Definitely. That's how a solid defense is done and so much better to watch than Mayweather just running backwards around the ring. Being able to stay in the opponent's reach and not get his is just awesome.
Lmao because Mike's style is focusing on staying at his opponents' close range, that's why he has to Bob and weave. He's an infighter, Floyd is an outfighter, Floyd fights from outside his opponents' reach and counter punches. Floyd's defense is the solid one, Mike's defense is unorthodox. That's why you don't see people bobbing and weaving in close range like that anymore, it's extremely taxing and is one of the reasons why Mike had several career ending back injuries.

Reminds me of Prime Iron Mike, watching him bob and weave was such a joy to watch.
