    Because being hit leads to this......

    If you have the ability to hit, win fights, with taking the least possible damage as possible....why wouldn't you? Why do people ask dumb questions?

    This wins dumbest thread of week.

    Mayweather doesn't like to get hit because he got an Amir Khan style chin. HAHA.

    You like that answer?

    Oh boy, the thread starter was a direct product of an incestuous relationship.

    Wtf? I thought Boxing is to hit and not get hit? Things change all of a sudden? I think you should ask Spinks that question cause Atleast Mayweather has way ko record then Spinks. Or Maybe you should ask Wright that question since he always put his guard up all the time in which tells me he's afraid to be hit. What about Hopkins? Man i can go on and on but it just shows that this thread is stupid no offense. It's just Floyd style if hit his opponents but don't get hit in return.

    Didn't you just start one of the most moronic thread regarding KLit-Arreola and PBF-Marquez?

    Yes.

    I think Floyd looks scared to death when he is against the ropes and someone is throwing shots at him.

    You are a ****in idiot. Watch a Floyd fight again. Its obvious that sometimes he lets them throw shots at him while against the ropes.

    Calm down. Floyd is a great fighter he just has a scared, insecure look on his face when he is cornered sometimes. The De La Hoya fight is a good example. I see this expression, :shock:, throughout the fight.

    maybe its because you don't gain points on the scorecard for getting hit. Of course not being a judge myself i suppose that i cannot be sure

    You are 100% right, but Floyd's safety first approach got a little out of hand imo. What was he thinking, that JMM was going to decapitate him if he landed? Maybe Floyd knows things we don't..

    In professional boxing, as a fighter, you need a certain entertainment level because it is about amusement (and the vast majority watch it because of that).

    I myself love technical boxing, and that's why I love amateur/Olympic boxing. But when I watch a ''high profile'' pro fight like Floyd vs Marquez, you have certain expectations. Especially if you have to pay $50 for it.

    But that's not the question of the ts. Floyd has become afraid imo. Earlier in his career he often went toe to toe with his opponents in give and take action, in which Floyd got the better of it as well. A good example is vs Corley.
