What does Floyd have to do to change your mind?

[Violent Demise]

1. STFU!!
2. Fight (Not run)

AGREED!!!

Not saying he needs to brawl, but he needs to remember it's a fight and not a track meet. His defense is good enough to stay in range and still be smart.

He could NEVER brawl, if he tried to he'd be KTFO by any kind of fighter...his hands are too brittle and he has NO power above 140.

im curious, lyle...........


what did you think of pernell whitaker when he was fighting?

he is maybe my fav of all time (will probably be replaced by floyd when all is said and done)

you could make an arguement to say that he "ran" (boxed ) more than mayweather, but when people talk about him all you ever hear is what a great boxer and defensive wizard he was (he was ) and that hes an all time great (he is)

i remember pernell fights where he would slip a few punches, counter, and then literally turn his back and jog away from the guy

Pernell did that, turning his back and walking away, HOWEVER he did STAND AND FIGHT a lot as well

And let me guess, Mayweather doesn't. Right? So I'm guessing his 24 knocks came by what? Luck? Please. This a perfect example of someone just looking for a reason to bad mouthed Mayweather. Rather stupid or not. Mayweather in 37 wins has 24 knock outs. Whitaker (who I'm a fan of) scored only 17 knock outs in his 40 wins. Yet Mayweather is a runner and Whitaker is a guy who would fight. Ridicules.
