    any fool off the street can climb in the ring and swop punches and get his bell rung if thats what you like. Being fast is not a grantee that you won't taste leather, well honed skills and poise are attributes that few fighter master.
    I myself appreciate fighters who master these two skills, then I do a fighter he gets his head caved in every time he steps in the ring. I think everyone dreams of being a fighter that no one can touch.

    Just stop, Floyd is not called pretty boy because of his looks, it because his defense was so slick, that he almost could not be touched.
    Roy Jones was never a defense wizard he relied more on his natural gifts of speed and power. but once his started to slow down he got hit, he weakness was brought to light, which Roy defense mechanics were no all that great. For example Roy does not move his head when punches are thrown at him, in the past he would simply use his legs and hand speed to counter.

    You seem to think that allowing your self to take shots is a fair risk, when its not its stupid. You take risk by getting in the ring, no one is immune to not getting hit not even floyd. what your asking the man to do or any fighter to do, is equivalent to climbing a mountain with rope, or going white water rafting with out a life jacket, just to prove you have balls. you might have balls but you will be labeled as a 100% idiot .

    They should have a show "When boxing fans become even more stupid", and dedicate it to the starter of this thread.

    I don't know how someone could be a boxer as long as PBF has been and be scared to get hit. I don't think its possible to go 40-0 if your scared to get hit. Or move up 4 weight classes or fight in 18 title fights out of 40 if your scared to get hit.

    If PBF was as scared to get hit as guys are trying to make him out to be then the psychological advantage that every oppnent would have over him would be huge and the psychological disadvantage for him would be huge. He wouldn't be the undefeated figher he is today. As the saying goes scared money don't make money.

    If he really is that scared to get hit yet went into every fight overcoming that fear with boxing skill and talent then thats even more impressive.
