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

[Akyra]

lol.

mayweather IS a runner. there's no question about it, inside the ring and out.

[Danny Gunz]

i dont think mayweather runs i just think he plays it way too safe in fights lately, there is almost no offense by him.

In the jmm fight he could of easily started to actually throw combos and hurt JMM by the 5th or 6th round but instead dragged the fight out 6 more rounds. I dont mind if he is a defensive fighter, but he still needs to put in some offense.

[VERDUGO]

he runs from the top Welterweights..that's for sure!

[The Prodigy]

most peope say floyd is a runner prefers to see a slugfest rather than a technical battle

[Flab]

Not only does he run, he hides too.

Not only does he run, he hides too.

true
like he went into hiding for two years then came out when all the top welters all fought and beat each other

green k

[priure_sion_08]

yeah he runs

just look at my avatar:****you:

[cixthree]

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.

Dude, there really is no need to try to explain pure boxing to FIGHT fans. They dont understand that it's called boxing not stand and trade. Floyd is a pure boxer, if he can outbox you all night then he will, he has no reason to fight. The day somebody is outboxing him then he will have to fight. Until then he will just be a pure boxer.
Most these guys just dont understand that

All they can do is post juvenile insults.
My challenge still goes out to all the *******s. What do you think of Leonards strategy in Leonard v Hearns 1? Or Ali v Frazier?? Whitaker v Chavez? Willie Pep?

[brently1979]

Floyd doesn't run. But somehow he gives up all the impression that he does.
