I really do not understand why some posters call fighting off the backfoot running

Big difference between being a defensive fighter and running.

if you punch while moving, you're boxing
if you just move without punching, it's ok if you're recovering from hits
otherwise, you're just running

It is not that simple, if someone is moving and waiting it can be mentally tiring as you don't know what you're dealing with. If you follow the waiting up with good counter punching then you can essentially control the pace of the fight. Your opponent will be worried about taking the initiative allowing you to take the breather, it also allows you to just potshot em.

larry you don't have to argue this any more since Floyd has lost his legs.

No he hasn't, he's obviously not as light on his feet as he was back in the late 90s-mid 00s but a fighter who has lost his legs does not show good movement in the Championship rounds.

It is just a case of who he has been matched up against. Against Mosley it was necessary to walk him down ensuring that he didn't get an opportunity to fight back. Against Ortiz well that ended too quickly to draw any comparisons. Against Cotto he was against an opponent who could successfully cut the ring off moving around would have expended too much energy.

who cares if it was, he's still is a defensive fighter right now like then..and you are entitled to your opinion ..he boxed him early, then ran when carlos was getting to him....

lol WHEN IN THE HELL DID BALDO GET TO HIM??WHEN?

[Larry the boss]

I wonder how many people box or actually know the sport..you have legs for a reason and learn footwork for a reason..movement makes your opponent think and opens up counter opportunities..you can set traps and make them walk into punches they dont see and tire them out while frustrating them...it is the sweet science...who in the hell wants to take punches???Martinez set Williams up perfectly walking backwards then BOOOOOM williams was sleep......

LOL....People said Marquez was running when he was timing Pacquiao and stickin him coming in all night long.

These so called "boxing" fans don't like "boxing". This never made sense to me.
