If all Floyd Mayweather does is run, how does he have 25 KO in 41 fights?

[Jimbo16031992]

yeah, but gatti was a C-level fighter, wifebeater's words not mine's, and corrales wasn't at his best against wifebeater. but it is what it is.

Don't tryy and take anything away from the Chico win, that is the one PBF fight you can't discredit. He doesn't run anymore than Pacquiao does, Pacquiao just throws a million punches while moving side to side meaning people don't notice. Floyd used to get more KOs/TKOs in the lower weights because #1 he threw more combinations, #2 he went to the body more meaning he could stop guys late.

He sure did Knock Ricky Hatton the F out when he was still undefeated...

He needed corrupt Cortez's repeated multiple interventions to achieve that. The record will never show it but real boxing fans will always know...

I've never understood why Mayweather was ever accused of being a runner in the first place.It's not like the guy even uses consistent lateral movement.Even against Carlos Baldomir he wasn't really running.

when someone has a good footwork, he is automatically a runner....
floyd synchronizes his footwork with good head movement, thats the only thing he does, and there arent many fighters who do that like floyd can.
he is anything but a runner, the boxing ring is his home, he grew up in there, its not easy to make him run.
he wasnt even running away from castillo, a great pressure fighter who can hunt you for 24 rounds if needed.

what khan did vs maidana was running, and it showed his footwork was clearly overrated.
he has to work on that, maybe he should train with floyd instead of pacquiao
khan was lucky he wasnt fighting castillo that night, he would have been exhausted after the first 2 rounds.
it looked like he was trying to break usain bolts 100meter world record.

You shoud be mad at the turnbuckle. Not Floyd. That's just unfair.

hey, if *****s can use hindsight to ***** on everything pac has done from 126 to 147, why can't I ***** on wifebeater's record?

So it was Cortez's fault that Ricky... dropped his hands to his waist... and walked in a straight line towards Floyd, and got smashed with a left hook?

I mean if it was a decision win, and Ricky didnt get the nod because the Ref kept splitting them up.. that's one thing...

But he got flattened, not because Cortez kept breaking them up... but because when Ricky walked back in, he did so with zero caution or defense.

For that fight, Diego was severely weight drained, had the flu that week and was thinking about having to do some time after the fight with Floyd.


As for Gatti, he was not a prime fighter anymore. Even Gatti struggled to make 140 but he did it just to fight Floyd. After the Floyd fight, Gatti moved up to 147 BUT that was too high to compete adequately and therefore had to retire.

I don't want to put words into someone's mouth BUT that is what I believe the other poster wanted to say when he said that the real Gatti and Diego were not all there that night.

[Bastian Loc]

cuz' he fights a lot of bums, shot fighters, small fighters and bums.

21 of those 25 KO's were at 130. He's had to box more rather than fight and be aggressive like he was in 130, in the higher weights as his power doesn't go up with him. I have no problem with that, because he's doing everything fair and square, no steroids and still undefeated even after going up 5 weight classes. You have to lose some to gain some. So he dropped his offensiveness considerably but he became smarter and adapted to fighting to win on decisions.
