    there is a difference between running and good movement.

    ex: dirrell ran vs. froch but moved well vs. abraham.

      It's becuse in-fighting isn't that popular anymore. A great in-fighter usually has a great ability to get inside and cut the ring off. I wish there are more in-fighters.

        cotto is not flatfooted. watch his fights against mosley, judah, quintana even against margarito.

          A boxer will play on his advantages. If he is not fleetfooted, but with good chin and power, who is to say he will not succeed up to the top.

            being flatfooted is way better than being a runner........

                You wanna see running/lame fighting go see Dirrel vs Froch, Martinez/Floyd fights are totally different ball game.

                  2 fleet footed fighters together is usually boring as fck. i'd hate for that to be the norm.
                  it'd be like a glorified game of tag.
