    nice way of ducking the question, must be a Fraud fan.

    why are the only two choices stand and trade . . or run???
    theres a such thingas an entertaining medium . . .see a prime Shane/DLH/Rafa Marquez/Taylor/Toney etc

    I understand what you're saying but, besides DLH, Floyd is making more money than all of those guys, is undefeated, is considered a better fighter than all of them, is a relatively big ppv draw, and is starting to come on strong as far as mainstream appeal. Why would he change the way he fights? There would seem to be no good reason for him to change.

    You are only giving him two choices. Calling him a ***** for not doing one and doing the other.


    Boxing is hitting and not being hit. Counter punching which is what Floyd does when he backs up. Hes a defensive fighter you want him to completely change and become Gatti.

    I understand what youre saying, , , but FMJ is not a PPV draw on his own. . . thats why he was reduced to kissing DLH's ass to sign the fight and kissed his ass to beg for a rematch. . . if he didnt run so much in the ring maybe he could draw on his own like DLH does.

    No, I simply dont want him to run. . . he doesnt have to become Chavez.

    you still havent answered the question, and no I'm not the one who gave him only two choices. . . you did. I pointed out several boxers who dont brawl or run.

    Good point. However, there's alot of good fighters between 140-154. And pretty much all of them want to fight Floyd. So even if he isn't a ppv draw by himself, he can always fight Shane, or Cotto, or anyone else who's popular and do good ppv numbers. He did over 300k for the Baldo fight, so I don't see him doing below 300k anytime soon.

    You're the one who's making it only two choices. He was obviously stationary long enough to hit him more than Baldomir hit him.

    On top of this, PBF was often in the pocket against Baldomir simply countering. Until he hurt his hand. It's not my fault you are not crediting him with this.

    And you ARE the one making it about only 2 choices.

    I can see that, I just dont like the running style and I think it turns alot of fans off to boxing. A few old timers enjoy it I geuss, to each their own.

    I pointed out several boxers . . who arent brawlers or runners .. . I guess I should re=post for the slow ones. . . SHane/DLH/Marquez/Toney/Taylor.

    heres another one for you. . . the FMJ that fought Gatti was brilliant. . . didnt run, didnt brawl, but was very entertaining. . . .the Floyd that fought Baldy simply ran like a scared rabbit. . . the Floyd that fought DLH didnt run as much but was still pretty boring and it was his fault the fight didnt come close to living up to the hype.

    W/o reading 13 pages of nuthugging and arguing, can some Floyd fan tell me what Mayweather's BIGGEST win @ 140 was if it isn't Gatti?
