    They're enough fighters that can get to Mayweather and stop him from running. All it takes is one punch and the fighter can start to slow down.

    On the other hand boxing has never been entertaing watching guys that run around all the time. Even the great ones at some point in their careers took the time to **** with the best of them. Muhammad Ali, Oscar de La Hoya,etc.

    So for people who follow Floyd they might find it attractive that he can escape a fight without being hurt, but boxing fans want to see something more than just a guy back peddling or even holding on to another fighter for pure survival. There are fighters going through wars while Mayweather awaits who he should fight. He should've be making his own legacy and not watching other fighters continue building their own.
    And people like you who dont like floyd will always over state the fact that floyd is a runner!!!

      I like how he analyzes his opponents with his defense. Once he let's his opponent gain confidence by using their best attempts early, he adjusts or detects the flaws by 2nd half of the fight. He definitely knows how to win in more ways than one.

            This was well said,even his fans must see ur point!!!Margarito called him out to his face and he said he would fight,never did and Mosley came flying in wearing a red cape and put a cherry on top his own legacy and it could have been Mayweather,u can be born the most talented boxer,but that alone can never make u great!!!!

              His first fight against castillo was really entertaining. even thou I thought he lost it was a fun scrap and so was his fight against jesus chavez.

              Also another good fight for floyd was his fight against demarcus corely. for like the first four or five rounds corely was giving a solid effort. tell floyd broke him down
