    It definetely isnt running, which so many here confuse it with.

    Good words about boxing as an art:

    "Style is the answer to everything.
    Fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous day.
    To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without style.
    To do a dangerous thing with style, is what I call art.
    Bullfighting can be an art.
    Boxing can be an art.
    Loving can be an art

    Opening a can of sardines can be an art.
    Not many have style.
    Not many can keep style.
    I have seen dogs with more style than men.
    Although not many dogs have style.
    Cats have it with abundance.
    When Hemingway put his brains to the wall with a shotgun, that was style.
    For sometimes people give you style.
    Joan of Arc had style.
    John the Baptist.
    Jesus.
    Socrates.
    Caesar.
    García Lorca.
    I have met men in jail with style.
    I have met more men in jail with style than men out of jail.
    Style is a difference, a way of doing, a way of being done.
    Six herons standing quietly in a pool of water, or you, walking
    out of the bathroom without seeing me.

    Charles Bukowski "Style"

    I think that this is the first poem on east side boxing;)

    Every thing you post always seems to be anti Mayweather...Oh and by the way your wrong...Floyd isnt a runner and never has been..Floyd stands in front of guys for the most part and makes them miss..Your just too blind by hate and want soo badly for him to lose that you cant see him for what he really is...Boxing is and always has been about hitting the other guy while not getting hit yourself....For guys like you its about standing in front of a guy and seeing who can take the most without folding...

    PS Hopkins moved around more in his fights with Pavlik and Calzaghe then floyd ever has in any fight.:thumbsup

    Please, Hopkins would turn not run, and when Hopkins had his man hurt he tried to get something done, again the Baldimor and DLH fights that Floyd had, He was back pedalling all night, the Baldimor fight even HBO was talking about how Floyd was in front of a man who couldnt punch and was clearly ahead in the fight, yet he wasnt taking any risk to step it up a notch and see if he can score the knock out, The man simply has no balls!!!

    why does everything have to do with Floyd? Becuase he is a disgrace to this sport.
