It's not always terribly exciting to watch, but Mayweather's pathological aversion to getting punched is certainly effective.

  Never thought I'd hear an aversion to being punched described as pathological.

    Most boxers will trade punches a lot more. Floyd just apparently figured out that total defense is better.

    Indeed -- taking into account the recent revelations about CTE and related issues, Mayweather's "I believe in taking as little punishment as is possible" approach seems to me well-considered.

      Who'd have thought that being repeatedly punched in the head would have negative long-term health implications?
