from the opponent to avoid exchanging, and using punches to keep the opponent away.

            who ever is bigger between the two is not bigger by much. i still think floyd is bigger and has a 2 inch height advantage over hatton. and i was not comparing mitchell and gatti to hatton. i was saying that floyd should fight hatton like he fought them 2. hatton is not a power puncher. he should bring the fight to hatton and stay away from hattons body shots.

              What? Hatton is a power puncher, that's why Floyd must stay away from Hatton's body shots.

                i meant he does not have one punch power. and hatton has decent pop in his punches, i never seen him just knock someone out with one punch. and the castillio fight does not count that was BS. floyd can take anything hatton has to dish out as long as he stays off the ropes. floyd tends to lean against the ropes sometimes.

                    Oh, okay... defense means running.

                    Yeah, Floyd runs.

                      30 punches per round are those for boring HW like Ruiz.

                      Guess what if we follow your logic that

                      "it's enough"
                      "it's going to make the cut"

                      Then I'm fine with that.

                      Don't be idiotic enough to call Fake Floyd p4p number 1.

                      The best boxer in the world shows far more class and flair than what Fake Floyd does.

                      Just to reiterate the points.

                      30 PUNCHES PER ROUND
                      HUGS ABOUT THE SAME NUMBER
                      RUNS LIKE A CHICKEN ALL NIGHT

                      And dude did you ever EVER GO TO SCHOOL?

                      Since when is boxing about running? I AM REALLY AMAZED.

                      Throwing 30 punches per round against a Baldomir and an old DLH shows the total inability to put punches together against old and vastly outclassed opponents.

                      PLAIN AND BASIC COMMON SENSE.
