    If that's the case Oscar is 10 times worse than Floyd. He had on his track shoes for 4 rounds against Tito! :rofl

    It would be one thing if Fraud ran from a prime Tito, but the chump ran from BALDOMIR! Just plain sad.

    Yeah, he stood right in there, exceptions taken when he backed off to the ropes and did that stupid, unforeseen move on the ropes that neither is fighting nor proving that he is outsmarting you, actually reminds me of those Sweet Pea's moves staying low to the ground against Trinidad or even make Hoya miss with a deadly combination of eight punches at the close of the fourth - what does that **** proves? They are superior boxers? Man, you make it out for yourselves... To me, he simply can't fight toe to toe and should fight on the back foot against Hatton AGAIN to steal anothet UD. What a bore this guys is and we can't get rid of him, a pure cockroach...

    Was Oscar's hand hurt? It couldn't have been or he wouldn't have smashed it against the wall as he was going back to his dressing room. You ever hurt you hand? Did you feel like punching somebody with it after you hurt it?

    I love it, its actually one of my favorite moments in his fights. When the fighter has Floyd backed up, is a mere six inches away from him, and still cant land ****. Its hilarious watching guys like de la Hoya swing at air and shoulders, then get hit with an uppercut and almost dropped.

    Can you ever make a decent argument? Baldomir after the fight only looked half as bad as Hatton looked after Collazo, and that aint saying much for Baldomir. Call it a running beat down if you wish.

    Please stop. Nobody was almost dropped in that fight. Both assholes looked after the fight like they just came out of a photo-shoot session - unmarked.

    Floyd nearly dropped DLH in the 5th. Its quick so you wont notice it if you only saw the fight once, I noticed it in my second viewing. DLH buckled and was hurt but somehow caught himself before he fell, if Floyd would have landed another shot he might have been finished but I dont think floyd noticed.

    Dear Dorfmeister, do not put words in my mouth. I'm not trying to prove anything in regards to Mayweather's punching power, atg status, or his chances against Hatton. This a unbiased piece, analyzing Floyd's fighting style in his most recent fights. There are countless threads about him being a runner. I've watched pretty much all of his fights, and I just don't see it. I clearly stated that there is a to be made that he ran(even though I don't think so) against Baldo and DLH, nothing you wrote contradicts this premise. You mentioned about not wanting to watch some of his fights that I listed. Don't worry about it because there's is no evidence that he ran in any of the other fights that I listed. If you want to say that he ran against DLH, then that's your opinion. However, Larry Merchent(who everyone here seems to revere) commented in the 5th round, and I quote, "This is toe to toe action". I believe Mayweather to be a highly skilled pugilistic specialist, and he displays this talent in the ring. If you want to call the man a runner, then that's your opinion. However, if you're going to make such a claim, it might be wise for you to come up with more evidence then just what happened in one round of one of his fights.

    While DLH got caught coming in, he was not even near going down.

    We've got another Standi on the board. Just great.:patsch

    floyd came no where near dropping hoya, he caught him with a few good shots that made oscar wobble but he was nowhere near dropping.
