Is Roy Jones Jr a runner by your standards?

[Ivansmamma]

Roy was never a runner. He uses his footwork to confuse his opponent and move in and out of punching range in a fast unpredictable way. Leonard and Floyd are runners.

[baracuda]

no,floyd and derrick gainer are runners though!

[TheManchine]

No, he's a roider but not a runner.

The only time it's called boxing and not running is when your favorite fighter is doing it.

Remember that.

[Pullcounter]

running = survival mode

lateral movement != survival mode.

[We want Floyd]

No, he's a roider but not a runner.

*Awaits angry fanboy's response*

He roided at 175lbs, he obviously had to roid to reach heavyweight and he definitely ran against Toney!

Compare his fights against Toney and PAZ, there's a stark difference in the way he moved. He boxed PAZ and had his track shoes against JT!

Floyd is a runner, RJ is not a runner

That's true, he did have his track shoes on against Toney.

The roid discussion has been done many times...which goes with both fighters failing that test.

For HW roiding: Very possible but since he never failed the test and I'm sure we have others that have roided and didn't fail the test....it makes you think of others who move up in weight and don't get caught. So be careful where this goes. Were're in the steroid era. When ahtletes have money they can put it to good use. When athletes go on to get bigger, stronger, faster, better, and mature physically....a "?" will be brought up.
