Since when was moving your feet in boxing a crime??

the so called boxing commuinty, is a bunch of dumb retards, that don't know the difference between boxing or brawling.

it never was a crime but for some reason when Black Fighters do it they get bashed for it but when anybody else does it then it is "SMART" lol many of you on this Forum contradict yourselves, when Dirrell used a stick and move strategy against Froch...The STRONGER MAN... people bashed the guy and complained about him "RUNNING" you can't have it both ways when Mayweather sticked and moved against Oscar, people bashed him for it, if you have the superior boxing skills, footwork and speed...YOU SHOULD USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TXlzA7l_F8&feature=related 1:21

Is Amir Khan black now?

Any advantage u got... use it!!! Even if he's not hurt it doesn't matter. I know that If I was a boxer I could care less about the fans and media and do what I gotta do ... But a thing that I kinda hate is clinching ala John Ruiz I agree 100%!

I've stepped in the ring before and sure moving your feet is a part of boxing, but what u saw from Khan was running. His lack of defense morphed running from Maidana as his form of defense. What kills me are the people who claim to love the sport, been in the ring, etc and come in and act like boxing is 100% about offense. Maybe if Khan had any semblance of defense and ring generalship, he wouldn't have looked so foolish running. He simply tried to shorten the fight, even checking the clock numerous times, because he had no answer for a guy with a 1 track gameplan which was wing punches at him hard. He won. Fine and dandy with me. But stop trying to make sugar outta sh*t with how Khan performed. He was exposed for his lack of defense, and his inability to think and stick to a gameplan once someone take away Plan A. And I better not find a post in any of u guys history clowing DLH for what he did against Trinidad cause that's exactly what Khan did....RAN!

Since it became possible to discredit trained fighters from the comfort of your computer chair.

majority of the posters on here has never stepped foot in a ring, and been hit hard----they may have been in street fights and been hit hard only to be knocked out though-lol- the first thing boxers are taught to do is move around the ring---aka--use their fukking feet---good thread---what khan did was smart and i had him losing by round 6 had he not moved so well in the fight and kept maidana turning---khan did nothing wrong imo---it's easy to see it from the outside--but take it from me, a former fighter--foot movement is not bad--- You are so right, when I took lessons the coach always *****ed at me for my footwork and moves. Now that I box in tough man contests I have realized the importance of footwork and using the ring to my advantage.

Moving your feet in the ring! Such a sad thing to see some fans whining, evidently the people whining have never been in the ring and would have no idea how to react if they were in there swapping punches. It is so easy to criticize a fighter when you have no idea what it's like to go toe to toe with another person for so many rounds! As my boxing ref friend always says, "Real men box, the want to be's just sit back and watch"! http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/mysmiliesvb/mysmilie_61.gif

Yep, every INTERNET WARRIOR thinks every boxing match should be UFC style kind of fights. What a joke! Props to Khan. He proved his mettle. Everyone thought that he would do potshots. But majority of the fight, he elected to stand and trade big shots, that's how he earned the lone knockdown in the entire fight. He got hurt in the late rounds. He chose the correct decision to move and pop. That's what smart boxers do. Move and keep composure. No need to trade when you're in queer street. He should try to emulate Floyd Jr., Khan would be more successful with that kind of style rather than fighting Pacquiao's kind of fight. Khan is no Pacquiao.. now he should know after this fight..

Seriously guys, you all need to STFU and stop whining. I was rooting for Maidana, but this is ridiculous! Any time a boxer decides to use his feet and take a few rounds off, even to get off queer street and get his legs back underneath him is now branded a runner??? Boxing matches don't take place in a 4x4 phone booth dickheads. If your opponent is moving away and you can't get to him, then your ass needs to improve your footwork, or cut off the ring better. By everyone's standards on here, Ali was a "runner" People need to stop using this derogatory term in relation to boxers who actually know how to use the whole ring and move their feet. It's completely and utterly ridiculous!!!! Exactly. Haters always find something to b!tch about. :boxing:

I hear you check, but this is NSB man. Half the people on here don't really know the sport nor do they understand styles. But the people that are complaining are the ones whose fighter lost. Maidana is a tough guy though and Khan beat him in an action packed fight. Khan did his best work early on that carried him to the W although he got hurt early in the 10th.

These retards actually forget Khan traded with Maidana a few times. Which in itself basically tells them indirectly to shut their hypocrite mouths.

Ortiz was using his feet to take rounds off, when he was on the verge of a stoppage. Now, that SHOULD be a crime.

:lol1: The majority of NSB are pathetic people who find any excuse to discredit anybody that is doing well.
