is mayweather a runner?

i dont think so.
the point of boxing is to punch and move, and thats why floyd does.

He's not a toe-to-toe fighter, but he does throw punches. He averages, something like 350 a fight. Which is pretty good for a guy who's ended his early fights earlier.. and fought bigger guys lately.

He's not a runner.. A runner is Andre Dirrell. THAT'S a runner. Mayweather is ACTUALLY a mover.. True. (Simple, if I throw a punch at you, do you move, or do you stay there and take it? Simple, common ****in' sense) He hits and moves, by the way. He actually doesn't counter as much as you'd think. He pot-shots, but gets off first. THEN he counters.

He actually stays on the ropes quite a bit. Shoulder rolls and then moves once he lands a couple of shots.

He COULD stand in there a bit more for exchanges, but.. no real reason to when you don't HAVE to.

A runner doesnt stop 80% of thier opponents .

thats exactly right..i have sparred guys who keep moving away from me, and when they feel like it, they make a move on me.but moving away from your opponent is a very skillful tactic, and if you haven't been in the ring, then your not in a position to comment on it.
It's a beautiful thing to keep your opponent at bay, and if that means being at a distance from your opponent, so be it. It's called hit and move, not hit and stand ffs.

If you want to know what a runner is, check out Andre Dirrell.

Dirrell is a disgrace. He actually has fans on here, too. Pretty crazy.

I know lol. I was, no bull****, just looking at the pic not 10 minutes ago when I realized the same thing. Gotta protect that bod when you're 6'2 and weigh 147 pounds.
