Shut the hell up about running please.

That was beautiful... But when was the last time a runner packed up MSG with 20k ppl? PBF performance over DLH was a good one, but why was everyone disappointed on this fight? There's a difference between good deffense and running away and avoiding contact, Pernell, Benitez and many greats could slip and duck and also use their legs to get away without running. People pay to watch those kind of fighters NOT runners.

but some ppl dont have a problem wid the running.

Stevens is a muscle head, did anyone notice that he was huge mixed with muscle and fat? No wonder why his ass couldn't catch up. One boxer was built like a body builder, and the other one was built like a track-star. Go figure

there is a difference between ring generalship and running

[realheavyhands]

theyll shut up soon as the next roy jones comes along and can run and beat the **** ou of you at the same time

[owenrock69]

that would be called ring generalship, not running, Harold Lederman said it best

" I dont like scoring potshots or running, cause thats what it is RUNNING"

standing in the trenches and just trading blows is not boxing. Boxing is the art of hitting and not being hit. Its not about hitting, standing there waiting to be hit and then hitting back. Itrs an art. Those who have never studied it will never understand the damage that is incurred during a fight.

Sure, the common fan likes to see wars. I like to see wars sometimes. But I do understand what will happen to a fighter who just stands in for wars all of the time. Arturo Gatti had to be the most exciting fighter I have seen in the last 10 years, he was a war dog. But now in his older years he has resorted back to the "boxing" skills, with movement and a good shade of defense.


Runners are DLH, RJJ, Mohammed Hakkar

Boxers are Larry Holmes, Pernell Whitaker, Winky Wright, Lennox Lewis, Rid**** Bowe

Boxers have a purpose

Runners are scared ****!! You want proof see DLH vs. Tito, see Hakkar vs. B-Hop

Brawlers are PACMAN, GATTI, Morales(what they do is dumb, they've been successful, but it's dumb)

Great Inside fighters are James Toney, Chavez Sr. Mike McCallum, Marvin Hagler( bodywork, inside defense is what structured is)

A fighter who ****s all through his career will pay the price. Sure there are those who have come out of all of the carnage with little signs of brain damage, but there are many more who have stepped away many fights too late and the damage is irreversible.

What you guys have to understand is that these boxers are indeed human beings. They sweat, they bleed(and you love it) and they except damage to the mind body and soul.

Boxing is an art. Brawling I guess you could say is an abstract form of the art. So as an artist would you rather paint in a formulated and structured fashion or would you rather your opponent just take your paint and splash it all over the canvas. If my paint is my mind I would choose the structured fight.

Granted, boxing is about fighting. But boxing is not a one page book. YOu have to have defense or you most likely will not survive. You will definately need some offense. You will need conditioning and stamina and you will need balls. God gave each boxer two legs, I dont see a problem in using them.

Maybe instead of yelling at the mover maybe you should rip into the stalker. Tell him to cut the ring, tell him to go in rolling under and to keep moving forward with punches. Maybe you will tell him to throiw caution to the wind and to just get in there and chase him down. If he is unable to do these things then it could only be said that he was purely out boxed. Out boxed, get it?.........................Rockin'

I guess Mohammed Hakkar was "outboxing" B-HOP, darn, they cheated Hakkar out of a victory. You said it Rockin'.

I'll put it to you this way. there's a difference in what PACMAN , Morales and Gatti do. Doesn't mean you stand in the trenches, that its not structured. I find what Chavez Sr. and Toney do is an art in itself. It takes just as much skills to be an outsanding inside fighter as it is to be a Larry Holmes or Mayweather Jr. Come to think of it, you can say Whitaker was an inside fighter, 'cause he stood in the pocket and was more about upper body movement than moving w/ his legs .

Of course there is an art to what Toney did. Toney was what boxing should be. He stands right in front of you, still uses movment, creates angles, uses outstanding defense, and isnt scared to mix it up a bit.

boxing is getting in the ring with the right equipment nothing else.

Judah was certainly running away from Boldamir.

ehh, i personally dont like running. never have, seein someone jab and run backwards 4 yards after is the most rediculous thing in any combat sport.

its called 'fighting'...tag and run doesnt really fit into that, at all. i can understand if a fighter needs or wants to tag and run. i mean, you dont get hit that way, and you dont have to fight that way. its a incredibley easy way out.

i understand if you do it to try and get your head right after being rocked, but starting like that from the first bell?....im not a fan of that.
