I wonder what was his thoughts on Pernell Whitaker and Floyd Mayweather, Jr? Did he consider them runners too?

indeed. It is a “hit” and “dont get hit”.
the first word is “hit” which means that there should be more emphasis of boxers trying to hit than boxers trying not to get hit.
They should reward fighters who want to win than fighters who fight not to lose.

No doubt, he gets vicious when someone lands on him. It's in his DNA.
I think every boxing pro to trainer shows that their respect. Even Paulie said he could never do that.
Inoue's a throwback to Pacman, Trinidad...
Not afraid to prove his superiority, brawl, go tit for tat.
It's what makes him the most exciting and feared guy in the sport.
but will never understand how certain people have a problem with that.
maybe it's just hate, discrimination.

People who have miserable sad lives, tend to hate on others.
I don't even respond those, it's just a waste of time.
I come here to have intelligent conversations with those who know boxing.

Inuoe is one of the hardest hitting fighters relative to his division. Whilst Haney has average-below average power.
Why would Haney willingly expose himself to counters after throwing risky power punches when there is no benefit to do so?
OP is low IQ and doesn't understand meta.

"Cash Cow" is a relative term.
Inoue is a lot more lucrative in his weight classes than Boots is.
Welterweights have been making tens of millions of dollars for decades, now.
Boots is not a bigger cash cow than Spence, Crawford, Pacquaio, or Mayweather, who've fought in his weight class in the past decade.
Inoue, however is the biggest pay day any of those fighters under 126lbs will ever have, so in his weight range he has MORE power.
:You say Inoue "took every opportunity he's gotten", well, what top 10 P4P fighters has he had the opportunity to fight???
Who's the best fighter he's fought? An ancient (but still good) Nonito???
"Cool Boy Steph", who's talented, but most people thought he lost to Figueroa
Boots' neighborhood of 147-154 is wayyyy more dangerous than Inoue's
There's way more at stake for him.
There's nobody anywhere near him that's making P4P lists or is a draw.
It's a lot easier for him to dictate who he fights & when he fights them.
P4P is a biased popularity contest. The only lighter fighters that have ever made it onto P4P lists have gone on to be called ATGs, because you have to be one of the greatest fighters of all time to even get recognized. Have you ever even heard of, say, Knockout CP Freshmart? He held his title for 8 years and 16 title defenses. But because Westerners don't care about the lighter divisions, you won't find anyone who even cares that they exist, even though he was boxing's longest reigning titlist until he finally got dethroned by Oscar Collazo (who looks to be a heck of a fighter, but again, you won't ever find him on a P4P list).
The facts are that Inoue has taken every opportunity that's been offered him, including before he was a star, and Boots has turned down at least half a dozen fights against better fighters than the garbage on his resume. 62% win rate. It doesn't matter what metric you look at, Inoue and his opponents will be better in every respect than Ennis and his opponents. Ennis hasn't tested himself AT ALL until the last couple years. If you can't admit that, you've got some serious bias clouding your judgement. And again, he's not getting ducked when he's got guys from lower weight divisions talking about fighting him, and guys like Karen coming right back to force a rematch, and he's on record having turned down fights with Crawford and Ortiz.
