I hate it when people call some fighters runners when many of their fights are fought in the pocket and are sometimes walking fighters down. Stevenson is not a runner, Mayweather was not a runner, Sweet Pea Whitaker was not a runner. They fought in the pocket, circled, countered, fought on the ropes, walked down opponents, they did everything in that ring, brilliantly. And my favorite fighter of all time, Leonard was those things and vicious too.

Agree with Richardt, everything you say, my man. A lot of times a guy says 'he ran' means 'I didn't have the skills to hit him'. If a guy genuinely, flat-out, runs he will probably lose. He'll lose even if he lands more punches in the rare moments he isn't running. Andre Dirrell did run from Carl Froch & he did end up losing even though, by any measure, he landed more & better punches. He lost because all the rounds in which he just went back were scored for Carl. Running, in other words, is a high-risk strategy & I can't think of any top flight boxer that employs it unless you include Michael McKinson & that would be pushing it a bit IMO.Comment

Why do you think Martin vs Cruz can't happen, though. They're both available. They've been off the ring a total of almost a year. Who do you think would be their next fights respectively if they won't fight each other? Any two names from the PBC camp you can come up with?

Definitely doesn't want to be outclassed... Stevenson is something else, I think he's going to start knocking people out more at 135. His power has been underrated because he doesn't push for the KO's all that much... but people are hesitant with him. I think he has lowkey power.Comment

They didn't duck Shakur. Shakur is unwilling to go to Showtime or DAZN to fight them. It's all about the networks. Garcia vs Tank will also be available on DAZN.Comment

All the light weights from Showtime and DAZN are ducking Shakur. It has nothing to do with Networks or promotional company. ****ing duckers...
This is how ****** some of these posters sound.Comment
