Would PBF's style be hated as much if he got hit more?

[Wige247]

I think the reason people say PBF's a runner is b/c he doesn't get hit. If he got caught more, people would be willing to believe that he was standing and trading, but since he doesn't get caught, people believe that he's running away. Gatti was trying his hardest to impersonate PBF, and no one's claiming anything other than he went down like a warrior. Why? B/c he was getting tattooed by Gomez.

no people call floyd a 'runner' because he backpeddles the whole fight and throws one punch at a time.

[Relentless]

no you dont have to get hit to be exciting, look at whitaker, he would go in close range and trade with you without getting hit.

[Relentless]

if floyd could fight every fight the way he fought gatti he would be more liked, when was the last time he threw a combo or a flurry?

:good

Obviously Floyd would generally be liked more if he fought more often (especially the last two fights) like he did against guys like Augustus, Ndou, Corley, etc....But it might not be in the best interest in terms of winning the fights.

I don't hold it against a guy's all-time standing or how good he is for being dull provided they win the fights clearly...it's just that obviously a lot of fans won't like it as much.

What a ridiculous thing to say. If he got hit more? How about him hitting more, and not just once at a time.

Admit that you're faking to like Whitaker in order to disguise your mindless hate of Floyd.

[justaboxingfan]

If FLoyd got hit more often it would be easier to critisize him, but then again you could ALWAYS find something wrong with any fighter, especially if he's on top.

So you find Whitaker's style exciting, but at the same time dislike it? Strange.

You're the one who referenced Whitaker. The obvious connection you were drawing between Whitaker and Floyd is that they both have defensive styles.

If there was some other vague connection you were making, please bring it to light.
