    In nearly every fight. He showcases it when he's backed up against the ropes. I was pissed he didnt fight more against Oscar on the inside, felt he could have caught him with the same uppercut that nearly dropped oscar in round 5.

    Ain't nothin nearly dropped Oscar.

    That fight was about a draw.

    Floyd did a good job by taking away Oscar's jab in the later rounds, but he was scared to engage.

    His uncle kept telling him, WHUP HIS ASS, WHUP HIS ASS!!!

    Floyd didn't do it.

    Why?

    Who gives a **** what they thought they were probably mad because PBF came out in a sombrero on Cinco De Mayo and beat a Mexican hero.:lol:

    What does a street fight have to do with anything? This boxing not tuff man PBF is the best BOXER on the planet...**** a street fight.

    Why in the hell would you feel sorry for PBF?:think He was never in any danger in the fight and made a good account for himself he beat a much bigger man in his first fight at 154 against an ATG.

    Lastly **** a Antonio "the counter-puncher's wet dream" Margarito. He got beat at his own game by Williams. What a way to lay an egg huh? Talked up as being the most feared man in boxing since Hagler and is exposed in the very next fight...talk about a hype job.:lol: Like I've said from day one that Tijauna Dirt Devil couldn't throw a straight punch or cut off a ring to save his life.:lol: The windmill ain't **** and I can't believe you're back talking him up he would lose to all the top fighters at 147. He's far to limited and flawed to beat the elite why can't you see this? The sooner you realize this the better of you will be and less embarassment you will face after your boy goes down in flames against the next elite fighter he faces.:deal

    There is no limit to the number of backwards steps you can take without calling it running, as long as you're not being battered, and staying away from punishment. If you're landing clean punches, and you're not getting hit. THen the more backward steps the better.
    I can make a list of fighters who rarely took backward steps, but it is because the yhad power, and they trusted they could hurt you first.
    Not every fighter has a power game. That's basically the reason for boxing as a sport. It's an equalizer.
    IF you are a Julio Cesar Chavez come forward type fighter you will when fights because you kept coming, But if you get in there with someone not willing to let you land any and every time you want to. You'll have to figure out a way to make your style work.
    IF you are a slick fighter, and you're in there with a come forward fighter you have to figure out away to not get knocked out.
    In an effort to make clear what I'm saying I'll pose this question."
    If you ar enot one of the power punchers in boxing, but there are several big punchers in your division. YOur style is not the power game, and that's not even what you work on in the gym.
    Do you A use your speed, and let him use his power, and see who can play their game better.
    Or do you stand there with bigger punchers knowing you're not gonna hurt them as much as they'll hurt you.
    Or do you just give up boxing because you dont have big power.
    I can understand people having a style preference, but I have never understood how you can look at someone who's undefeated in 5 weight classes and say they do anything too much.
    I don't just say that in boxing, I say that in any sport.
    How can you say the Super bowl, or N.B.A Champions, are not playinmg the game right.
    IT wouldn't make sense in any other sport, and it doesn't make sense in boxing.
    That's not to say that I haven't seen fighters scared and running in a fight. I most definitely have. But the ting is those guys lose because they're not scoring points, or they are eventually walked down, and K.O' d.
    You'll see the big puncher stalking them around the ring then they catch them it's over.
    But in the case of FLoyd Mayweathe you'll have a hard time convincing me no matter how many backward steps he's taking that he's running, and I'm seeing bumps and bruises appearing on the other guys head, and sometimes his corner jumping in there to save him.
    I'll bet you that if you made a list of fighters who are runners, you will not see towels thrown in by the other corner very often.

    But how can you give a guy the win when if he used that tactic in a street fight, he would have gotten his ass beat.

    I go by that logic sometimes.

    I mean, if you outbox someone and whup their ass, I'll give it to you.

    Sweet Pea did that **** all the time, same with SRL except for the second Duran fight, but you get what I'm saying.

    Ali did that **** too. Most people don't realize it, but Ali was hard as ****. Dude came to fight!

    Floyd.......well you've seen him fight.

    Floyd won that fight clearly. 8-4 atleast. Sweet science in its purest form. Oscar did ok around rounds 8 and 9, made it look like a competition atleast.

    Floyd nearly dropped Oscar in round 5 clearly. He buckled, caught himself against floyds body. Dont know why floyd didnt finish him.

    I think Floyd eases up when he knows he has the fight in the bag. He doesnt have bloodlust like some fighters. Like how Cotto punished Judah at the end of their fight,.

    Boxing isnt street fighting. I could beat floyd lil ass in a street fight. He would light me up in the ring.

    Floyd made Oscar look silly. He tried to save face with his "I didnt feel like I lost" whatever **** he said. Fact is, he landed single digit punch rounds. Thats horrible. Floyd landed about double him and double his percentage. It was for all intents and purposes a route.

    You have to put it into perspective.

    If Floyd fought like SRL or he fought like he used to fight, people would be like DAMNNNN, Floyd is badass.

    But put Floyd on a playground.

    If Floyd is running and not fighting back, people are gonna start yelling, "what are you doing? Fight him. If you don't fight him, I'll beat your ass."

    Some things never change.

    you cant keep comparing boxing and street fighting its not the same.

    floyd has outboxed so many opponents its not funny and even the haters of PBF would agree...you can not deny this mans boxing ability....i mean i know punch stats dont mean a whole lot but in this case i mean it was a landslide in accuracy. Now you can even say punch stats are obscurred and they are but that means both fighters percentages drop and if Oscar's drop any more he'd be a stripper.

    No, you telling us that Ali was hard and that he came to fight is embarassing yourself, the man is consider by most to be the greatest heavyweight ever, WE KNOW HE CAME TO FIGHT!
