    And whos that? It cant be Floyd, obviously since he only runs.

    If you are tired of the rightful running accusations, tell Floyd to stop running like a bithc, the accusations will fade instantly.

    Floyd is a runner in the same way that Pea Whitaker and Willie Pep were runners.

    There's a very weird double standard with FLoyd. If people are going to foolishly criticize him, than the other ATG's that fight in a similar manner to him should also get ostracized for being runners.

    It's ridiculous.

    How did Manny do nothing? The fight was even after 6 rounds. I can't remember a fight where Floyd was even with someone after 6 rounds. Pac will be remember for trying to actullay have a fight with Floyd, and Floyd will be remembered for someone who just ran away because he was too scared to fight Pacquiao. This after 6 years of a ducking a guy. It's sad and it hurts the sport and it makes people long for the days of SRL and Hearns and Duran. Basically this was a lot like SRL Duran II. The "No Mas" fight. Why the heck do you think Duran just walked away? Because he was offended by what SRL did. Duran saw that as SRL being way too negative that he didn't want to fight such a clown. In that fight SRL was showboating, but at least SRL had other fights where he went to war so fans can forgive that. Floyd hasn't had fights like that where he went to war, so therefore fighters like SRL and Duran are remembered more fondly than Floyd.

    No, first of all there isn't any film on Pep so we are just relying on stories. Sweet Pea didn't run. Floyd runs. There's a difference. Sweet Pea had an organic natural movement about him that was crowd pleasing and smooth. He was naturally gifted with amazing footwork. Floyd doesn't have that level of footwork. Floyd's movement is not as natural looking as Sweet Pea or other defensive masters of the sweet science. When Floyd moves around the ring, it's herky-jerky, it's not aesthetically pleasing like Sweet Pea, SRL, Ali, etc.

    Moreover, Sweet Pea did stuff throughout fights that was entertaining, made you laugh, made you ooh and ahh, like Ali, like Roy Jones, etc. Floyd doesn't make you oooh and ahhh. Understanding the difference between running and natural organic outboxing isn't something that can be easily explained or quantified. But you know it when you see it and anyone who studies the sweet science knows what one is and what the other is.

    I know 118-110 was so much BS man. Manny was the better man and landed the best punches.
