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

[crossybossy]

running would be RETREATING. he's not. he's just a defensive fighter. its just an excuse to hate him. he's annonying as hell but still a great fighter. boring. but still a great fighter. can't take that away from him.

mayweather is a master at spacing. look at how he kept cotto, margarito and mosley miles away from him his entire career.

I admit I laughed at that one

[iskucha03]

boxing is a track and field?

too bad mosley kept his space from Foyd twice and Cottos camp kept Cotto away too

Once again show me evidence of running..Against Baldomir he stood right in middle of the ring..against Oscar in the later rounds he was the more agressive and often the first person to punch.

Once again this is inside he ring if you read my post this hand nothing to do with ducking opponents.

I can show you 6 rounds of Cotto running and everyone called him a warrior for "hanging in there"..but when it appeared he would be KOed he ran to try to make it to the bell.

I am a fan of boxing not of any particular fighter.

What Direll did I would consider textbook example of running, Floyd doesn't run.

Direll is a perfect example of someone with great skills, but hasn't learn to be a boxer, so he runs when he gets pressured.

LOL at some random dude from the internetz telling peepz they dont know boxing!

shane mosley called floyd a runner, he dont know nothin about boxing? lol

[Bring It On]

Agreed, Roach doesn't know **** about boxing!

The only reason boxers wanna be trained by him must be because he's so damn sexy!

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

Pernell Whitaker is one of my all time favorite fighters, top 3 even.

He was a pure boxer who didn't run from challenges.

He was a pure boxer who also stood in the pocket exchanging with his foe even when he had less power than Floyd.

Floyd runs from superfeatherweights,

in welterweight fights.
