I remember watching fights in YOUTUBE without the benefit of an ear piece and great fights always stood out. Watch castillo - corrales and you will see what I mean. Now try watching OLDH - PBF without sound and hype and what do you get? Nothing really except two men laughing all the way to the bank.

ODLH was ready to go to war,it was FM who was not standing and fighting it out.(dont blame him)
Yeah it's pretty easy to want to stand and go toe to toe when you are the bigger guy. You try goin toe to toe with the bigger guy when that guy is a six weight division champ named Oscar Delahoya. Floyd landed more punches and more power punches so how did he not fight? People accuse him of running. It's actually called "sticking and moving". It is usually what you have to do to keep a bigger man off you in a fight where you are physically outgunned. Floyd did what he had to do and that was stick, move and box. He stayed on the ropes a little too much in this fight if u ask me but all of Oscar's desperate punch combinations that he through at those points when he did have PBF backed up to the ropes, almost all of those punch combinations were deflected by that shoulder roll/twisting/contorting defense of the p4p king. if he was running the whole time and not fighting he wouldnt have won the fight. Like Floyd said before, "...if Oscar knew how to "run" like me, his ass wouldnt have lost to Trinidad and Mosley the second time..."
