    Admit is Brucelee you were going there anyway. Once Manny retires you will not follow boxing.

    Floyd should retire too, Wlad mark 2 is not entertaining no matter how you make out what a defensive genius he is.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I personally quite enjoy watching Mayweather fight. I like watching technical boxing so I like watching guys like Mayweather and Rigondeaux perform their craft.

    Floyd was looking like Barry Sanders in the ring. With that kind of movement and juking, Floyd with never get beat. if some other boxer does what may does it's called running, when Floyd does it it's called the sweet science. Rico at least engages, he will stand in front of u and not get hit. Headmovement. Roy never bounced around the ring like that. Staying 2 feet away from your opponent is not boxing. It's boring, which is why I paid nothing to stream that shit. "Most underwhelming fight of the century"

    I think there's a big misconception on what "running" actually is. Running is simply fleeing with no plan of engaging, you're simply trying to escape. It's what DLH did in the last few rounds of the Trinidad fight, and yes, it's what Floyd did for a few seconds at the end of a couple of the rounds to avoid a late Pacquiao flurry.

    Standing toe to toe with a guy in the middle of the ring, looking to counter and using movement to keep your opponent off balance is not running. Taking a step back or to the side when your opponent lunges at you is not running. Dashing to the left or right when your opponent has trapped you on ropes is not running. That's boxing. You go to a boxing gym and your first day the trainer will show you how to properly move forward, backwards and to the sides. I understand that casual fans aren't going to understand the difference, but I find it weird that so many "real" boxing fans don't understand it.

    Floyd ran for maybe 30-40 seconds of the fight, and he held for maybe 20-30 seconds. So let's say Floyd ran and held for about a minute. What about the other 35 minutes of the fight? What's Pac's excuse for being wholly ineffective in that period of time?

    Floyd is boring to watch particularly lately because he has no punch to hurt his opponent. I can appreciate skill but the fight with Manny was awful.

    Watch again the fight. Floyd was running trying to survive. FACT. If the fight was boring, it was because of FLOYD. FACT. Pac came to him looking to engage but FLOYD ran all night, hugged all night and did all the dirty tricks he knew all night. He's a disgrace to boxing. FACT.

    Hahahahaaa

    I feel badly for you @brucelee I'm starting to see that you're not mentally all there...

    And it's not nice to laugh at the less fortunate.

    Good luck in life.

    yet punch stats state that not only did Floyd throw more punches yet outlanded Manny as well, so how the hell did Manny engage more while throwing less and just followed Floyd around all night, bitches like you who suck one fighters dick and don't know anything about anyone or anything else in the sport, that's a disgrace to boxing, you said you're done with boxing, well fuck off and go watch dudes dry hump on the floor of a steel cage

    I think he was literally running at times and holding on for his dear life. Preety awful fight to watch.

    He grabbed a few times really trying to avoid getting hit but I don't remember him just running other then the last 10 seconds of the fight. My point was though that if for example algieri fought the same fight as Floyd and won, I don't think most people would talk about him running. He would get a ton of respect for fighting a very smart fight. We just expect more out of Floyd though.

    We expect so much from Floyd coz he said he would give us a blazing fight. Never thought running is equivalent to fighting and blazing to hugging.
