      Not really true. It takes a good deal of skill to be able to hit and move, and control the fight like a lot of "potshotters" do. And even if you do dislike them, there is no denying that Floyd and Camacho are/were pretty skilled fighters.

            Cuz Floyd probably beat their favorite fighter or their fighter fears him.

              Wait did you just describe boxing. Hit and NOT get hit.

                  Styles. Some boxers dont like brawling widly exposing themselves to uncalled for shots.

                    i guess in some situations fighters can do that. but to keep cricling your man for 12 rounds waiting to land a shot is unessceary (if i spelled that) to me. not that im saying it's wrong...just somthing i wouldn't do if i can score a ko

                      I feel you. I dont know if you if you are referring to Floyd-JMM or not but I think in that fight Floyd wanted to get some rounds in IMO.

                      Now guys like Wlad that just bugs me because they have one punch KO Power.
