I've never seen this running that all his opponents complain about when they cant win a round. A default answer for all of those who thought they were much better then they are in comparison to the guy and all of their believers. Its either that or apparently the person was shot. Never seen any evidence at all over the years and I've seen every fight since Tony Pep. Someone needs to produce some evidence because this is being passed around now through generations. Its the new answer for people who wont stand in front of you. Ironically when he chooses to he actually carves you up so.....
Floyds favourite pass time is not standing in the pocket and engaging. I'm sure that factors in to why he's never lost and had such a long career. He makes you miss and then makes you pay and when you attempt a return he's not there. Thats boxing.
There was a time when Floyd stood in the pocket and avoided punches and countered consistently. He's regressed tremendously in that aspect (due to age). He's has been taken more shots in the box as of late (Cotto fight was a clear indication). Now, he makes more of a effort to create space and play more cat and mouse.
