No, what do you mean by this?
He doesn't like it. He squirms, twists, turns. Eventually he covers up and runs. Some would see it as a form of defense. I suppose it is, but I've always sensed a certain panic in it. A desperation. Unfortunately he's never fought anyone who could keep it up or make it count. Not yet.
Do you have direct examples of this?
As for "not liking it", does any fighter like getting hit with punches?
As for "covering up," isn't that what a fighter is supposed to do? Is he supposed to leave his hands down by his side and let his opponent take free shots?
I can't ever remember Floyd looking panicked or desparate in the ring. In fact, I'd say that's one of his biggest strengths, that he always looks relaxed and comfortable in the ring.
