    If you think Mayweather is a runner..you don't know boxing

    He does most of his damage right in the center of the ring. He keeps a distance and he circles.

    Andre Dirrell runs.

    Miguel Cotto ran for the last 6 rounds again Pacquaio

    Oscar ran against Trinadad

    There is a big difference between running and spacing. In many of Floyd fights by the end of the fight he is the one stalking his opponent.

    Even when backing up he is always countering. He knocked out Hatton backing up while countering. That is boxing skill not running.

    You can argue he has ducked opponents, but to call him a runner in the ring is a cliche'.

    Not saying he will or won't beat Pacquiao, but whatever he does or attempts to do won't be an effort to run and will be finding the proper style to win the fight be it agressive coming forward or countering Manny's incoming onslaught.

      Where is your evidence to support this? Cause the video available does not support it.

              he always runs away from opponents he was supposed to fight! (read all previous threads here)

              And now he is running away from the March 13 megafight!

              If you know boxing as a sport, it's not only the skills and techniques that are important here, it's also the heart! Does Floyd have the heart??? That's the question you might want to ask yourself!

                  ****head, your hero Floyd has been a welterweight since before Barack ***** was a US Senator-- yet he has never fought a welterweight.

                  You are a fan of Floyd, ergo ****head, you don't know boxing. Please go back to watching "Do You Think You Can Dance" or whatever gay **** you normally do.
