      There's a difference between pot shotting and clean counter-punching. Just because you can hit and get out of the way, doesn't make it pot-shotting. When you see a guy hit and not get hit all night, then eventually break a guy down and knock him out most of the time it's obviously not pott-shotting. It's clean effective counter punching.

        Depends on the fans really, I like the way he mixed it up during the later rounds in the Hatton fight.

        Fav Mayweather fights: Ndou, Corley, Burton, Corrales

          Some people groove on that style of fighting... some people think brawls are lame, they prefer watching a guy with sick skillz as opposed to a guy with an iron chin or just comes forwards and throws haymakers - and vise versa, to each there own, its part of what makes boxing so fun to follow, you get sytle matchups, if everyone just fought comming forward slugging, boxing would get a little boring honestly

                and if seriously no one wants to get hit. just that not many boxers can be slick and evade punches, no need to hate on those who can do that

                      C'mon Burner, you know this. He is the biggest boxing name in America and people want to see him loose. If he didn't run his mouth and market himself the way he does, do you think he would sell anywhere near as well?


                      honest question: Do you have any idea how many millions were spent promoting PBF/JMM?
