difference between floyd and other running fighters?

[Primo Carnera]

First off, Floyd hasn't always fought like this. He is old and has had to adjust his style. Second, he didn't run. I only consider it running if you don't throw punches like you mentioned in the Peterson Garcia fight. Peterson jumped around the ring avoiding punches but not throwing or landing. If you are landing consistently and making your opponent miss then I don't consider it running. Floyd didn't even back up the whole time. He circled a lot and sometimes stood in the middle of the ring. Again, if this weren't such a big fight and it weren't Floyd, most people wouldn't be saying anything about this fight.

Dude...
You need to watch some more Mayweather fights.

Floyd has always fought like that.

Watch the Oscar fight...then the Corely fight.

Floyd was on the ropes PLENTY in those bouts.

I think Powerpuncher is on your side here, but you're a bit thick and can't see it! When Floyd was younger, he was pretty aggressive. I don't think he spent much time on the ropes against Corrales and Gatti. At 38, he has adjusted because he has the quality to do so. And like Powerpuncher said, if you're constantly landing, it's not really running, it's ringcraft.
